Factors that increase your chance to receive Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the Express Entry Program
Securing an ITA for Canada Permanent Residency (PR) requires more than just meeting the 67-point FSWP threshold; it demands a strategically optimized Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. The following factors significantly enhance your competitiveness in the Express Entry pool, especially for applicants from India:
Provincial Nomination (PNP)
Our experts analyse PNPs relevant to your profile (e.g., OINP, SINP) and employment sector to secure this critical nomination.
French Language Proficiency
Achieving NCLC 7 or higher opens up the French-Language Category Draws, offering a faster, lower-CRS pathway to PR. We advise on official French testing.
High English Language Scores
Targeting CLB 9 (IELTS: L 8.0, R 7.0, W 7.0, S 7.0) is crucial. This maximizes not just language points, but unlocks the highest possible transferability points when combined with education.
High Skilled Work Experience + Education
Combining 3+ years of foreign skilled work (TEER 0-3) with a Master's degree maximizes your overall human capital score, ensuring competitiveness in all types of draws.
Strategic Category Eligibility
We specialize in identifying if your job role (e.g., Tech, Healthcare) aligns with the Category-Based Draws and ensure your NOC classification is optimized for these targeted invitations.
