Appreciate the detailed steps. It’s always better to hear from people who already went through the process rather than just relying on the government site.

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:
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).
Language Test – Take IELTS or CELPIP (for English) or TEF (for French).
Education Assessment (ECA) – Get your foreign degrees verified through a recognized organization (like WES).
Create Your Profile – Once you have your test results and ECA, create your Express Entry profile online.
Get Your CRS Score – You’ll be entered into a pool and ranked based on your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.
Receive an ITA (Invitation to Apply) – If your score is high enough, you’ll receive an invitation.
Submit Full Application (e-APR) – Upload documents (police certificates, medicals, proof of funds, etc.) within 60 days.
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!
