Things To Consider Before Applying For Your Express Entry

Category Requirements

  • The federal Skilled Worker Program
  • The Canadian Experience Class
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program

Each of these has different requirements, so ensure that you satisfy all of them. 

Comprehensive Ranking Score

Ensure that you meet the minimum CRS or Comprehensive Ranking Score required by the Invitation to Apply or ITA. The score depends on your skills, education, and language ability.

Police Clearance

You require police clearance for each country in which you live. This clearance should be within the past six months if you live in the country. However, if you are not living there, the police clearance should have been issued after the last time you lived there. 

Educational Credential Assessment

Include an educational credential assessment to avoid the delay in finding your academic information online. 

SPAM

Sometimes the emails from IRCC may go to spam. So keep checking your SPAM folder until you get your permanent residence. 

Funds

You need minimum funds to apply for Express Entry. Keep these throughout the entire process until you get your PR.

Changes to Family Composition

Declare the changes to your family, like pregnancy, divorce, or marriage. If you fail to mention these changes, you might get barred from Canada forever. 

Translation Requirements

If you have documents in languages other than English, ensure that you get them translated according to IRCC guidelines.
