What happens after I receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) through Express Entry?

Receiving an Invitation to Apply means you can submit a full application for permanent residence. You have 60 days from the date of the invitation to upload all required documents and pay the fees.

If you do not apply (and do not decline) within 60 days, the invitation expires and your profile is removed from the pool. You would then need to create a new profile and re-enter to be considered again, so it is critical to have your documents ready in advance.
