Hi there!


Yes, there’s already a detailed guide on the forum called “Express Entry in a Nutshell” — it explains the whole process step by step. You can check it out here:
Express Entry in a Nutshell


Here’s a short summary of the process to help you get started:


  1. Check Eligibility – Use the “Come to Canada” tool on the IRCC website to see if you qualify for Express Entry (under FSW, FST, or CEC).
  2. Language Test – Take IELTS or CELPIP (for English) or TEF (for French).
  3. Education Assessment (ECA) – Get your foreign degrees verified through a recognized organization (like WES).
  4. Create Your Profile – Once you have your test results and ECA, create your Express Entry profile online.
  5. Get Your CRS Score – You’ll be entered into a pool and ranked based on your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.
  6. Receive an ITA (Invitation to Apply) – If your score is high enough, you’ll receive an invitation.
  7. Submit Full Application (e-APR) – Upload documents (police certificates, medicals, proof of funds, etc.) within 60 days.
  8. Wait for Approval – After review, you’ll get your Passport Request (PPR) and Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).

Tip: Keep all documents ready early — it makes the process much smoother.


Hope this helps you and others who are starting the Express Entry journey!
 
Hey guys. I am 34 year male, MBA (WES certified), working in healthcare management, fluent in English, more than enough proof of funds for myself and my wife. Given my profile, I have a question and I would appreciate anyone with an informed answer:

Would learning French and aiming for CLB 7 likely to get me an ITA (assuming IRCC does not remove the French category draws in the next year or two)? Or is it too late because of my age? Thanks in advance.

What is your current CRS score? If not high and your NOC not selected for healthcare draws then French is an option. You lose points due to age but may get ITA for a French draw if score is high enough.

My score is 454, which is not close to the 472 cut off score for the most recent 'Healthcare and social services occupations' draw. I also have never been to Canada so CEC is not an option. So I was wondering if learning French thoroughly over the next 12 months and aiming for the 'French language proficiency' draws is my best option. Or even a PNPs even though I do not know how to apply for those.

What is your NOC? French is only option. Assume you know some French now or going to dedicate yourself to French for the next 12 months with classes, social groups, lessons etc.

I appreciate your help and advice. Even though my masters was MBA, my experience has been mostly health related (health service delivery) so my NOC code is 30010 I believe.

That is not a NOC under the Healthcare draw so French is only option. Healthcare NOCs are doctors, nurses etc.
 
I’m sharing my personal experience as someone who successfully applied for Permanent Residence (PR) in Canada as a refugee. The recent surge in PR processing times has been alarming — some cases reportedly taking up to 99 months! It’s stressful, but with the right guidance, it’s manageable.
