How to submit express entry application to get invitation

Hello,


I am new here and have been in canada since 2015.

Started with a study permit and college, got a post graduate work permit after that, started working full time in 2018 and now i want to apply for PR. I did create a profile on cic with all details about me but i don't see an actual application for PR to submit. Am i doing something wrong? Or is it the way it's supposed to be?

I'd really appreciate any type of help.
