Our #ImmigrationCorner Free information session starts NOW!

Canada's Express Entry program remains popular among international skilled/economic immigrants who have the desire to call the country home.

In 2018, 13 Express Entry Draws have been announced & 39,700 candidates have so far been invited to become permanent residents. #CdnImm

If you are reading about Canada's Express Entry program for the first time, our previous information sessions have provided all the information you need to know about requirements, eligibility, cost & studying in Canada. Kindly visit bit.ly/2oWDjQG for the compiled info.

Out of the 13 Express Entry Draws announced in 2018, the lowest Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) used in inviting a candidate was 440 (on May 23, 2018) & the highest was 456 (on March 14, 2018).

A low CRS score has been a major hindrance for many candidates in the pool. #cdnimm

A low CRS means a low chance of receiving an Invitation To Apply (ITA), and one of the questions many candidates have always asked us is how to improve their CRS score.

Although there are many ways to improve a CRS score, provincial nominee programs are the most popular #cdnimm

Under the Express Entry sub-category of any provincial nominee program, eligible candidates with an existing Express Entry profile may receive up to 600 extra points to add to their existing CRS score. This would in no small way increase their chances of getting an ITA. #CdnImm

There are 10 Provinces in Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec & Saskatchewan)

All these provinces (except Quebec, with a different selection system) have a provincial nominee program #cdnImm

In addition to 10 provinces, there are also 3 territories (North West Territories, Nunavut & Yukon). North West Territories & Yukon have a provincial nominee program, while Nunavut has none

The provinces & territories also have different requirements for their programs #CdnImm

Below we present to you a summary of the provincial nominee programs available in the province and territories and a link to their application pages for candidates who want to apply by themselves.
