Express Entry is an online program that manages skilled workers applications for permanent residence to Canada under federal and certain provincial economic programs.
The program is a points-based immigration program for skilled workers who are looking to settle in Canada. Points are added based on skills, experience, Canadian employment status and provincial/territorial nomination. The chances of receiving an ITA (Invitation To Apply) are greater when your points are higher. Typically PR applications are processed in 6-12 months or fewer. Take advantage of this lucrative program with Ace Outsourcing. We can help you in Canadian migration while also planning out every step of your immigration process.
If you have a job offer lined up in Canada, you are more likely to be qualified but it isn’t the only way. Canada PR visa consultants try to help you highlight and emphasize your best qualities for a particular job or skill, and showcase you as good candidates for immigration.
