Express Entry System is Now Open!

Canada's Express Entry System is now open for those who are planning to live and work in Canada!  Here's a video explaining how Express Entry works...


Express Entry System is not an immigration program.  It's a management process for the following Immigration Programs:
  • Federal Skilled Workers Program
  • Canadian Experience Class
  • Federal Skilled Trades Class
The first step to process your application, if you are eligible, is to create your Express Entry Profile.  Once created, you need to create a Job Profile at Canada Job Bank.  Please note that you only have 30 days to create a job profile to activate your Express Entry Profile. Failure to do so would lead to cancellation of your Express Entry Profile.

Being admitted to the Express Entry Pool does not guarantee a visa.  You need to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) before you may apply for Permanent Residence in Canada.  On a regular basis, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will draw from the Pool and will select those with higher ranking using the new Points System.

To increase your ranking, there are several things you may do:

  • Improve your Language Test Results
  • Get a Job Offer
  • Get a Nomination
It may sound complicated and difficult but it really is a beneficial both for Canada and prospective immigrants.  For clients of Proactive Immigration Advisers Corp's clients, it will be less complicated because creating this Express Entry Profile will be done for them and they will be guided throughout the process.
