Canada has been one of the most popular immigration destinations, particularly for Indians. In this post, we'll go through the five easiest ways to immigrate to Canada, whether you're a student, a worker, or a family member.
Here's what you'll need to know:
1. EXPRESS ENTRY PROGRAM
It is the fastest pathway to enter Canada. It is a program to direct PR applications for three economic class immigration programs:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
- The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
- The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
It is a points-based system that takes into account several factors such as language, education, work experience, age, job offer, and flexibility. You will be awarded points based on a complex ranking system (CRS).
Applicants who score at or above the cut-off receive an invitation to apply (ITA). Although a job offer is not required, it does enhance your score. Provincial governments benefit from expedited entry as well. A provincial nomination also boosts your score. To begin, you must first create an Express Entry profile, after which you must provide the necessary documents as given below:
- Passport or travel document.
- Language test results
- Educational credential assessment report
- Provincial nomination (if you have one)
If you have a written employment offer from a Canadian employer, proof of work experience, and a certificate of certification in a trade profession issued by a Canadian province or territory, all of these items are required (if you have one).
Proof of funds
If your Express Entry profile is approved, you will be added to the Express Entry pool of candidates wherein you’ll be ranked as per your profile. Candidates with the best scores in this pool will be invited to apply. You will have nearly 90 days or 3 months to file your permanent residency application.
2.PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM
It is mostly for applicants who wish to reside in a certain province or region. To contribute to the economy of a given province or region, they must have the necessary skills, education, and job experience.
Provinces have their own immigration policies aimed towards certain demographics, referred to as "streams." A province may target students, businesspeople, or skilled employees and so on as per the requirements.
You can apply either on paper or through the online Express Entry application process.
One option to apply for nomination under the Express Entry procedure is to contact a province directly. If your province has nominated you, establish an Express Entry profile or edit an existing one to reflect your nomination. Alternatively, you can include your preferred provinces in your Express Entry profile. You can apply to their Express Entry stream if you receive a "notice of interest."
In any instance, you must meet the province's eligibility standards and submit an Express Entry profile. If you are invited to apply, you can do so through IRCC.
Provinces or territories that provide PNP are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Yukon.
Keep in mind that Quebec does not have a provincial nominee program. It has its own immigration regulations, such as Quebec-selected skilled employees. To do so, you must apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate from the Quebec government. If you receive the certificate, you can apply for permanent residency with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
3. FAMILY SPONSORSHIP
