How Long Does Express Entry Take?

An Express Entry profile is valid for up to one year. If a candidate doesn’t receive an ITA within that timeframe, they may submit a new profile—provided they still meet the eligibility criteria.

After receiving an ITA, applicants have 60 days to submit a complete PR application. The Canadian government aims to process PR applications within six months, beginning from the date a complete application is submitted.
