Express Entry PR

Your Route to Canadian Permanent Residency

Express Entry is Canada's federal points-based system for skilled worker immigration. IRCC runs draw rounds regularly — applicants above the CRS cut-off receive an Invitation to Apply for PR. We manage the full process from profile creation to landing.

1

Eligibility Assessment & Profile Creation

1–2 weeks

We assess your eligibility under the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), or Federal Skilled Trades (FST) programme. We build your Express Entry profile and calculate your initial CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score.

2

CRS Score Enhancement Strategy

2–8 weeks

We identify the highest-impact ways to improve your score — language retests, additional qualifications, provincial nomination (PNP) alignment, or a qualifying Canadian job offer. Every point matters in competitive draw rounds.

3

Express Entry Pool — Active Monitoring

Ongoing

Your profile is live in the pool. We monitor draw rounds and CRS cut-offs, alert you immediately when an Invitation to Apply (ITA) is issued, and advise on provincial nominee streams that could give you a guaranteed ITA outside the general draw.

4

Invitation to Apply (ITA) Received

60-day window

You have 60 days to submit a complete PR application after receiving an ITA. We begin document collection and preparation immediately so nothing is rushed.

5

Full PR Application Submitted to IRCC

4–6 weeks prep

We compile and submit your complete application — police clearance certificates from every country you have lived in, proof of funds, employment history, passport photos, and relationship documents for dependants.

6

Medical Examination & Biometrics

2–4 weeks

We guide you to an IRCC-approved panel physician for your immigration medical exam and to a VAC (Visa Application Centre) for biometrics. Both must be completed within IRCC's deadline.

7

COPR Issued & Landing in Canada

1–2 weeks

Once IRCC approves your application, your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and PR visa are issued. We brief you on the landing process, port of entry requirements, and SIN/provincial health card registration.

Healthcare professionals have a CRS advantage

A qualifying Canadian job offer from a healthcare employer adds up to 200 CRS points — often the difference between a general draw and a guaranteed ITA. If you are also pursuing NNAS registration, we align both timelines so your job offer and licensing are coordinated.

Student Support

Study in Canada — End-to-End Managed

From school selection to arriving at your institution, we handle every step of the Canadian study permit process — including the new Provincial Attestation Letter requirement introduced in 2024.

1

School / College Selection & Application

2–4 weeks

We help you identify DLI (Designated Learning Institution) schools matched to your academic profile, career goals, and budget — universities, colleges, and polytechnics across Ontario, BC, Alberta, Quebec, and beyond.

2

Letter of Acceptance (LOA) Secured

4–8 weeks

We manage the application process with your chosen institution(s), follow up on admission decisions, and advise on conditional offers. Your LOA is the foundation of your study permit application.

3

Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL)

2–4 weeks

Since Canada's 2024 study permit reforms, most applicants require a PAL from the provincial government before IRCC will process their study permit. We manage this submission on your behalf.

4

Study Permit Application (IMM 1294)

3–5 weeks

We prepare your complete IRCC study permit application — LOA, PAL, proof of funds (tuition + living costs), police clearance, passport photos, and medical exam if required by your nationality.

5

Biometrics

1–2 weeks

Most applicants must provide biometrics at a VAC. We confirm whether you are exempt (valid prior biometrics) and book your appointment if needed.

6

Study Permit Issued & Pre-departure Orientation

1–2 weeks

We brief you on arrival requirements, port of entry confirmation, SIN registration, provincial health coverage (OHIP / MSP / AHCIP), and post-graduation work permit (PGWP) planning so you arrive prepared.

Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)

Most graduates of eligible Canadian programmes can apply for a PGWP of up to 3 years — giving you Canadian work experience that directly feeds into an Express Entry CEC profile. We plan your PGWP strategy from day one of your study permit engagement.

Healthcare Licensing

NNAS, NCLEX-RN & Provincial Registration

Canadian nursing registration is provincially controlled — NNAS is the national gateway, but provincial colleges each set their own requirements. We manage every submission and follow-up across the process.

NNAS

National Nursing Assessment Service

All nurses — national gateway

CNO / BCCNM / CARNA

Provincial Nursing Colleges

Ontario · BC · Alberta (and others)

MCCQE / CEHPEA

Medical Council of Canada / CEHPEA

Physicians & Allied Health

1

NNAS Advisory Report

4–6 months

The National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS) evaluates international nursing credentials for all Canadian provinces. We compile and submit your full NNAS application — transcripts, registration verification, and language test results.

2

Provincial College Application

4–8 weeks

Once NNAS issues your Advisory Report, we apply to your target provincial college — CNO (Ontario), BCCNM (BC), CARNA (Alberta) — on your behalf. Requirements vary slightly by province; we advise on the fastest route for your credentials.

3

Language Proficiency

4–8 weeks prep

IELTS Academic (overall 7.0) or CELBAN (CLB 9 in all areas) for nurses. We assess your current level and recommend the most efficient preparation route.

4

NCLEX-RN Examination

8–14 weeks prep

Canada adopted NCLEX-RN for RN licensure. We enrol you in our NCLEX Academy module — structured study plan, 2,500+ NGN-format questions, and live instructor sessions.

5

Registration & Job Placement

4–8 weeks

On registration, we connect you to our healthcare employer network across Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. For those also pursuing PR, we align the job offer with your Express Entry profile for maximum CRS impact.

FAQ

Canada — Common Questions

Can I do Express Entry and healthcare licensing at the same time?

Yes — and it is often the smartest strategy. A Canadian job offer from a healthcare employer can add up to 200 CRS points to your Express Entry profile, potentially guaranteeing an ITA outside the general draw. We coordinate both tracks simultaneously.

What CRS score do I need for Express Entry?

Cut-off scores vary by draw round and programme. General FSW draws have ranged from 470–560 in recent years. Provincial Nominee Programme (PNP) aligned draws often have lower cut-offs and provide a near-guaranteed ITA. We assess your realistic score at the outset.

Which province should I target for my study permit?

Ontario and British Columbia host the largest institution networks, but Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan offer faster admission pipelines and lower cost of living. We match province to your programme, budget, and post-graduation work goals.

How long does NNAS take for nursing registration?

NNAS Advisory Reports typically take 4–6 months from submission, depending on how quickly your institutions respond to verification requests. We manage all follow-up communications and flag delays early.

Can I bring my family on a study permit or during Express Entry?

Study permit holders can include a spouse on an open work permit and dependent children. Express Entry PR holders can include family members in the same application. We provide full dependant briefings as part of your engagement.
