Received an ITA? Here’s What to Do Next
Getting an Invitation to Apply is a big deal—but it’s only the beginning. If you’ve received an ITA, you need to submit a **complete and truthful application for permanent residence**. This includes uploading all required documents and ensuring that every detail you provide is accurate.
Here’s what you need to keep in mind:
– Providing false information, even unintentionally, can result in misrepresentation. - Penalties can be serious – Misrepresentation may lead to a five-year ban from applying for immigration to Canada.
- You’re responsible – Whether you or someone else made a mistake, IRCC holds the applicant accountable for the accuracy of the application.
The bottom line? Take your time, double-check everything, and if needed, consult a licensed immigration consultant or lawyer to help you navigate the process.
Why This Matters for Express Entry Hopefuls
The high CRS cut-off of 742 in the latest PNP draw shows that competition remains fierce, especially among candidates without a provincial nomination. However, there are still several pathways to improve your chances:
- Consider applying through a PNP like the Manitoba PNP
- Gain more work experience or improve your language test scores
- Look into category-based draws that target specific occupations or language abilities
With Express Entry evolving to align with Canada’s economic needs, staying informed and proactive is your best strategy.

The June 24th draw is another reminder that Canada’s immigration landscape is dynamic and full of opportunities for skilled workers—especially those with provincial nominations. With almost 39,000 ITAs already issued this year, there’s a good chance your invitation could be just around the corner.
