The Express Entry program was introduced by the Canadian
government on January 15, 2015. It is an online system that is used to manage
applications from skilled workers.
The Immigration, refugees, and citizenship Canada(IRCC) help
eligible applicants to apply for permanent residency in Canada. The eligible
applicants can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). For EOI, the candidate
needs to create an online Express Entry profile and enter into the Express
Entry Pool, where they will have a score called the Comprehensive
Ranking System (CRS).
Applicants will be assigned a score out of 1,200 under the
CRS. This score is utilized to rank the applicants that apply to immigrate to
Canada. Aspirants have an option to improve their rankings and increase their
chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) which is the biggest hurdle
crossed. Post ITA, the govt. ideally gives one 60 days to submit all the
documents as per the checklist, along with the Medical and Police clearance
certificate. On r
eceiving, they give you an AOR(Acknowledgement of Receipt) and
take up to 6 months’ time to verify and send the acceptance.
IRCC performs the draw twice or thrice every month from this the pool of hopefuls, where the top-ranked contenders will receive an ITA
accordingly.
