Navigating the Express Entry system is a pivotal step in your journey to becoming a permanent resident in Canada. At PL Immigration, we understand the importance of staying informed about the process. Those who rank as top candidates in the Express Entry pool receive an exclusive Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canada’s permanent residence. Typically, the Canadian government sends out these coveted ITAs biweekly.
Upon securing an ITA, your next move is to compile and submit a full permanent residence application to the authority at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Our extensive and detailed guide on PL Immigration’s website is your one-stop resource for all the essential information concerning ITAs.
In our guide, we aim to empower you with knowledge about the Express Entry process, providing tips on how to enhance your profile to increase your chances of receiving an ITA. We explain the critical steps to take post-ITA to ensure a seamless and efficient application process for permanent residency.

When aspiring immigrants to Canada successfully enter the Express Entry system, a significant milestone they await is receiving the coveted Invitation To Apply (ITA), a pivotal step administered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This key document signifies that candidates within the Express Entry pool have been earmarked for the opportunity to apply for Canadian permanent residency.
PL Immigration clarifies that an ITA is distinctly separate from the pre-requisite of meeting the conditions necessary to be considered for the Express Entry pool. It’s also important not to confuse an ITA with an employment offer from a Canadian business or a provincial nomination; both of which are alternate pathways to enhancing one’s immigration profile.
The issuance of an ITA marks a candidate’s transition from potential candidate to one actively being considered for immigration. During the selection process, IRCC conducts scheduled draws from the pool of applicants, prioritizing those who have expressed a strong interest in contributing to Canada’s diverse tapestry.
Each ITA is a personalized, electronically-issued document that reaches candidates directly through their established Express Entry profiles. This ensures that the immigration process remains streamlined and efficient – hallmarks of Canada’s progressive approach to welcoming new residents.
At PL Immigration, we encourage candidates to view an ITA as a golden ticket to a future in Canada, signifying that they are one step closer to their dream of establishing roots in one of the world’s most welcoming countries. With a clear understanding of the Express Entry system and the significance of an ITA, applicants are better positioned to navigate the complexities of immigration.

As a pathway for skilled professionals seeking to make Canada their new home, the Express Entry system is the gateway to potential immigration. To be considered for this program, one must first satisfy the criteria of one of Canada’s key federal economic immigration programs, thus becoming part of the Express Entry candidate pool. PL Immigration provides guidance through this highly competitive process to elevate your chances of a successful application.
Eligible individuals are then evaluated based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), a meticulously designed point system which allocates up to 1,200 points to an applicant. This assessment framework by PL Immigration takes into consideration various factors such as:
The Canadian government extends Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to aspirants in the Express Entry pool based on their CRS score. The selection threshold for candidates to receive an ITA is determined during periodic draws, which feature a minimum CRS cut-off score.
PL Immigration meticulously paves the way for candidates, ensuring they are well informed about these draws and will promptly notify any candidates who are encouraged to proceed with their permanent residence application.
Upon receipt of an ITA for Canadian permanent residency, PL Immigration advises candidates that their initial profile details will be retained for a period of 60 days post-issuance. During this critical timeframe, individuals are expected to finalize and submit a complete application, along with all the requisite documentation.
Given the narrow submission window, PL Immigration strongly recommends that candidates take proactive steps to amass necessary documents and verify their accuracy ahead of receiving an ITA. Should the 60-day period lapse without submission, the ITA becomes invalid, necessitating the individual to reapply and reenter the Express Entry system.
Applicants can proceed with their submission only after fulfilling the comprehensive checklist requirements. The act of submitting the finalized application signifies the candidate’s acceptance of the ITA. PL Immigration ensures an immediate Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) following the submission of your application.
The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC conducts an assessment of both the completeness and the eligibility of the application, with a target to resolve the process within six months of application receipt.
Applicants considering the FSTP option should note that they must plan to settle outside of Quebec, as this province manages its own skilled worker immigration program. If seeking migration to Quebec, individuals should refer to the queb for detailed information on their specialized immigration protocol.
Eligibility for the FSTP also opens potential eligibility for categorical Express Entry draws. Compliance with eligibility standards for these draws may enhance the prospect of receiving an invitation for permanent residency in Canada.
For professional assistance in navigating the complexities of Canadian immigration through the Federal Skilled Trades Program, PL Immigration provides expert guidance. Our aim is to facilitate a smooth transition to your new life in Canada.

Failure to act on an ITA within the allotted 60 days results in its expiration and removal from the system. Candidates who neither decline the ITA nor submit a completed application within this timeframe will encounter an expired ITA. Those still desiring to pursue the path to Canada must prepare a new Express Entry profile and gain acceptance into the pool once more, ensuring they fulfill the essential criteria.
Declining an ITA
Should candidates choose to decline the ITA, PL Immigration will reassign their profiles into the Express Entry pool, where they may be reconsidered for subsequent invitation rounds, conditional upon meeting the federal economic immigration program’s baseline criteria.
There is no certainty of receiving a further ITA; however, a decision to decline does not negatively influence the chances of future invitations. Candidates can decline without detriment or prejudice to their potential selection in upcoming draws.
