60 day deadline to submit an electronic application for permanent residence under the Express Entry

On June 26, 2018, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada updated the deadline to submit an electronic application for permanent residence under the Express Entry system from 90 calendar days to 60 calendar days.

Express Entry applicants are required to submit a complete electronic application for permanent residence within 60 calendar days of being issued an invitation to apply. The application and all supporting documents is to be submitted electronically through the applicant’s online account.

Applicants invited to apply before June 26, 2018 have still 90 calendar days to complete and submit their application.

The revised deadline reinforces the importance of timely preparing the supporting documentation for the application for permanent residence under the Express Entry system.
