Are you dreaming of a new life in Canada—one filled with opportunity, safety, and success? Canada’s Express Entry system might be your best path forward. At Starwayz Immigration & Visa Services, we specialize in simplifying this journey, whether you're applying from outside or already residing inside Canada. Let’s break down what you need to know about Express Entry in Canada and how it works.

What is Express Entry in Canada?

Express Entry in Canada is a streamlined immigration application system introduced by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to manage permanent residency applications for skilled workers. It focuses on bringing in talent that can contribute to Canada’s growing economy and meet labour market needs.

The system is points-based and selects candidates through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The higher your score, the better your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

Who is Eligible for Express Entry Inside Canada?

If you are already residing inside Canada as a temporary foreign worker, international student, or under another visa type, you may be eligible to apply through Express Entry. The three key programs managed under Express Entry include:

• Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

• Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

Being already inside Canada offers some advantages. You may already have Canadian education or work experience, which can significantly boost your CRS score.

How Express Entry Works: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Check Eligibility

Each program under Express Entry has specific criteria including age, language proficiency (English or French), work experience, education, and adaptability. Our experts at Starwayz Immigration can help assess your eligibility accurately.

Step 2: Create an Express Entry Profile

Once eligible, you’ll create an online profile and enter the Express Entry pool. Your profile will be scored using the CRS.

Step 3: Improve Your CRS Score

Your CRS score can be improved through:

• Gaining more work experience

• Improving language test scores (IELTS/CELPIP)

• Pursuing additional education

• Obtaining a provincial nomination

• Securing a valid job offer

Step 4: Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)

Candidates with the highest CRS scores in the pool are invited to apply for permanent residence during regular draws conducted by IRCC.

Step 5: Submit Your PR Application

Once invited, you have 60 days to submit your complete PR application with all required documents.

Express Entry Inside Canada: Your Additional Advantage

If you're already inside Canada, you're in a unique position. Canadian work experience and a valid job offer from a Canadian employer can significantly enhance your CRS ranking. The Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program, in particular, is tailored for those who have already worked in Canada for at least one year in a skilled occupation.

International students who have completed post-secondary education in Canada and gained work experience through a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) are also ideal candidates for Express Entry under CEC.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) and Express Entry

Many provinces in Canada also offer Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) linked with Express Entry. If selected by a province, you receive 600 extra CRS points, which almost guarantees an ITA in the next draw.

Some popular Express Entry-linked PNPs include:

• Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

• British Columbia PNP

• Alberta Express Entry Stream

Our team at Starwayz can help you navigate the PNP streams that align with your profession and background.
