Very Well organized structure of Documentation process, happy to choose ISA, last but not the least Thanks a lot to Rewa for managing case so well, BEST WISHES.
- Kamal Dev Shukla

So far we had a wonderful experience. I also feel that we would have a good experience further till closure. I must say that there will always be such people who would find some fault in every organization and scare you. We need to Trust someone. Also no one on earth can give 100% Guarantee for anything. Currently I am working on IETLS preparation and I solely believe that it's my preparation which would help me score High. ISA can definitely help, however it's all up to the student. Anyways I am happy overall with the process. Everything is Formal and documented all the time which is good. This gives a feeling of assurance that everything is on Paper all the time. Good work and All the Best.
- Amit Khanna

A big thanks to Rewa and Team, they have always informed for Provinces and their opening, and because of her only, I could file on time, got ITA at 353 Points.
- Bhavya Jain

The back end staff is very courteous (I have mainly interacted with Priya, Bibhash and Monika). My interaction with the staff post IELTS has been good and everything related to documentation has been going very well, however during the first presentation we will get a job from here itself and we don’t have to go there for that. However, we need to go out first and search for the job there. I have not heard about anyone from ISA or within my circle who did not have to go to Canada/Australia to get a job. Also, as soon as a person books IELTS exam, he should be asked to get all the documents one by one (from university, office etc.) to save time.
- Lohit Jagia

Would like to thank documentation team, isa global contacts and expert for helping in application Process and arranging IELTS session.

	What is Canadian Express Entry program and how does it work?
	Express Entry is a newly introduced method of managing applications for the existing immigration programs, which are The Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), The Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP) and The Canadian Experience Class Program (CEC). Via the Express Entry System, aspiring applicants, who fulfill all the requirements for any of the Express Entry Programs, will be put in the Express Entry Pool. And after this process, the Governments, the Provincial and the territorial administrations, and the Canadian Recruiters or Firms will be able to select individuals from the Express Entry Pool. The Express Entry along with the Canadian Job Bank will let qualified recruiters or the firm to develop a link with the qualified Nationals from abroad in the best interest of both the parties, making integration as smooth as possible after the Aspiring candidates land in Canada. And, ITA or the invitation to Apply will be given to those with the Maximum required scores in the Job Bank.

	When was the Canadian Express Entry Program launched?
	The Canadian Express Entry Program was launched in January 2015, with a view of attracting highly-skilled immigrants from abroad.

	How does the Express Entry Program benefits Canada?
	Canadian Government is reforming its Economic Immigration to guarantee that it's Economic and the labour market needs are met. Ottawa is actively reorganizing its economic structure to ensure that all the economic as well as the labour requirements are fulfilled. As the Express Entry is the key part of this process, their target is to make the Express Entry arrangements as swift and flexible as possible. Express Entry invites only the eligible people. The people that Canada needs. This application process takes less time which attracts the best skilled immigrants, get them working for Canada and contributing towards their economy faster.

	Which immigration programs will be covered in the Express Entry Schemes?
	The three programs that will be covered under this scheme will be: The Federal Skilled Worker Program; The Federal Skilled Trades Program; The Canadian Experience Class Program. The Canadian Provincial Program Many provinces & territories of Canada will also be in a state to employ aspiring candidates from the Canadian Express Entry system, as a part of the PNP or the Provincial Nominee Program, to ensure that the requirements of the Canadian labour market are met.

	Will there be a dedicated quota on the number of candidates for the Express Entry Pool?
	There is no exact limit of the candidates in the Express Entry Pool. The result of the draw from the pool totally depends on the candidates with outstanding skills and experience from which the employers, province or territories can select to meet their requirements. Express Entry helps the Canadian Government to create an inventory of highly skilled immigrants who will be selected by the Canadian Employers when they cannot find any suitable Canadian Citizen or the Permanent Residents to fill up the job requirements. Since, the processing is faster, the Canadian Employers and the Express Entry Candidates will be benefitted. Note: The region of Quebec does not have an Express Entry Program. They select their own skilled and high-quality candidates. They have a different program for immigration in the Quebec region.

	What is a Job Bank's role in the Express Entry Program?
	Canadian Job Bank is an integral part of the Express Entry Program. Job Bank along with the Express Entry Program lets the Canadian Employer find the suitable and highly-skilled candidate for their companies. A Canadian Employers must make every effort to find the suitable candidate from Canada itself but if he doesn't find one, then only can he seek a skilled immigrant through the Express Entry Program.

	Does the Express Entry Pool guarantee an ITA for the PR Visa?
	No. The Express Entry Pool does not guarantee an Invitation to Apply for the Permanent Resident Visa. Your work Experience and English language test make you eligible for receiving an ITA. Once you get an ITA you get 90 days' time to submit all the pending documents and an online application for the Canadian Permanent Resident Visa. The ITA tells you which one of the three programs are you eligible for. The Citizenship and immigration Canada (CIC) will process your application further and if all goes well, you will receive your Visa in less than six months.

	What is the expiration date of the Express Entry Profile?
	The Canadian Express Entry Profile is valid for one year from the date of the submission of a candidate's profile to CIC. But if a candidate does not get an ITA or the Invitation to Apply for his Permanent Resident Visa, and they still want to come to Canada via Express Entry Program then they must create a new Express Entry Profile. If they still meet the basic requirement, then they are allotted a new Express Entry Profile Number.

	How long is the ITA or the Invitation to Apply valid for?
	The ITA or the Invitation to Apply has a validity of 90 days. After 90 days, the ITA expires automatically. So, a candidate has 90 days to submit all the required documents and file the complete application for the Canadian Permanent Resident Visa.

	Do I need to get an ECA or the Education Credential Assessment done for the Express Entry?
	An ECA is required for the Express Entry Candidates who want to be considered for the invitation under the Federal Skilled Workers Program.
