Economic Class Immigration Programs

Canada offers several immigration pathways for skilled individuals to become permanent residents under the Economic Class. If you have already received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) under the Express Entry system or a Provincial Nomination, El Camino Immigration Services can assist you in professionally preparing and submitting your permanent residence application.

❗ Please note: We do not create Express Entry profiles or apply for provincial nominations. We begin assisting clients only after they have received an ITA or a Nomination Certificate.

Express Entry – Post-Invitation Support

Express Entry is Canada’s selection system for skilled workers, managing applications under the following federal programs:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Once you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA), you must submit your application for permanent residence within 60 days. It is critical to ensure accuracy and completeness at this stage.

El Camino Immigration Services provides:

Full review and verification of supporting documents
Application preparation and submission to IRCC
Representation throughout the processing period
Support with medicals, biometrics, and document updates

Processing Time (post-submission): 6 to 8 months

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – After Nomination

Canada’s provinces and territories nominate individuals who meet local labour market needs. If you have already received a Provincial Nomination, either through an Express Entry-aligned stream or a base (paper-based) stream, we can help you apply to IRCC for permanent residence.

Submission of your permanent residence application to IRCC
Direct communication with immigration authorities
