Whether you are a professional in your job with some years of experience in your country or you have been employed in Canada by a Canadian company and have earned your job experience in Canada, a system in Canadian immigration called “Express Entry” may be just the right one for you to relocate to permanently Canada. Express Entry system is used to manage applications for permanent residence under three federal economic immigration programs:
Provinces and territories can also recruit candidates from the Express Entry system through their Provincial Nominee Programs to meet local labour market needs.
Step 1) Potential candidates complete an online Express Entry profile
Potential candidates will complete an online Express Entry profile. This is a secure form that they will use to provide information about their:
Skills
Work Experience
Language Ability
Education
Other details that will help the applicant
Those who meet the criteria of one of the federal immigration programs listed above will be accepted into a pool of candidates.Anyone who does not already have a job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) (if you need one), or a nomination from a province or territory, must register with Employment and Social Development Canada’s (ESDC) Job Bank. Job Bank will help connect Express Entry candidates with eligible employers in Canada.Candidates are also encouraged to promote themselves to employers in other ways, such as using job boards, recruiters etc.
For a job offer to be valid in Express Entry and receive points, employers will need an LMIA from ESDC. The LMIA process ensures employers have made an effort to hire Canadians and permanent residents for available jobs. There will be no LMIA fee for permanent resident applications.
Step 2) The highest-ranking candidates will be invited to apply for permanent residence
Candidates will be ranked against others in the pool using a point-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System. Points are awarded using the information in their profile.
Candidates with the highest scores in the pool will be issued an Invitation to Apply. Candidates will be awarded points for:
a job offer, and/or
a nomination from a province or territory, and/or
skills and experience factors.
A candidate can get additional points for:
a job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment, or
a nomination by a province or territory
These additional points will make a candidate rank high enough to be invited to apply at the next eligible round of invitations.If the applicants is invited to apply, they will have sixty days to submit an online application for permanent residence.Citizenship and Immigration Canada will process the majority of complete applications (meaning those with all the necessary supporting documents) in six months or less.
Candidates profile can stay in the pool for on year. If they do not get an Invitation to Apply or “ITA” for permanent residence within 12 months of submitting an Express Entry profile, they have to create and submit a completely new profile. If they still meet the criteria, they can re-enter the pool. This will prevent backlog of cases and shorten the processing times.
