What to do?
Candidates must create an online profile on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website and provide information about their skills and qualifications. They are ranked in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and placed in a pool of candidates. The IRCC selects candidates from the pool through periodic draws and invites them to apply for permanent residency in Canada.
