How do you fill out the online forms?
The online Canada Express Entry application is made up of two sections: The standard form and the English language form. Take a look at the section prompts on each form to find out what information you need to provide.
The standard form will ask you for your personal details, education, work experience, and more. You’ll also need to submit your resume if you have one and attach any additional supporting documents.
You’ll also need to fill out the English language form, which asks certain questions that are not in the standard form. Your answers will be used by Canadian immigration officials to determine if you meet the appropriate language requirements for Canada Express Entry. If you don’t meet the required language level, then it’s possible that your application will be rejected.
