Express Entry Visa
Express Entry is an online system used by the Canadian government to organize and process applications for professionals and skilled workers who wish to immigrate to Canada and acquire Canadian permanent residence status. Express Entry provides the pathway to permanent residence for skilled workers in Canada or overseas. If skilled foreign workers utilize Express entry, processing times will be reduced to six months or less. The system manages three main federal economic programs:
(i) Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
(ii) Federal Skilled Trades (FST)
(iii) Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)
The application process for Express Entry involves two steps. The initial step is to submit your profile, which necessitates the submission of the following documents:
(i) language test results,
(ii) educational credential assessment (ECA) report, and
(iii) a passport or travel document.
After you submit your profile and receive an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence, you will need to provide a more substantial application that includes reference letters, additional identity documents, police clearance certificates, and results of a medical examination.
The required documents for this category (vary case-by-case) include
(i) Educational documents (i.e., diplomas, degrees, certificates, transcripts etc.),
(ii) Electronic copies of the travel documents and passport(s),
(iii) Letters of reference/employment verification letters from previous employers,
(iv) Police certificates and clearances,
(v) Proof of language proficiency,
(vi) Proof of funds to support yourself and any dependents,
(vii) Proof of work experience in Canada,
(viii) Recent digital passport-sized photographs,
(ix) Valid medical exams (may be completed later),
(x) Other necessary documents such as birth certificate(s), dependant information (if applicable), divorce certificate and legal separation agreement (if applicable), marriage certificate (if applicable), and use of a representative form etc. if applicable.
The first step for an express entry visa is to register yourself at https://nsricvisa.ca/registration/ and upload all necessary documents. Then the NSRIC expert team will evaluate the candidate’s documents. NSRIC completes the process in three steps:
