Express Entry

Express Entry is an online immigration system which manages skilled workers applications for permanent residence to Canada under federal and certain provincial economic programs.

The new express entry system will be for you.

With the Express Entry System, an electronic profile of the applicant must be prepared and submitted to IRCC. Queens County can help you navigate through this process and submit the best profile for you.

IRCC will then assess and rank your profile amongst other applicants’ profiles in a pool. Your assessment and ranking will be based on:

English and/or French language skills,
Education,
Work experience, and
Other factors were shown to help newcomers prosper in Canada.

Only top-ranked profiles would receive an invitation to apply for permanent residency in Canada.

Note: Completing an online Express Entry profile or entering the pool does not guarantee that you will get an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence.

The government’s objective is to process most applications for permanent residency within six months or less. (This period starts on the date they get a complete application and ends on the date a final decision is made on your application for permanent residence.)

If you are ranked amongst the top profiles and you are invited to apply for permanent residency, Queens County will walk you step-by-step in preparing this application and submitting it to IRCC
