I am currently illegal in the us and i want to go to canada my country does not require a visa to go to canada and the border being shut down was only for land crossings i wanted to fly to canada and claim asylum their. i know asylum processing takes time and while i wait for my case to be decided i will be preparing my express entry profile by taking the Tec and Celpip and getting my eca's . Once i am done with that i should have enough points to qualify for an express entry invite with around 496 (assuming i get clb7 in french and get the bonus points) .



I want to know does my asylum claim make me ineligible to ajuste status? can i apply for express entry with an open asylum claim? If my asylum claim is denied will it make me inadmissible to canada for express entry and the pnp programs?



Tldr Want to know if i can apply for asylum and while i am waiting on the results can i submit my express entry profile

Already answered in your other thread. Not possible. You cannot qualify or apply for Express Entry from within Canada with either a pending or refused asylum claim.
