Invitation To Apply for PR in Canada
An ITA is offered to a candidate in the Express Entry Pool who has been selected to apply for Immigration to Canada by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada via the Express Entry system, which is the main system that is used to offer permanent residency to immigrants.
Invitations to Apply are issued when the IRCC carries out a draw from the Express Entry pool once every 2 weeks. Candidates with the highest CRS Scores receive an ITA.
