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!
