IMMIGRATION PATHWAY

Express Entry to Canada

The fastest pathway for skilled workers to become permanent residents. I've guided hundreds of clients through CRS scoring, profile optimization, and successful ITA submissions.

What Is Express Entry?

Express Entry is Canada's flagship immigration system for skilled workers. It manages applications for three federal programs: • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) • Canadian Experience Class (CEC) As your RCIC, I'll determine which program best fits your profile and build the strongest possible application.

How the CRS Score Works

Your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score determines your position in the Express Entry pool. Factors include: • Age, education, and language proficiency • Canadian work experience • Arranged employment or provincial nomination • Spouse/partner factors I specialize in identifying opportunities to boost your CRS score — from language test strategies to provincial nomination pathways that can add 600+ points.

The Process Timeline

1. Profile Assessment — I evaluate your eligibility and CRS competitiveness 2. Express Entry Profile — I create and submit your online profile with optimized documentation 3. Pool Entry & ITA — We monitor draws and respond immediately when you receive an Invitation to Apply 4. PR Application — I compile a comprehensive application package 5. Medical & Security — I guide you through biometrics, medical exams, and police certificates 6. COPR & Landing — Confirmation of Permanent Residence and your new life in Canada

Why Clients Choose Me for Express Entry

Express Entry seems straightforward — until it isn't. Common pitfalls include incorrect NOC code classification, inadequate reference letters, and missing documents that trigger procedural fairness letters. I've seen these issues hundreds of times. My applications are built to IRCC's exact standards, with every document cross-referenced and every claim substantiated. That's why my Express Entry success rate is 99%.
