C-11

Applicants who obtain a work permit under the C-11 are potentially eligible to receive up to 250 additional points towards their Federal Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. These extra points may place them at the top of the pool of candidates for Express Entry and maximize the possibility for the candidate to receive an "Invitation to apply" for Canadian permanent residence within the Canadian Experience Class of the Express Entry stream. This makes the C-11 Work Permit a highly attractive option for business people. A Canadian Permanent Residency application under the Express Entry can be filed after 12 months of business operation in Canada
