Express Entry

There are 2 ways to apply to the online Express Entry process:

1. Contact the province or territory of your choice and apply for a nomination under an Express Entry stream. If the province or territory agrees to nominate you, you create an Express Entry profile (or update your profile if you already have one) and show that you have been nominated.

2. Create an Express Entry profile and show the provinces and territories of your choice. if a province or territory sends a “notification of interest” to your account, you can contact them directly. If you’re nominated, the province will offer it to you through your account, and you can then accept it electronically.

In both cases, you must meet the eligibility requirements of the province or territory. And, you must submit an Express Entry profile and show that you meet the minimum criteria, including being eligible for one of the immigration programs it covers.

To be eligible for Express Entry, you must prove your English or French language ability:

• Take an approved language test.

• Get the minimum grades required by your program.

• Include the results when you complete your Express Entry profile.
