Express Entry System
The Express Entry system is one of the most popular pathways to permanent residency for skilled workers. Through the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, or the Canadian Experience Class, candidates with relevant skills, education, and work experience can apply for permanent residency based on a points-based system. Once granted PR status, individuals can live and work in any province or territory of Canada.
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) allow provinces and territories to nominate individuals who have the skills, education, and work experience needed to contribute to the local economy. Each province and territory has its own PNP with specific streams tailored to meet their labor market needs. Successful nominees receive a provincial nomination, which can expedite their application for permanent residency through the Express Entry system or other immigration streams.
Family Sponsorship
Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor eligible family members for permanent residency in Canada. Family sponsorship programs allow individuals to sponsor spouses, partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents to live with them in Canada. Once sponsored, family members can settle in any province or territory of Canada and enjoy the benefits of permanent residency.
International Student Pathway
International students who graduate from Canadian universities or colleges may be eligible to apply for permanent residency through programs such as the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). By gaining Canadian work experience and meeting other eligibility criteria, international students can transition from temporary to permanent residency, allowing them to settle and build their careers in Canada.
Entrepreneur and Investor Programs
Entrepreneurs and investors looking to establish businesses or make significant investments in Canada may be eligible for immigration programs such as the Start-Up Visa Program, the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital (IIVC) Pilot Program, and various provincial entrepreneur streams. By creating jobs, stimulating economic growth, and contributing to the local economy, entrepreneurs and investors can secure permanent residency and settle in their chosen province or territory.
