An ITA – Invitation to Apply – is an important milestone: an invitation to submit a full permanent residence application after being selected from the Express Entry pool. An ITA opens the formal application stage. This article explains this step.
ITA Canada Invitation to Apply là gì
An ITA (Invitation to Apply) is a notice from IRCC inviting a candidate in the Express Entry pool to submit a complete permanent residence application, after being selected in a draw. Receiving an ITA means you have cleared the ranking stage.
An ITA is not yet approval for permanent residence; it is the gateway to submitting the detailed application. After receiving an ITA, applicants have a set deadline to submit the complete electronic application (e-APR).
What to do after receiving an ITA
After receiving an ITA, applicants need to complete and submit the permanent residence application within the deadline, including documents proving the information already declared (experience, language, education, personal details) along with a police certificate and medical exam as required.
Since the deadline for submission after an ITA is limited, preparing documents in advance is very important. The submitted application must match the information declared in your profile, otherwise it may be refused.
Important Notes
Information declared in the profile must be truthful and supported by documentation. If reality differs from what was declared (for example, points or experience not being sufficient as claimed), the application risks refusal even after receiving an ITA.
Since deadlines and document requirements can be updated, you should check the current guidance as soon as you receive the ITA and submit a complete, consistent application.
