Express Entry Draw is Around the Corner- Create your Express Entry profile now to unlock key benefits

As we are heading towards the end of this year, the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is likely to hold the express entry draw at any time from now. In the post-pandemic setup, the predictable pattern of Express Entry draws has shifted, with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) deviating from regular schedules. Presently, an EE draw has not occurred since October 26th, and IRCC has not provided an justification for the pause. Nevertheless, it remains key to consider entering the Express Entry pool for many compelling reasons. If you create your express entry profile now, you may reap some exclusive benefits.

Key benefits of creating Express entry profile now

Find below the key advantages of creating EE profile now:

• Obtain PNP nomination- Creating an Express Entry profile significantly enhances your chances of obtaining a provincial nomination for Canada PR. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) actively search for eligible candidates within the Express Entry pool. Upon receiving provincial nomination, applicants get 600 additional CRS points in Express Entry system, which ultimately seal Canada PR invitation for them in upcoming EE draw. For instance, in the recent OINP- Express entry-Human Capital Priorities (HCP) Stream draw occurred on 30 November 2023, Ontario invited 1,052 candidates with experience in Healthcare occupations and CRS score range 404-430.   Hence, such PNP draws are providing an excellent opportunity for Express Entry candidates seeking additional pathways to permanent residency.

• Get ITA in upcoming EE draw- By having an Express Entry profile, you position yourself to get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canada PR on time when Express Entry draws occur with lower cut-off scores. This can expedite your immigration process and bring you closer to realizing your Canadian PR aspirations.
• Category-based draws- Lately, frequent occurrence of category-based draws in the Express Entry system means that even with a relatively low Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, you might receive an ITA. In Category-based draws this year, the IRCC is inviting candidates strong French language proficiency or who have work experience to apply for permanent residence:
• Healthcare
• Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions
• Trades, such as carpenters, plumbers, and contractors
• Transport
• Agriculture and agri-food

This positive measure creates opportunities for individuals who may not have a high CRS score but still wish to pursue Canadian permanent residency.

• Job bank account- Registering an Express Entry profile allows you to create a "Plus Account" in the Canadian government's online Job Bank. This account facilitates your search for suitable job opportunities, increasing the likelihood of securing a Canadian job offer. A job offer can significantly boost your CRS score and enhance your overall eligibility for Canada PR.
