Express Entry Permanent Residence
We help skilled workers qualify for Express Entry, maximize CRS points, and navigate every step from profile creation to Confirmation of Permanent Residence.
Overview
Express Entry is Canada’s points‑based selection system for permanent residence. Candidates create an online profile and are ranked with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. IRCC invites the highest‑ranking candidates in periodic rounds of invitations. We focus on getting you into competitive range quickly, while ensuring documents are ready for a smooth e‑APR after you receive an ITA.
We work with all three economic programs that feed Express Entry: Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades (FST). Choosing the right program category and assembling proof early prevents last‑minute delays.
Eligibility
- Skilled work experience under NOC TEER 0–3.
- Official language results (IELTS/CELPIP or TEF/TCF).
- Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) if educated outside Canada.
- Proof of funds unless exempt (e.g., CEC, valid job in Canada).
We’ll confirm your qualifying program, identify gaps, and plan remedial steps where required.
CRS Strategy
CRS is the key lever. Improvements can come from better language results, additional education/ECA, Canadian or arranged employment, provincial nomination, and French bonuses. We map attainable paths with timelines, practice plans for language re‑tests, and employer guidance where appropriate.
