Application Process and Timelines
Once someone receives an invitation, they have 60 days to submit their full application for permanent residence. The government usually takes up to six months to process a completed application.
Candidates must make sure their Express Entry profile stays active. A profile stays valid for one year. If someone doesn’t receive an invitation within that time, they can submit a new profile. The new submission gets a fresh timestamp and may affect selection based on Canada’s tie-breaking rule.
