The immigration application process under the Quebec Skilled Worker Program or Regular Skilled Worker Program (according to the Government of Quebec) includes the five steps –
Step [1] – Education Credential Assessment (ECA): Applicant’s need it to show that their educational qualifications are equal to the Canadian Education system at every level. So, it is an important document and should be gotten first. The ECA is issued by the World Education Services that can be applied online.
Step [2] – IELTS Language Ability Report: The IELTS language ability report is one document through which you can not only showcase your language ability to immigration officers but also make a good impression on Canadian employers. This also gives you a healthy boost in your overall CRS score so we recommend you get as good in the language as possible. If you are having trouble with preparation for the IELTS exam, we can help you through our IELTS training sessions that are designed for helping immigration applicants get great scores with the least amount of training possible.
Step [3] – Submit Express Entry Application : After applicant have all important documents, they have to go online and submit their online application. The most important thing, while applying for Canada Immigration is to know that there are 3 major Canada immigration streams to choose from. These are:
We recommend you get to contact our immigration experts to know which fits your application the most. Make sure all the information you are submitting is complete and can be backed up by actual formal documents. The documents must also be submitted along with your immigration application.

This will ultimately decide whether you qualify for immigration or not and that is why we say take up our services to know your CRS score before you apply for the real thing. By doing this, you can get to know how much you score and also improve the score to bring it up to levels where you may get selected for immigration.
Step [5] – Improve your CRS Score: The first application is almost always below the required levels for successful immigration and that is why people are advised to improve their score by doing some of the following things:
Enhance your Language Score: This is one of the easiest ways to score highly in the CRS score, especially if you take up the training specially designed for IELTS. AandC Immigration gives clients complete IELTS training and makes sure they get the highest points possible
Learn French: Having a basic knowledge of French will give your application a boost. You only need to show that you can speak the language to get the extra points so don’t worry about being very good at it.
Improve Educational Qualifications: The Master’s degree is your best bet for getting a high score in this area and getting one isn’t that hard. It also makes you a better candidate for getting a job in Canada. You can also go for a PG diploma, which will not get you as many points as the degree but will definitely improve your CRS score.
Get more Work Experience: Ideally, having 3+ years of work experience gets you good scores in this factor. Keep working while your PR application is being processed so that you can show higher work experience than when you applied.
Step [6] – Apply for PNP: If the participant is not able to get a high score in the CRS system, then Provincial Nomination Programs is the next best option. Be sure to check out the application particulars of the province you are applying to before submitting the actual application. Better yet, get in touch with our immigration experts who can give you inside information on the province and whether it will be a good fit for you.
Step [7] – Wait for Express Entry Draw: After completing the application procedure, you have to wait for the Express Entry draws. If your CRS score is above the cut-off, then you will get an Invitation to Apply from the IRCC. The Express Entry draws have usually been held once every 15 days. But you can expect them to take place much sooner thanks to the new policy which invites more applicants for immigration.
