Canada Express Entry Visa Consultant in Sri Lanka

A Canada Express Entry visa consultant checks which program you qualify under, calculates your CRS score, tells you what will raise it, and prepares your profile and permanent residence application so the documents match what IRCC asks for. At GIEC Global we also review reference letters, plan your language test and Educational Credential Assessment, and manage the 60-day deadline after an Invitation to Apply.

Not exactly. Express Entry is the online system Canada uses to select skilled workers for permanent residence. People often call it the Canada Express Entry visa or Canada PR visa, but what you receive at the end is a Confirmation of Permanent Residence, which lets you live and work anywhere in Canada.

Most applicants from Sri Lanka qualify through the Federal Skilled Worker Program. You need at least one year of continuous skilled work experience (TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3) in the last ten years, a language result of CLB 7 or higher, an Educational Credential Assessment, proof of settlement funds, and at least 67 points on the Federal Skilled Worker selection grid.

There are two different scores. You need 67 out of 100 on the Federal Skilled Worker grid to enter the pool. Once you are in, you are ranked by your CRS score out of 1,200, and there is no fixed pass mark. The cut-off changes with every draw and differs widely between draw types, so we compare your score with recent rounds for the categories you qualify for.

No. The Federal Skilled Worker Program and Canadian Experience Class do not require a job offer. Since 25 March 2025, a job offer no longer adds CRS points either, so your language scores, education and work experience carry the weight.

For English, IRCC accepts IELTS General Training, CELPIP-General and PTE Core. For French, it accepts TEF Canada and TCF Canada. IELTS Academic and the Duolingo English Test are not accepted for Express Entry. We confirm the current approved list with you before you book a test.

The minimum for the Federal Skilled Worker Program is CLB 7, which is 6.0 in each IELTS General Training band. To be competitive, aim for CLB 9 or higher: 8.0 in listening and 7.0 in reading, writing and speaking. Moving from CLB 7 to CLB 9 is one of the biggest increases you can make to a CRS score.

Creating a profile is free. For applications submitted on or after 30 April 2026, the government fee is CAD 1,590 per adult (CAD 990 processing fee plus the CAD 600 right of permanent residence fee) and CAD 270 per dependent child. Biometrics cost CAD 85 per person or CAD 170 per family. You should also budget for your language test, ECA, medical exam, police certificates and translations.

Our fee depends on how much of the work you want us to handle, from a document review to full representation. Your first assessment is free, and you receive a written quote before you commit to anything. Government fees are paid to IRCC and are separate from our service fee.

Under the amounts IRCC set in July 2025, a single applicant needs CAD 15,263, a couple CAD 19,001 and a family of four CAD 28,362. IRCC revises these figures every year. The money must be yours, readily available and not borrowed, and your bank letter must show the current balance and the six-month average. Proof of funds is not needed for the Canadian Experience Class.

To create a profile you need your passport, language test results and Educational Credential Assessment. After an invitation you also need employer reference letters showing duties, hours, salary and dates, police certificates for each country you have lived in for six months or more since age 18, an immigration medical exam, bank letters as proof of funds, and birth and marriage certificates where they apply.

IRCC aims to process most complete Express Entry applications within about six months of submission. Before that, allow time for your language test, Educational Credential Assessment and reference letters, and for the wait in the pool until you are invited. How long you wait depends on your CRS score and the draws being held.

There is no upper age limit. Age does affect your score: you earn the most CRS points for age between 20 and 29, the points reduce each year from 30, and from 45 you receive none for age. Older applicants can still succeed with strong language results, French ability or a provincial nomination.

The most reliable ways are retaking your language test to reach CLB 9 or higher, adding French, gaining another year of skilled work experience, completing a higher qualification, and having your spouse take a language test and ECA. A provincial nomination adds 600 points. In your assessment we show you which of these makes the most difference for your profile.

As well as general and program-specific rounds, IRCC holds draws for candidates with particular strengths, such as French-language ability or work experience in healthcare and skilled trades. In 2026 a large share of invitations has gone to candidates with Canadian work experience, French ability or a provincial nomination, so we check which route is realistic for you before you spend money on tests and fees.

Yes. Nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers can qualify under the Federal Skilled Worker Program like any other skilled occupation, and Canada also holds category-based draws for healthcare occupations. Immigration and professional licensing are separate: to practise in Canada you must also register with the regulator in your province. We check which draw categories your experience fits.

Yes. You can include your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children under 22 in the same application, and they receive permanent residence with you. Your partner's education, language results and Canadian experience can also add points to your CRS score.

No. Only IRCC decides who is invited and whose application is approved, and using a consultant does not give your file special treatment. Be careful with any Canada visa agency that promises a guaranteed result. What we can do is tell you where you stand and submit a complete, accurate application.

Yes. You can create your own profile on the IRCC website, and Canada does not require you to use a representative. People come to a Canada PR consultant when they want their points checked properly, their work experience matched to the right NOC code, and their documents reviewed before a deadline that cannot be extended.

Your Express Entry profile expires after 12 months, and you can create a new one if you still qualify. While you are in the pool we keep looking for ways to raise your score and for Provincial Nominee Programs that match your occupation, which can open a second route to Canada PR.
