Entry into the Express Entry Pool

Many people believe that they can enter the Express Entry pool easily. However, that quite isn’t the case. The step preceding access to Express Entry pool is the creation of Express Entry profile. In this online profile, you are required to give information about your age, education, official language proficiency, work experience among others.

You must meet the eligibility criteria to be able to gain access to the Express Entry pool.

Before you can create your Express Entry profile, you must complete a language test and get an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report. An ECA is required for any education completed outside Canada.

The job requirement

Being able to secure a job offer from a Canadian employer certainly helps you earn extra CRS points. However, it is not mandatory for you to have a job offer from a Canadian employer to seek permanent resident status in the country.

Any occupation is acceptable for Canada PR

For seeking immigration to Canada as a permanent resident, you must have minimum one year of skilled work experience in an occupation that features in the NOC list of Skill group 0, A or B. So, you must check if your occupation is one of those listed in the NOC skill groups.

Express Entry is the pathway to Canada PR

As Canada immigration talk takes place primarily around the Express Entry, many are led into believing that it is the only pathway to Canada PR. However, that is not the case, you can get Canada PR by securing provincial nomination from any of Canada’s 10 provinces. They recommend you to Canada’s federal government by issuing you a provincial nomination for Canada PR. Apart from provincial nomination under a provincial nominee program (PNP), there are other pathways also for becoming a permanent resident of Canada.
