Good information is a great place to start.
Policies and eligibility criteria can change, so always confirm current program requirements with IRCC.
What is Express Entry? +
Express Entry is an online system used by IRCC to manage applications for the Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program, and Federal Skilled Trades Program. Eligible candidates enter a pool and may receive invitations to apply.
Is an Express Entry profile the same as a permanent residence application? +
No. A profile places an eligible candidate in the Express Entry pool. A permanent residence application follows only after receiving an invitation to apply.
Do I need a study permit to study in Canada? +
Many international students need a study permit. Requirements depend on the course, institution, nationality and any applicable exemptions. Check current IRCC guidance.
Can my family accompany me to Canada? +
Possibly, depending on the immigration or temporary-resident category and each family member’s eligibility. Additional applications and documentation may be required.
How much does an application cost? +
Government fees vary by program and can change. Professional service fees, where applicable, are separate. Check current IRCC fee schedules for up-to-date amounts.
How long will my application take? +
Processing times vary by category and circumstances. IRCC publishes estimates, which are not guarantees of a specific decision date.
Can Prime Way guarantee an approval? +
No. Canadian authorities determine application outcomes under applicable rules. No immigration service can guarantee that IRCC will approve an application.
How do I begin? +
Send a short enquiry explaining what you want to do in Canada, your broad circumstances, and how to reach you. Avoid sharing sensitive identity documents through the website form.
