Immigrate to Canada

Express Entry is a points-based system used to manage applications for skilled workers. Applicants are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) based on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. The highest-ranking candidates are invited to apply for permanent residency.

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor certain family members, such as a spouse, common-law partner, dependent children, or parents and grandparents, to immigrate to Canada through the Family Sponsorship program.

Permanent residents can live, work, and study in Canada but do not have all the rights of citizens, such as the right to vote. After meeting residency requirements, permanent residents can apply for Canadian citizenship.

Ways to improve your CRS score include improving language test results, obtaining additional education, gaining more work experience, securing a job offer in Canada, or being nominated by a province through a Provincial Nominee Program.

Most immigration programs require proficiency in either English or French. You must take an approved language test, such as IELTS (for English) or TEF (for French), and submit the results as part of your application.

Yes, through the Express Entry system, it is possible to apply for permanent residency without a job offer, especially if you have a high CRS score. However, having a job offer can improve your score.

The PNP allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals for immigration based on their specific economic and labor market needs. Each province has its own criteria, and being nominated by a province can give you additional points in the Express Entry system.

Processing times vary depending on the immigration program and the applicant’s specific situation. For example, Express Entry applications are typically processed within six months, while other programs like family sponsorship may take longer.

To study in Canada, you must be accepted into a designated learning institution and obtain a study permit. After completing your studies, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residency through programs like the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and the Canadian Experience Class.
