Express Entry: A Two- Step Process
Create your online profile
Candidates for permanent residence across 347 occupations (Management & Financial Services, Engineering, Information Technology & Sciences, Health Occupations, Skilled Trades) who meet minimum entry criteria, can submit an expression of interest profile to the Express Entry Pool. Qualifications include age, education, language proficiency, work experience and other factors.
The profiles of candidates in the pool are ranked under a Comprehensive Ranking System measuring their human capital contribution to Canada. Candidates without a job offer or provincial nomination should also submit an employment profile with the Canada Job Bank.
Receive your invitation to apply for permanent residence
Canadian employers who cannot access Canadians for hire are encouraged to provide a job offer to candidates of their choice in the Express Entry Pool. Candidates with job offers or with provincial nomination will receive the highest rank.
The profiles of all candidates will be assessed against others in the pool. The highest ranked candidates from among those a) offered a job by a Canadian employer, b) with provincial nomination and c) without a job offer will be considered for an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence. Candidates receiving an invitation must submit a full application within a delay of 60-days. Invitations will be issued during periodic draws throughout the year. Successful applicants and their accompanying dependents will be processed within approximately 6-months.
If you do not receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence
The profile of candidates will remain in the Express Entry Pool for 12 months. Thereafter, candidates who meet the minimum criteria may re-submit a new profile.
