Immigrating to Canada through Express Entry

Express Entry involves completing an online profile and then waiting with other candidates in the Express Entry pool until the government conducts a draw. During the draw, candidates are selected based on specific immigration program requirements, points threshold, or occupation criteria.

The Express Entry subprograms include the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and specific components of the Provincial Nominee Programs. An RCIC can help determine your eligibility, guide you through the application process, gather the necessary documents, handle document submission, and assist you in preparing for relevant interviews with Canadian officials.
