You can get permanent residence in Canada through the Express Entry program if you have received an ITA (Invitation to apply). Once issued, the invitation is valid for 60 days before expiring. The Express Entry program is among Canada's fastest and most preferred immigration pathways. The program supervises and oversees three other economic immigration pathways (FSTP, FSWP, and the CEC). Applicants interested in migrating to Canada through Express Entry must first create an Express Entry profile and score at least 67 points to qualify. Profiles of candidates who enter the Express Entry pool will then be ranked by the CRS tool. The CRS points-based system ranks applicants based on age, education, work experience, language proficiency, etc. Candidates with a high ranking score in the Express Entry pool will then be selected via the Express Entry draws to apply for Canada PR.
