Express Entry System – Your Gateway to Canadian Residency
The Express Entry system, a cornerstone of Canadian immigration policy since January 2015, offers a streamlined pathway for skilled workers seeking permanent residency. Renowned for its efficiency and competitive, point-based approach, Express Entry evaluates candidates under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), prioritizing those most likely to succeed in Canada’s dynamic economy. At SAAB Immigration Services Inc., we are dedicated to navigating you through this process, ensuring your profile stands out in the Express Entry pool.
Express Entry Process
The journey through Express Entry begins with the creation of a comprehensive profile, encapsulating your job history, educational background, language proficiency, and other crucial details. This profile is then assessed and assigned a CRS score, determining your ranking in the Express Entry pool. High-ranking candidates are issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
In the absence of a valid job offer or provincial nomination, candidates are encouraged to register with the Canadian Job Bank to enhance their visibility to potential employers. Upon receiving an ITA, you will need to complete the online application process, providing documentation to substantiate your Express Entry profile.
Pathways Under Express Entry
Express Entry encompasses three primary immigration programs, each catering to a distinct set of skills and experiences:
Additionally, candidates can enhance their prospects through Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), which offer alternative pathways to permanent residency tailored to the specific needs of Canada’s provinces and territories.
