The Canada Express Entry System was introduced in 2019 to give speed to the immigration process. With the help of the system, many people have migrated to Canada. It is a new practice adopted to deal with incoming applications of immigration to Canada. However, everyone is not so familiar with the system that has created some misconceptions. Let’s understand those myths or misconceptions about Express Entry Canada.
- Myth-Anyone can make a foray into the Express Entry Pool
Fact- The information is wrong. One can enter to the Express Entry Pool he is eligible for Canadian immigration by a federal economic migration.
It is one of the biggest myths that many migrants think of while applying visa via Express Entry. You will have to show your eligibility to qualify for Express Entry. Candidates have to show their eligibility for one of the existing federal economic immigration programs.
The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
The Canadian Experience Class
- Myth- One should have a job offer to qualify for Express Entry
Fact- It is not mandatory, but it can increase your chance to qualify the Express Entry system.
It is necessary to have a job offer under the new system, but it is indeed beneficial to have a job offer. Candidates under the Express Entry pool have got points and are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The total point is up to 1,200. Out of which 600 points are awarded to those who qualify for a job offer or have a provincial nomination certificate.
- Myth- Express Entry is the last resort to become a Canadian economic immigrant
Fact- Express Entry covers a large deal of economic immigration programs, but provinces are still able to pick immigrants outside the Express Entry system.
Canada’s provinces and territories are capable of selecting a certain number of immigrants based on their provincial market needs. Each province has a Provincial Nominee Program or PNP to select immigrants. Those who don’t qualify for economic immigration programs can get benefits from provinces.
- Myth- When you get invitation for permanent residence as an Express Entry candidate, you will get enough time to gather the required documents.
Fact- If you wait until you are issued an invitation to apply, you may have to struggle to collect the required documents and submit them within 60 days.
It is better to prepare beforehand instead of preparing later. Applicants have to follow the given deadline to submit all the documents for immigration. Incomplete documents can lead to rejection of your visa. All your efforts will go vain. Don’t let it happen with you.
- Myth- You don’t need to pass any language test.
Fact- All candidates have to qualify a standardized English or French language test that is recognized by the Canadian government.
The CIC has already confirmed that those who are interested in immigrating Canada have to demonstrate their language proficiency to get into the Express Entry pool. It is necessary to meet the language proficiency.
