Find answers to common immigration questions
The Express Entry process typically takes 6 months from the time you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) to when your application is processed. However, receiving an ITA depends on your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and the frequency of draws. Our team works to optimize your profile to improve your chances of receiving an ITA quickly.
There is no fixed minimum CRS score as it varies with each draw. Recent draws have seen scores ranging from 470-500+. We analyze current trends and help optimize your score through strategies like improving language scores, gaining additional work experience, or securing a Provincial Nomination, which adds 600 points to your CRS score.
Yes, you can include your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children (under 22 years old) in your application. Including family members may affect your CRS score positively if your spouse has good language skills, education, or Canadian work experience. We help assess the best strategy for your family situation.
No, a job offer is not always required. Many immigration programs, including Express Entry, don't require a job offer. However, having a valid job offer can significantly boost your CRS score by 50-200 points depending on the position. We can help you explore both pathways and identify opportunities for job offers when beneficial.
Required documents typically include language test results (IELTS/CELPIP/TEF), Educational Credential Assessment (ECA), work experience letters, passport, police clearances, and medical exams. The specific requirements vary by program. We provide a comprehensive checklist and guide you through the document preparation process to ensure everything meets IRCC standards.
For 2024, the required proof of funds are: $14,690 CAD for a single applicant, $18,288 CAD for two family members, $22,483 CAD for three members, and additional amounts for larger families. These funds must be readily available and properly documented. We help ensure your financial documentation meets all requirements.
