If you’re a skilled worker looking to immigrate to Canada, Express Entry is the fastest and most efficient pathway to Permanent Residency (PR). Whether you live in Calgary, reside in the UK, or are applying from Nigeria, Express Entry offers a streamlined system to bring qualified individuals and their families into Canada—based on merit, not luck.
At Gigera Law Services, we help you navigate every legal step of the Express Entry process. From profile creation and document preparation to CRS score optimization and PR submission, our legal team ensures your application is strong, complete, and positioned for success.
Express Entry is an online immigration system managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). It is designed to assess, rank, and invite skilled foreign workers to apply for permanent residency based on a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score.
Applicants are entered into a pool and ranked according to key factors:
Age
Education
Language proficiency (English and/or French)
Work experience
Adaptability
Job offer or provincial nomination (if applicable)
High-ranking candidates receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency during regular government draws.
You may be eligible to apply under one of these immigration streams:
Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) – For individuals with foreign work experience and education
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) – For skilled trade workers with Canadian or foreign experience
Canadian Experience Class (CEC) – For individuals with recent Canadian work experience
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – If you receive a nomination from a Canadian province (adds 600 CRS points)
We help you determine the best stream, improve your CRS score, and prepare a bulletproof application.
