How to Find Consultants for Canada Express Entry?

by avon Sharma Immigration Consultants Now that Express Entry (EE) program is in effect, all the discussions about what its selection criteria will be, how the whole process will actually work, etc. have died down, but a rush to get entry through Express Entry has begun among thousands of applicants.

In early December, Canada immigration department, CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) announced the selection criteria for Express Entry and the point distribution under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which will be used for the program. The CRS is quite different from other point distribution systems. Ever since its announcement it is giving headaches to applicants, as well as immigration consultants – especially because of the Skills Transferability factors, which include assessing applicants by combining two general factors such as educational qualification, work experience (Canadian, Non-Canadian), and Language ability in different combinations.

With all the complexity involved in Express Entry selection process, it becomes almost a necessity to hire a visa consultant who has expertise to provide proper guidance. Here are a few factors you should consider while hiring a visa consultant for immigration through Canada Express Entry.

Credentials

The first thing you need to check is whether the consultant is registered with Canada immigration and has the essential credentials. A person must be ICCRC (Immigration Consultant of Canada Regulatory Council) certified to provide immigration services for Canada.

Knowledge

The visa consultant you hire should have sound knowledge of not just Canada immigration system, but also on Express Entry program. For instance check whether the consultant knows which visa categories come under EE, how PNP (Provincial Nomination program) applicants can apply for it, how points are distributed under the CRS, how the EE online profile is created and submitted, how much time it will take to get visa approved, etc. Additionally, you can check their online profiles, blogs and articles written by them on the topic to find out how much they actually know about the EE program.

Experience

Visa consultants with ample experience in Canadian immigration should be preferred. Immigration policy of every country goes through some changes every once in a while due to changes in immigration trends and country’s needs. Experienced consultants know how the reforms bring changes in visa process, and easily capture insights about the upcoming trend. So, by opting for an experienced visa consultant you will not only ensure your visa approval, but also will be able to go through the process smoothly.

Canada Express Entry program doesn’t follow the first-in-first-out approach. In Express Entry, online profiles submitted by applicants are ranked against each other and the best ones are sent an invitation to apply for a one of the permanent residency visas that come under the EE program.Therefore, whether your consultant is offering you assistance in preparing your online profile is another crucial factor you should consider before making any decision. Since there are no deadlines for completing your profile, you should take time in making your profile look more credible. So, don’t rush or compromise on the research work included in finding a reliable visa consultant.
