Express Entry Services
The Express Entry system allows foreign skilled workers to apply for permanent residence in Canada. The categories of applications that fall within the Express Entry include the Federal Skilled Worker Category, the Federal Skilled Trades Category, the Canadian Experience Class, and the Provincial Nominee Programs.
In order to apply under these categories, qualified foreign applicants must first register an expression of interest with the Express Entry then wait to see if they are invited to apply for permanent residence. There is no requirement to have a job offer in Canada to apply under the Express Entry.

Learn MoreHow Does Express Entry Work?
Step 1: Create an Express Entry Profile
Express Entry consists of a 2-step process. First, you create an Express Entry profile, providing information on your education, work experience, language, and other skills. Once you submit your profile, you will be placed in a pool of candidates. Candidates are ranked through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), and top-ranking candidates are regularly invited to apply for permanent residence.
Step 2: Invitation To Apply (ITA)
Candidates within the Express Entry system are ranked against each other based on a point system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Every few weeks, those with the highest CRS scores will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. Once you receive an ITA, you have 60 days to submit an online application for permanent residence.

Free AssessmentCommon Refusal Reasons for Express Entry Applications
One common scenario that leads to Express Entry refusal is when you fail to provide your work experience properly. Your application may also be refused if you do not attach the right supporting documents. You may also face a refusal if the immigration officer is unsure about certain elements in your application such as your job duties.
Another scenario is when you have inconsistencies or mistakes such as adding a work experience that you had not included 5 years ago in previous applications. Immigration officers check the slightest details so you must ensure that there are no inconsistencies. Lack of proper supporting documentation can also lead to refusal.
