About the planHow the plan works
Express Entry is IRCC’s system for managing permanent-residence applications under the Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Trades programs. You first qualify for one of the programs, then enter a pool where candidates are ranked by their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, and are invited to apply when their score meets a draw’s cutoff. This plan follows that sequence step by step, from Discover to PR.
01 · Discover
Name your job in Canada’s system, count the experience that counts, and turn your language test into CLB levels.
02 · Qualify
Check which Express Entry program you can enter, then see your CRS score against recent draws.
03 · Prepare
Know the funds you must show, what the government fees add up to, and how long IRCC is currently taking.
04 · Pool
Build your Express Entry profile and submit it to the pool, where it’s ranked by CRS score until a draw invites you.
05 · ITA
IRCC has invited you to apply — the threshold between assessing your options and building the application itself.
06 · Application
Build your permanent residence application and check it against IRCC’s own checklist before you submit.
07 · PR
Your application is approved, and you become a permanent resident of Canada.

Core planning tools are free. When you’re ready to apply, advanced features can help you prepare, review, correct and organize your documents for submission.
These tools give estimates to help you plan. They are not legal advice, and no tool can guarantee an outcome. For advice on your own situation, speak to a licensed RCIC.
