Canada’s Express Entry (EE) system is a selection process used by the Canadian government’s department of “Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada” (IRCC) to select skilled immigrants to become permanent residents of Canada. In order to enter the pool, eligible candidates must meet the Express Entry Canada requirements by qualifying for one of the following Canadian immigration programs.
Express Entry encompasses three Canadian immigration programs:
• Federal Skilled Worker Program
• Federal Skilled Trades Program
• Canadian Experience Class
Some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) also have an Express Entry component. If you receive a nomination from a provincial authority, you are able to include the respective approval on your Express Entry submission.
If you want to apply for the Express Entry program, start by creating a profile or speak to one of our Canadian immigration lawyers. You have 90 days to complete the online profile and upload the required documents. Your profile contains your personal information and skills that contribute to your score in the point-based Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
The profile will help the IRCC determine if you meet Canada’s Express Entry requirements. If you’re eligible, you will then be accepted into a pool where you will be ranked according to your CRS score. You will then wait in the pool until you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.
The CRS gives you a score based on the information in your profile, including:
You can increase your points for Express Entry with:
If you are eligible for Express Entry, your application can stay in the pool for up to 12 months depending on your CRS score and the government’s objective during the respective draws. If the IRCC invites you to apply, then you will have 60 days to submit an online application for permanent residency.
The IRCC aims to process your application for permanent residency within 6 months. If you do not receive an ITA within 12 months, then you can update your profile and you will need to re-enter the pool.
These are some of the top reasons for why an ITA may be denied:
You can avoid a Canadian immigration refusal best by working with an experienced immigration lawyer who can help eliminate errors and optimize your profile. Applying for an Express Entry visa is a complicated and competitive process that becomes quite timely—especially if you have to re-submit your application.
By working with My Visa Source on your Canada Express Entry Visa, we will start by ensuring your profile is completed honestly and accurately, with all the required paperwork uploaded within the 90-day deadline.

I had a very insightful conversation with Jesse today. For my Express PR Application I have talked to multiple Immigration Agencies, none were able to provide a quick call tailored to my specific situation. I never expected a phone call of 19min to be so actionable and to the point . Highly recommend them for their level of professionalism and integrity.

I would highly recommend My Visa Source for all your immigration needs. My whole express entry case was attended to by Sonia Mann and her team, who handled my PR case with professionality and majority of communication was via e-mail, which was perfect for me. Thank you My Visa Source.
