Express Entry Canada
A skilled immigration pathway built around your profile
Express Entry is the federal system used to manage applications for several economic immigration programs. Atlas Immigration helps Iranian and international professionals understand the process, organize evidence and prepare a careful application.
How Express Entry works
Eligible candidates create an online profile describing factors such as education, official-language results, skilled work experience and age. The system assigns a Comprehensive Ranking System score. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada holds invitation rounds and selected candidates may then submit a complete application for permanent residence.
Express Entry manages the Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program and Federal Skilled Trades Program. Provincial nomination may also connect with Express Entry. Eligibility for one program does not guarantee an invitation, and scores, document requirements and invitation patterns can change.
Start with the official Government of Canada Express Entry guide, then compare your circumstances with current requirements.
What to prepare
- Approved language test results that remain valid
- Educational credential assessment when required
- Accurate skilled-work history and supporting records
- Identity, civil-status and travel documents
- Proof of funds when the applicable program requires it
- Police certificates, medical examinations and other post-invitation evidence
Consistency matters. Dates, job duties, family details and travel history should agree across the profile and supporting documents. Atlas can review the route that may fit, identify evidence gaps and assist with forms and submissions.
