Invitation to Apply for Canadian PR:-

How Invitation’s from Canadian Govt are received

Initially, all the candidates who are eligible to obtain ITA are placed in the Express Entry pool with minimum criteria of 67 points. After that CRS score is calculated in the poll and a cut-off is set by the government of Canada every 14-18 days and those candidates meeting the cut –off or are placed high in the cut –off list will receive an invitation to apply through PR.

How long ITA are valid

All Eligible candidates should note that the ITA’s issued are valid for 60 days and if a candidate failed to submit the required documents within this time frame then the validity won’t be extended. The candidate will now have to re-enter the express entry pool in order to be eligible for another try. So it’s in the best interest of the candidate to start accumulating all required documents once he/she enters the pool.

Misrepresentation during application or document submission 

In every manner, the information provided by the candidate should be correct, if any misrepresentation or false claims are found then there are severe penalties imposed. Any candidate going into the pool found guilty of presenting false information may be banned to re-enter for 5 years.

So one should ensure that all information provide is correct with required supporting documents that are genuine. If anyone else misrepresented on your behalf while submitting documents that will also not be exempted and you will have to bear the penalties.

How to accept an ITA

Once ITA is received it will be reflected for 60 days in the candidate’s profile. And all the required documents will have to be uploaded online, once all the documents are uploaded and submitted and acknowledgment will be issued automatically.

After documents are submitted IRCC will review it and aims to complete the process within 6 months of time.

What does Expiry of ITA mean

If any candidate does not submit the required documents or Decline then the ITA will automatically expire after 60 days, it will no longer be available in the candidate’s profile. After this, if any candidate still wants to immigrate then, in this case, he/she has to again enter the Express entry poll and has to prove his Eligibility so he/she can be considered in future rounds.

Can we decline an ITA

Yes, any candidate who wishes to decline the ITA can do so and after doing so his/her profile will again be placed into the Express Entry pool where he/she has to wait for future rounds of invitation in which they may or may not receive an ITA.
