Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

+

How does the Express Entry system work?

Express Entry is an online system used by the Canadian government to manage permanent residency applications for skilled workers. You’ll need to create a profile, receive a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, and wait for an Invitation to Apply (ITA) through regular draws conducted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

+

What is a good CRS score to receive an Invitation to Apply?

CRS cut-off scores vary from draw to draw. Generally, a score above 470 increases your chances, but candidates with scores in the lower 400s may also get selected through Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). At Makland Immigration, we can help you explore ways to improve your score.

+

Can I apply under Express Entry without a job offer?

Yes! A job offer is not mandatory to qualify for Express Entry. However, having a valid job offer can boost your CRS score significantly and increase your chances of receiving an ITA.

+

What is an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA), and do I need one?

If you completed your education outside Canada, you’ll need an ECA to prove that your education is equal to a Canadian credential. It’s a required document for the Federal Skilled Worker Program and helps in boosting your CRS score.

+

What happens after I receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)?

Once you receive an ITA, you’ll have 60 days to submit a complete permanent residence application along with all supporting documents. Makland Immigration will guide you step-by-step during this crucial stage to ensure everything is submitted correctly and on time.
