Permanent Residence

A. Express Entry System

The Express Entry system is one of the fastest and most popular ways to obtain PR in Canada. It manages applications for three key programs:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): For skilled workers with foreign work experience.
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): For skilled tradespeople with qualifications in demand in Canada.
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC): For individuals with skilled Canadian work experience.

Applicants are ranked based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which evaluates factors like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. High-scoring candidates receive Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for PR.

B. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

Each Canadian province and territory (except Quebec) has its own PNP, tailored to meet regional labor market needs.

  • Benefits: PNPs offer an alternative pathway to PR, especially for candidates who may not meet Express Entry requirements.
  • Types of PNPs: Some streams are aligned with Express Entry, while others are paper-based and processed separately.
  • Examples: Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), and British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP).

C. Quebec Immigration Programs

Quebec has its own immigration system, separate from the federal programs. Key pathways include:

  • Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP): For skilled workers who wish to settle in Quebec.
  • Quebec Experience Program (PEQ): For individuals with work or study experience in Quebec.
  • Pilot programs

D. Start-Up Visa Program

For entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas, the Start-Up Visa Program provides a unique pathway to PR. Applicants must:

  • Have a qualifying business.
  • Secure a letter of support from a designated organization (e.g., venture capital funds or business incubators).
  • Meet language and financial requirements.

E. Agri-Food Pilot and Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP)

  • Agri-Food Pilot: Focused on agricultural and food production industries, targeting workers with experience in eligible occupations.
  • RNIP: A community-driven program for skilled workers who want to settle in rural or remote communities.

F. Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)

This program is designed for individuals looking to live and work in Canada’s Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island). Applicants require a job offer from a designated employer and must meet specific eligibility criteria.

G. Investor Immigration

Who is Eligible?

The Investor Immigration category is ideal for experienced business professionals who:

  • Have a high net worth (minimum requirements vary by program).
  • Are willing to make a significant investment in Canada’s economy.
  • Have managerial or entrepreneurial experience.
  • Meet language proficiency and other program-specific requirements.
