The immigration officials in Canada have reduced the application window for seeking permanent resident to 60 days after the candidates received an ITA for Express Entry. Previously they received 90 days to submit such applications. Earlier in Nov 2016, the window was increased from 60 to 90 days, owing to the changes in Express Entry. From June 26th, 2018 as per the federal government announcement the window is now open for 60 days only.
Date of submitting the Application
All applicants who get the EE ITA before June 26th can avail 90 days for completing the applications.
All applicants who get the EE ITA after June 26th can avail only 60 days for submitting the applications. This window commences from the date of ITA of the candidate.
Significance of this Change
Candidates must keep their paperwork in order, to submit the application, quickly without losing time after receiving the ITA. This change also illustrates that candidates have comparatively less time to make their applications.
