Permanent residency
(Express Entry & PNP)

Express Entry is IRCC’s online system for managing applications under three federal economic programs: the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). You create a profile and receive a CRS score. IRCC holds regular draws and invites the highest-scoring candidates to apply for PR. We help you build the strongest profile and advise on improving your score before a draw.

CRS cutoffs vary with each draw and depend on the program. General draws have ranged from 470 to 550+, while category-based draws (e.g. healthcare, STEM, French language) are often lower. We calculate your current CRS score at your free consultation and advise on realistic ways to increase it — such as a language retest, ECA, or provincial nomination.

Each Canadian province and territory runs its own immigration streams targeting specific occupations or skills in demand locally. A provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points, virtually guaranteeing an ITA. Some PNP streams are enhanced (linked to Express Entry) while others are base streams with a separate application to IRCC. We’ll identify which provinces match your occupation and eligibility.

Express Entry applications are typically processed within 6 months of submitting after receiving an ITA. PNP applications may take longer depending on the province. The total timeline from profile creation to PR approval is usually 6 – 18 months. We keep you updated throughout so you always know where your application stands.

Yes. Your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children (under 22 and unmarried) can be included in your Express Entry or PNP application. They will receive PR status at the same time as you. Government fees apply per person. We handle the entire family application together.

Both. We work with Sri Lankans at every stage — whether you’re still in Colombo planning your move, or you’re already in Canada on a work or study permit looking to transition to PR. Everything is handled remotely via WhatsApp, email, and video calls.

IRCC charges CAD $1,365 per adult principal applicant (including the Right of Permanent Residence Fee of $515) and CAD $230 per dependent child. Spouse or partner fees are the same as the principal applicant. These are paid directly to the government and are separate from our service fee. We’ll provide a complete cost breakdown at your free consultation.

Yes. A prior PR refusal doesn’t permanently bar you. IRCC will provide reasons for the refusal, and we can help you address those issues before reapplying — whether that means improving your CRS score, gathering stronger documents, or switching to a different pathway. Book a consultation and we’ll review your case honestly.
