Why Hire Canadore Immigration for Express Entry?
Handling your Express Entry application is high-stakes. A single missing document or miscalculated work history can result in a rejected application and wasted months.
-
Fully Licensed Representation: Led by Surjeet Singh (RCIC-IRB), we have the advanced credentials required to handle your application legally and ethically.
-
Local Barrie Office: Conveniently located at 164 Innisfil St for easy document drop-offs and face-to-face strategy sessions.
-
Strategic CRS Boosting: We don't just submit forms; we actively audit your profile to find legitimate ways to increase your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score (e.g., OINP strategies, hidden work experience points).
-
Multilingual Support: We provide expert guidance in English, Punjabi, and Hindi.
Our Express Entry Services
We provide end-to-end representation for all three federal programs managed under Express Entry: the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).
How we help you win:
-
Profile Creation & Audit: We calculate your true CRS score and build an optimized profile.
-
Category-Based Selection Targeting: We position your profile to capitalize on IRCC's targeted draws for Healthcare, STEM, Trades, Transport, and French speakers.
-
Document Verification: We meticulously review your Educational Credential Assessments (ECA), language tests, and employment reference letters to ensure they meet strict IRCC standards.
-
Post-ITA Submission: Once you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA), we manage the flawless submission of your electronic Application for Permanent Residence (eAPR) within the strict 60-day deadline.
The Step-by-Step Process: How It Works
-
Eligibility Assessment: We review your age, education, language skills, and work history to confirm your eligibility for one of the three federal streams.
-
Pre-Profile Preparation: We guide you through obtaining your mandatory language tests and having your foreign education assessed (ECA).
-
Entering the Pool: We submit your profile to the Express Entry pool, where you are assigned a CRS score and become visible to provincial nomination programs.
-
Receiving an ITA: We monitor the draws. Once IRCC issues an Invitation to Apply based on your score or targeted category, the 60-day countdown begins.
-
Final Application Submission: We compile your medical exams, police certificates, proof of funds, and employment letters, submitting a perfect eAPR package.
Proof of Settlement Funds (2026 Requirements)
Unless you are applying under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or hold a valid, LMIA-supported job offer with authorization to work in Canada, you must prove you have sufficient unencumbered settlement funds:
-
1 Person: $15,263 CAD
-
2 People: $19,001 CAD
-
3 People: $23,360 CAD
-
4 People: $28,362 CAD
-
(+$3,955 CAD for each additional family member)
Key Rules for Proof of Funds: Funds must be liquid, debt-free, and held in your name (or a joint account with your spouse). IRCC requires official bank letters showing current balances, account history for the past 6 months, and proof that money was not recently borrowed to artificially inflate balances.
Realistic Processing Timelines
The Express Entry process operates in two distinct phases:
-
Pool Phase (Variable): Once your profile is submitted, it remains active in the pool for up to 12 months while you wait to receive an ITA during periodic draws.
-
eAPR Processing Phase (Standardized): Once you receive an ITA and submit your completed eAPR package within the mandatory 60-day deadline, IRCC’s service target is to process 80% of complete applications within 6 months.
Current 2026 Trends: Canadian Experience Class (CEC) files are routinely approved within 4 to 6 months, while Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) applications generally take 6 to 8 months due to foreign document verification and international background clearances.

-
Flawless eAPR Submission: We complete all online forms, write necessary submissions or affidavits, and finalize your submission within the strict 60-day window.
-
PR Approval & Landing Support: We handle all post-submission IRCC correspondence, track your background checks, and prepare you for final Permanent Resident status confirmation.
