3. How do I calculate points for Express Entry?

The Government of Canada has an online tool to help you calculate the Comprehensive Ranking System Score. CRS is a point-based system used by the  Canadian Immigration Department to score and rank profiles in the Express Entry Pool. Some factors that the tool evaluates are: 

• Skills 

• Education 

• Work experience in language 

You can use this score to see if you have exceeded the minimum score required for the last invitation round.

4. How do I apply for a PR Card?

The Permanent Resident (PR) Card is official proof of your status as a permanent resident of Canada. As part of the immigration process, new permanent residents will automatically receive their card by mail when they first arrive in Canada. This is part of the immigration process and you do not need to apply for a PR card. As part of the process, the required documentation will be completed by the Canadian border authorities when they first land in Canada. No further action is required. It usually takes 3-4 months to receive your first PR card by mail. For the latest information on the schedule, you can check the current processing time on the government website.

5. How do I find a job in Canada?

Finding a job in a new country can be daunting, so be prepared with a Canadian resume and cover letter in advance. Keep in mind that most Canadian employers want to know if you are legally permitted to work in Canada. This is often a permanent resident (PR),  a work permit, an international student authorized to work in Canada, a spouse of an international student, or a Canadian citizen.
