How to apply for Canada PR?
Step 1: Determine Your Eligibility
Start by assessing your eligibility for Canada’s Express Entry program. The eligibility criteria are primarily based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points. You need to score at least 67 points out of 100 in the Federal Skilled Worker Point Grid. Points are awarded for factors such as your age, work experience, education, language proficiency, and adaptability.
Step 2: Credential Evaluation and Language Proficiency Test
Begin by having your educational credentials assessed through an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) process. This helps verify that your foreign education is equivalent to Canadian standards.
Take an approved English or French language proficiency test (e.g., IELTS for English). Ensure you achieve the required language scores.
Step 3: Create an Express Entry Profile
Register for an Express Entry account.
Fill in all the required information in your Express Entry profile, including details about your education, work experience, language proficiency, and more.
Step 4: Enter the Express Entry Pool
Once your profile is successfully submitted, it will enter the Express Entry pool. Your profile will be ranked based on your CRS score.
Step 5: Wait for an Invitation to Apply (ITA)
Express Entry draws are conducted regularly, and candidates with the highest CRS scores are issued Invitations to Apply (ITAs). You need to wait for your ITA to proceed with your application.
Step 6: Submit Documents and Pay Fees
Once you receive an ITA, you must provide all the necessary documents, which may include police clearance certificates, medical examinations, and proof of funds to support your settlement in Canada.
Pay the required application fees for yourself and your family members, if applicable.
Step 7: Receive Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR)
If your CRS score matches or exceeds the minimum score set in the latest Express Entry draw, and your application is complete and meets all requirements, you will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).
With the COPR in hand, you can make plans to move to Canada, as it signifies that you have been approved for permanent residency.
