Helping You Make Smart
Immigration Decisions

Express Entry is Canada's primary federal immigration system for skilled workers. It manages applications for three economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. Candidates are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and top-scoring candidates receive invitations to apply for permanent residency.

Processing times vary by program. IRCC currently estimates about 6–7 months for Express Entry applications, about 13 months for non-Express Entry Provincial Nominee Programs, about 18 months for spousal sponsorship when the spouse lives outside Canada (about 26 months inside Canada, outside Quebec), and about 28 months for parents and grandparents. Start-Up Visa processing is more than 10 years. These are IRCC estimates as of October 2026 and change often — see our processing times page for the latest figures.

Every service has a clear starting fee on our Services & Pricing page, and your full fee is set out in writing in your retainer agreement before any work begins, with no hidden costs. For fees of $1,000 or more you can pay in interest-free instalments, with no fees and no credit check. Government fees are separate.
