Express Entry is a streamlined online system designed to manage applications for immigration to Canada from skilled workers. This efficient system facilitates the processing of applications through three main immigration programs, each targeting different categories of applicants:
Express Entry uses a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to evaluate and score each candidate’s profile and rank them in the system. The highest-ranking candidates are then invited to apply for permanent residency in Canada, streamlining the immigration process for skilled workers.
Scope Immigration carefully guides you through a five-step process to determine your eligibility for Express Entry, helping you create a personalized plan based on your unique needs:
Scope Immigration begins by evaluating whether you meet the criteria for Express Entry programs. We help you answer key questions and review detailed program requirements to ensure you understand what is necessary to qualify.
If you qualify, Scope Immigration assists you in submitting your profile to the Express Entry pool. Here, your profile will be ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). This system assesses and scores your profile based on factors like skills, experience, and other attributes. We also help you estimate and understand your score using the CRS tool to enhance your chances of advancing in the process.
Before creating your profile, it’s important to gather all required documents, such as language test results, which demonstrate your eligibility. Scope Immigration advises you to begin this process well in advance due to potential delays in obtaining some documents. We provide support in organizing and preparing your documentation to avoid any setbacks.
With our guidance, you will complete and submit your Express Entry profile. If you meet the eligibility criteria, your profile will enter the pool, and you will receive a CRS score. This score is crucial as it determines your ranking within the pool.
The highest-ranked candidates in the pool will receive invitations to apply for permanent residence. Should you receive an invitation, Scope Immigration will assist you in preparing and submitting a comprehensive application within the 60-day deadline. We aim for a smooth and prompt submission process, typically achieving application processing within six months or less.
Scope Immigration is committed to providing clear, thorough guidance every step of the way, ensuring you feel confident and well-prepared throughout your Express Entry application process.
The Express Entry process is structured with specific timelines:
Profile Validity: An Express Entry profile remains valid for up to one year. This allows candidates ample time to be selected from the pool and receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
Application Processing: Once a candidate receives an ITA, the Canadian government aims to process their application for permanent residence within six months. This six-month period starts when a complete application is submitted and ends once a decision is made.
Resubmission: If a candidate does not receive an ITA within the one-year validity of their profile, they may re-submit their profile if they continue to meet the eligibility requirements. This re-submission can extend their chances of receiving an ITA.
