Express Entry – Fast-Track Your Canadian Dream with Akhil Immigration Solutions Inc.
Canada’s Express Entry program offers one of the most efficient pathways to achieving permanent residency (PR). At Akhil Immigration Solutions Inc., we guide you through each step of the Express Entry process, ensuring you maximize your chances of success. Our experienced consultants are committed to making your Canadian dream a reality, providing a full range of support services tailored to your unique qualifications and goals.
What is the Express Entry Program?
Express Entry is Canada’s innovative immigration system, introduced by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), that manages applications for three economic immigration programs:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): For skilled professionals with foreign work experience and specific language abilities.
- Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): For skilled tradespeople with practical work experience and training in eligible trades.
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC): For individuals with Canadian work experience who wish to transition to permanent residency.
Using a points-based system, Express Entry evaluates applicants on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language skills. This system ensures that qualified candidates are invited to apply for permanent residency, benefiting both the applicant and Canada’s economy.

Understanding the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
The CRS score is the backbone of the Express Entry system, determining which candidates are invited to apply for permanent residency. Scores are based on the following factors:
- Core Human Capital: Factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills.
- Spouse or Common-Law Partner: If applicable, additional points are awarded based on your partner’s education, work experience, and language skills.
- Skill Transferability: Points are awarded for a combination of skills and experience, education, and language proficiency.
- Additional Points: Extra points are available for factors such as a job offer from a Canadian employer, a provincial nomination, or having a sibling in Canada who is a citizen or PR holder.
At Akhil Immigration Solutions Inc., we help you understand these factors and work towards increasing your CRS score, boosting your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
Eligibility Requirements for Express Entry
Each program under Express Entry has specific requirements:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): Requires skilled work experience (at least one year), a minimum language proficiency level, and educational credentials.
- Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): Requires at least two years of full-time work experience in a skilled trade within the past five years and a valid job offer or certificate of qualification.
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC): Requires a minimum of one year of Canadian work experience within the past three years and proof of language proficiency.
Our consultants assess your eligibility for each program, ensuring you apply under the program that best matches your qualifications.
Step-by-Step Guide to the Express Entry Process
Here’s a brief overview of the Express Entry application process:
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
Our team conducts an initial assessment to determine if you meet the requirements for any of the Express Entry programs.
Step 2: Gather Necessary Documents
Documents such as passports, educational credentials, work experience letters, and language test results are essential for completing your profile.
Step 3: Create an Express Entry Profile
Once all necessary documents are prepared, we create and submit your Express Entry profile. You’ll be assigned a CRS score and placed into the pool with other candidates.
Step 4: Improve Your CRS Score
While waiting in the pool, we work with you to improve your CRS score. Strategies include retaking language tests, gaining additional work experience, or considering a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) to receive additional points.
Step 5: Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)
If your CRS score meets or exceeds the cutoff for a particular draw, you’ll receive an ITA. With our guidance, you’ll prepare the final PR application and submit it within the required timeframe.
Step 6: Submit Your PR Application
Once the PR application is submitted, IRCC reviews it. We handle all communication with IRCC, providing any additional information as requested.
Step 7: Complete Medical and Security Checks
Akhil Immigration Solutions Inc. will guide you through the medical and security check process, a mandatory part of the application.
Step 8: Receive PR Confirmation
Upon approval, you’ll receive your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and can begin preparing to make Canada your new home!
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – Boost Your Chances with a Provincial Nomination
Some Canadian provinces have their own immigration programs under Express Entry, known as Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). These programs are designed to address specific provincial labor needs. Receiving a provincial nomination adds 600 points to your CRS score, significantly improving your chances of receiving an ITA.
Our team at Akhil Immigration Solutions Inc. helps you explore PNP options based on your background and career goals. We assist with the application process, including preparing documentation and connecting you with provinces looking for skilled immigrants in your field.
