Additionally, if you’re eligible for any of the above programs, you can also apply through Express Entry for the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). A nomination under this program can significantly increase your chances of receiving an invitation to apply due to the additional points awarded.

The Express Entry Process: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Eligibility Check: Determine if you meet the minimum requirements of the Express Entry programs by answering a few questions or reading the detailed requirements for each program.
2. Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Score: If eligible, submit your profile to be ranked in the Express Entry pool. The CRS, a points-based system, assesses and scores your profile. Use the CRS tool to estimate your score.
3. Document Preparation: Prepare necessary documents, such as language test results, to demonstrate your eligibility for Express Entry. Begin this process early as some documents may take time to obtain.
4. Profile Submission: Create and submit your Express Entry profile. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you’ll be accepted into the candidate pool and assigned a CRS score.
5. Invitation and Application: The highest-scoring candidates in the pool will receive invitations to apply. Upon invitation, you have 60 days to submit your complete application. Most applications with all supporting documents are processed within six months.
