DETERMINE YOUR ELIGIBLITY

in the eligibility criteria before applying.
CREATE AN ONLINE EXPRESS ENTRY PROFILE
Candidates for Canadian permanent residence who are eligible for the Federal Skilled Worker Program make an expression of interest in immigrating to Canada by creating an online profile. You provide information about your skills, work experience, language ability, education, and other personal information. Once your eligibility has been confirmed by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), you are placed in a pool of candidates who are ranked according to a Comprehensive Ranking System. If a candidate does not already have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer or a provincial nomination, he or she must register with Canada’s Job Bank.
IMPROVE YOUR PROFILE AND RANKING UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE RANKING SYSTEM
Eligible candidates in the Express Entry pool are ranked according to the Comprehensive Ranking System, which ranks eligible candidates for immigration to Canada through Express Entry. The highest ranked candidates are issued invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence when the government of Canada performs regular draws from the pool. Therefore, it is in candidates’ best interests to strive to improve their scores in order to increase their chances of receiving an invitation to apply.
RECEIVE AN INVITATION TO APPLY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCY IN CANADA
An Invitation to Apply is offered to any candidate in the Express Entry pool who has been selected to apply for immigration to Canada by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) through the Express Entry immigration selection system. Invitations to Apply are issued on a priority basis when CIC performs a draw from the Express Entry pool, which is made up of candidates who have made an expression of interest in immigrating to Canada.
COMPLETE MEDICAL, PROVIDE SECURITY CHECKS AND SUBMIT E-APPLICATION
All Canadian immigration applicants are required to undergo medical examinations. These examinations are intended to detect any conditions, which may affect the health of the Canadian public, or which may result in excessive demands being placed upon Canadian health or social services.
APPLICATION TO BE REVIEWED BY CANADIAN IMMIGRATION VISA OFFICER
A Canadian Immigration Visa Officer will make a detailed analysis of all the information contained in the e-application and all the supporting documents, and assess the application against the current selection criteria.
REQUEST FOR YOUR PASSPORT AND RIGHT OF PERMANENT RESIDENT FEE
The Canadian Immigration Visa Office will request the Right of Permanent Resident Fee (RPRF) payment and your passport for the purpose of issuing a Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa.
