What We Do

We begin by reviewing your case and assessing your eligibility for Permanent Residence in Canada. We also assess the likelihood of success for your application.

Our next step is to collect the required documentation to support the Permanent Residence application.

Next, we prepare the application. This involves reviewing supporting documents, filling forms and cross-referencing information, and submitting the application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on your behalf.

What is Express Entry?

Express Entry (EE) is a Canadian online immigration application system. It allows people to submit a profile and be considered as a skilled immigrant (Direct PR immigration). Candidates with the highest rankings are invited to apply for permanent residency through this system.

How does Express Entry work?

If you complete an online profile using the Express Entry government portal, your application will be ranked according to a points system. The Express Entry draws are conducted every 15 days (subject to change) and the candidates are required to meet the minimum cut-off score as per the draw to become eligible for the PR invitation.

If you meet or exceed this cut-off score, you will be invited to apply for permanent residence as a skilled immigrant under the Express Entry System.

Once you have applied, your PR application will then be processed within the next 6 months.

Which Immigration Programs are covered under the Express Entry System?

• The Federal Skilled Worker Program

• The Federal Skilled Trades Program

• The Canadian Experience Class

• Provincial Nominee Programs that align with the Express Entry

How are the Express Entry profile points determined?

Your Express Entry profile will receive points based on:

• Your education level

• Your abilities in English and/or French (must demonstrate test results - IELTS General or CELPIP for English and TEF and TCF for French)

• Your work experience and skills

• Your age

• Canadian job offer (not mandatory)

Additional points are also awarded if you have completed a college or university program in Canada or if you have a provincial nomination (PNP) or an LMIA supported job offer.
