What is Express Entry?

The Express Entry application management system was created in 2015 to assist IRCC in identifying applicants for economic immigration with high levels of education who would be qualified for permanent residence.

The system ranks applicants from the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class using the Comprehensive Ranking System. It takes into account a candidate’s job history, line of work, language proficiency, education, age, and other transferable factors. The most likely recipients of an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency are the individuals with the highest CRS scores’

Later this year, it’s anticipated that IRCC will start to target applicants based on any particular quality that is thought to be in demand at the time in Canada’s economy, rather than putting the greatest focus on a high CRS score.

Will The CRS no longer be used for Express Entry?

For Express Entry draws, a candidate’s CRS score will still be taken into consideration. Candidates will still be invited to draws by IRCC without consideration of any of the six categories. Both general and program-specific draws may fall under this category.

According to IRCC, Express Entry pool candidates who match the category requirements will be ranked, and the top candidates will be invited to apply for permanent residence.

What is Canada PR processing time?

The processing time for Canada Permanent Resident (PR) applications can vary depending on several factors, including the type of PR program you are applying through, the completeness of your application, the volume of applications being processed, and any additional security or medical checks that may be required.

The whole Canada PR processing time takes from 12 months to 24 months. Canada PR is a stage-by-stage process right from getting the ITA (Invitation to Apply) to getting the Canada COPR request and flying off to Canada and every step has a recorded processing time.

Peerless Immigration Services has helped several of its clients in getting Canada PR in less timeframe with the accurate Canada PR process and documentation.
