I was informed by an immigration advisor that there are differences between applying for Express entry inside Canada and outside Canada, both in requirements and processing time. However, I haven't been able to find any information about this online anywhere?
Does anyone know the differences?
Hi,
The only major difference is with respect to the selected program/stream. Because, under Express Entry System there are 3 main streams: FSW, CEC and FST.
1) If you never applied/traveled to Canada and looking forward to apply for Canadian Immigration, then only two stream options will be applicable to you; FSW or FST !.
2) On the other hand, If you're working and currently staying in Canada, then you may be eligible for FSW or CEC category.
So, it mainly depends on your past travel history to Canada and the type of work experience obtained in last 3 to 10 years.
Hope this may clear your doubts
