Express Entry program is Canadas most popular immigration program and it is the fastest immigration pathway to Canada PR Visa. If you can meet the minimum requirements of the Express Entry program, then your profile is submitted into the Express Entry pool. Depending on your CRS score and the latest CRS score cut-off, you can get an ITA Invitation to Apply for Canada PR Visa.
The ITA is an automatically generated response for Express Entry applicants through their online accounts. With an ITA, you can submit your application for a Canada PR Visa to the IRCC.
It is important to note that getting an ITA does not guarantee that you will get your PR Visa. Once you have submitted your application, it will be assessed by the IRCC and on a successful evaluation of your application, you will get your Canada permanent residency.
To get an ITA through the Express Entry program, you have to meet two criteria:
First, you must be eligible to register under any one of the three immigration programs managed by the Express Entry program:

In case you do not reply to an ITA in 60 days, ITA will expire and your profile will no longer be in the express entry pool.
