A TikTok user with the handle @seyicanada is shedding light on the growing popularity of Canada's Express Entry program for those aspiring to obtain permanent residency in the country.
Renowned for its speed and simplicity, the program offers the potential to receive an invitation to apply for permanent residency in as little as six months.
The Express Entry process commences with the creation of a profile, involving language exams and obtaining an education credential assessment, particularly emphasizing a high score in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Additionally, individuals educated outside Canada must complete an Education Credential Assessment (ECA), commonly through the World Education Services (WES).
Candidates meeting these requirements can enter the Express Entry pool, with factors like education, language proficiency, work experience, adaptability, and familial connections in Canada contributing to their overall score.
Individuals can enhance their chances by earning an additional 600 points through a provincial nomination, a significant advantage in the invitation process. @seyicanada stresses that entering the Express Entry pool is free of charge.
The process involves submitting necessary documents, undergoing medical and security checks, and paying required fees after receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.
Expressing concern that this path is often overlooked due to a lack of understanding, @seyicanada emphasizes that the Express Entry program is one of the most straightforward routes to achieving permanent residency in Canada. She encourages seizing the opportunity by creating an Express Entry profile, completing language exams, obtaining an ECA, and ensuring at least one year of skilled work experience.
In her words:
“One of the most straightforward paths to permanent residency in Canada. Sadly this path is being ignored by lots of people simply because they don’t understand it and this is permanent residency through express entry.
“You can get express entry permanent residency in only 6 months but the first thing you need to do is create an express entry profile. To create an express entry profile, you have to actually do the English exams that is IELTS and you need to aim to score very high.
“Then if you schooled outside of Canada, you need to do your education credential assessment, which is the ECA. The most popular one is WES, so you need to send your education credentials to WES to actually complete that so once you have your ECA completed and you have your IELTS and you have at least one year of skilled work experience, you can actually get into what is called the express entry pool.
“Express entry is a points based system, which means you actually need to score a certain amount of points or scores called the CRS course for you to be invited to permanent residence. What forms those course is your education, your IELTS course, your education credentials, if you have relatives in Canada, your adaptability scores and also scores for your spouse if your spouse is applying along with you also want them to contribute to your point. “You can also get 600 extra points if you are nominated by a province or you get provincial nomination and you add it to your express entry profile that’s almost a guarantee that you are going to get invited to apply for permanent residency, you are going to get what is called an ITA which is an invitation to apply for permanent resident. Getting into the express entry pool is free, you don’t need to pay any money, you just have to open an Express entry pool profile and have the IELTS, your ECA and atleast one year of work experience.”
