An Express Entry profile is an online digital form the applicant submits for Canada PR. The form can be submitted via the official IRCC online portal. The application form will contain details of work experience, language proficiency, educational qualifications, family connections, and any Canadian history, including work experience, an employment offer, studies, or family ties. Once sent, the profile will be evaluated to check the eligibility for the Express Entry program. To enter the Express Entry pool, applicants must qualify for immigration programs under the Express Entry system, such as the FSTP, FSWP, and the CEC. Eligible PR applications from the Express Entry pool will be shortlisted and given a CRS score (Comprehensive Ranking system), after which candidates with a high-ranking score will be issued an ITA (Invitation to Apply) to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
