Express Entry Draw
Applicants who meet eligibility criteria submit a web profile referred to as an Expression of interest (EOI), under one among 3 federal Canada immigration programs or a participating provincial immigration program, to the Express Entry Pool.
Candidates’ profiles are ranked consistent with a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The best-ranked candidates are considered for a call for participation- Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. Those receiving an ITA must quickly submit all documents and pay processing fees, within 60-days.
