Foreign nationals seeking permanent residence through Express Entry can now complete a single web form to see their eligibility for all Express Entry-PNP streams. 

Obtaining a provincial nomination guarantees success in receiving an ITA for permanent residence through the Express Entry system, as it provides an additional 600 points under the CRS, as well as opening up eligibility for PNP draws. 

Well, navigating Canada’s 20+ enhanced PNPs used to be a time-consuming, manual process, requiring hiring a representative or reading hundreds of pages of PDFs. 

However, with the online tool CanadaVisa+ (CV+), you can assess your eligibility for all enhanced PNP streams at once in ten minutes or less. 

And if you don’t qualify for an enhanced PNP, you can use CV+ to plan next steps for how to qualify. 

Using CV+ To Assess Your Eligibility 

You can access CanadaVisa+ in any web browser, on desktop or mobile, and complete a web form for your assessment. 

1. Navigate To The CanadaVisa+ Assessment Form And Click The “Start Free Assessment Now” Button. 
2. Follow The Steps To Complete The Assessment Form

Most questions are straightforward and need no specialised knowledge. 

However, categorising your work experience might be a bit trickier. 

You have to classify your jobs using the Canadian federal government’s National Occupation Classification (NOC) system. 

The NOC assigns a unique 5-digit code to each profession based on the roles & responsibilities you performed, and not on your job title. 

To find the correct NOC for your work experience while using the assessment form, use the following steps:

  • Enter your occupation title into the form space provided when adding your work experience. Relevant NOC titles as well as codes will appear in the drop-down menu. However, if you cannot find your exact job title, try alternate titles, as occupation names can vary within the NOC system.
  • Once you find an occupation that might be a match to your work experience, you can click on the “see duties“ link below. This will trigger a pop-up with a complete description of the occupation, allowing you to verify the job’s duties and compare them to your own work experience.

If most of the main duties conform to the duties that you performed, then you have likely found the correct NOC for your work experience.

3. Upon Completion Of The Form, Enter Your Email Address And Relevant Information To View Your Full Results

Signing up will help you save your profile and update it accordingly. It will also allow CV+ to show how your immigration outlook changes over time, suggest ways you can increase your eligibility, & keep you updated on relevant immigration developments.

4. Once You Have Signed Up, Navigate To The“Provincial Nominations” Tab At The Top Of The Page.

CV+ will display a complete list of enhanced Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) programs and show you your eligibility for each one. You can also filter by province and consideration “type.”

How Can You Build Eligibility For Enhanced Pathways Using CV+?

If you are not currently eligible for any enhanced PNP pathways, you can use CV+ to better guide you on how to build eligibility for a specific pathway as well. 

You can browse all the PNP streams and drill down into each stream to see which eligibility criteria you’re lacking, allowing you to plan how to build necessary eligibility, for instance, through increasing your language score and/ or gaining additional work experience or education. 

It is important to note that whenever you update your profile, CV+ automatically re-runs your assessment, so you always see your most up-to-date eligibility for enhanced PNP streams.
