EXPRESS ENTRY
CANADA NEEDS SKILLED PROFESSIONALS LIKE YOU!
One of the hallmarks of the Canadian Immigration system, and Canadian Society as a whole, is that we value prospective immigrants like you and your family. We bring hardworking people into our country and reward them with Canadian Permanent Residence (PR). A Canadian PR Card, which is similar to a US Green Card, allows the holder to live anywhere in Canada and work in any job they wish. It is also a gateway to Canadian Citizenship!
HOW WE CAN HELP:
In a lot of ways, immigrating to Canada will now be like applying for a job. You can think of your profiles like your CV or resume. Typically, you tailor your CV to the job you are applying for, while still being truthful to your career history. Your profiles for Express Entry are no different. – Certified Canadian Immigration Attorney Renaud Dery
Apart from our world class service standard and excellent track record of successful clients, we create two separate profiles for our clients. The first profile is for the Government of Canada’s official Job Bank database to help put you in touch with Canadian employers looking to hire. The second profile is created for the CIC which will allow you to be ranked against other applicants looking to apply under a federal immigration category or receive a provincial nomination. The profiles we will carefully create, on your behalf, will be based on your skills, experience and education. We will work closely with you to ensure your application showcases your exceptional talents and eligibility in the best possible light.

WHAT IS EXPRESS ENTRY:
The Express Entry system is a new way that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is managing the intake of applications for the Federal Skilled Worker program, the Federal Skilled Trades program and the Canadian Experience Class program as of Jan 1st, 2015. Processing times to receive your Canadian Permanent Residence Visa under Express Entry are quoted as low as 6 months!
HOW DOES IT WORK:
In brief, applicants submit an Expression of Interest form to CIC summarizing their skills and credentials. Following submission, applicants are entered into a pool of individuals with similar career backgrounds. Whether you rank higher or lower in your pool will completely depend on how you present your initial application.
Applicants that will be invited to apply for Canadian Permanent Residence will fall under one of
these three categories:
-
You are among the highest ranked in the pool of applicants
-
Appealing to an existing provincial nominee program or
-
Selected by a Canadian employer who wishes to sponsor their application
As you can see, applicants that stand out from the crowd are going to be much more likely to be invited to apply.
CANADIAN EMPLOYERS:
One of the more interesting aspects of the Express Entry system is the role that Canadian employers can now play in the immigration process. Part of the new Express Entry system asks that you create a profile on Government of Canada’s official Job Bank database. This allows employers, who cannot find a suitable Canadian to fill a position, the ability recruit an individual from the pool of prospective applicants waiting to immigrate to Canada. In this way the Canadian employer is sponsoring your application and therefore your file is fast tracked through the system. That said, if the employer wants you here sooner they can apply for a dual intent work permit and also sponsor your application for Canadian Permanent Residence. A Labour Market Impact Assessment will need to be done if they wish to sponsor you for permanent residence regardless of whether or not they are also applying for a Canadian Work Permit to get you here faster.
