Express Entry Invitation to Apply (ITA) Guidance

Navigating Your Express Entry Invitation to Apply (ITA)

Receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence through Express Entry is a significant milestone on your immigration journey. It means Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has selected you from the Express Entry pool, recognizing your potential to contribute to Canada. However, an ITA is just the beginning; the next 60 days are crucial for submitting a complete and accurate application.
