It can often be a difficult process
to settle in a country such as Canada, which is not only different than India
culturally but also in terms of climate.
Canada is a one of the most popular
immigration destinations in the world and keeping up with the expectations of
foreign nationals, it provides and keeps introducing varied immigration
programs
Canada has both to offer – great
higher education and job opportunities.
Whether for higher studies or working
in Canada, you can find a suitable program. However, the majority of people
look to move to Canada as permanent residents that allows them to live and work
in Canada for a duration of 5 years.
It is however important that you
check your eligibility for the program you choose before you go ahead with the
application process. Let us now talk about some of the popular Canada
immigration programs.
Express entry
When you talk Canada immigration, you
cannot possibly escape the talk about Express Entry which is the prime identity
of Canada immigration. Introduced by the federal government of Canada in the
year 2015, Express Entry has become very popular in merely 5 years. It’s an
electronic application management system that has 3 famous economic immigration
programs, which are:
- Federal Skilled
Workers Program (FSWP)
- Federal
Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
Federal Skilled Workers Program is
the most popular amongst these programs that most of the foreign nationals
apply for.
Federal Skilled Trades Program is
similar to FSWP, however it grants Canada PR to candidates with specialization
in certain trades.
The Canadian Experience Class program
is meant for the candidates who have minimum one year of work experience in
Canada. Often, CEC candidates are given preference.
How does Express Entry work?
For the express entry, you have to
express your interest in the program by creating your express entry profile. In
this online profile, you are required to give information about your age,
education, language proficiency, work experience etc. With an express entry
profile, you get entry into the express entry pool where you will be ranked
basis your Comprehensive
Ranking System (CRS) score. If you rank amongst the
top-ranking candidates, you will be issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for
Canada PR. Once you receive your ITA, you have 90 days to submit the documents
for your Canada PR Visa application.
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Just like the Express Entry, provincial
nominee program is an important aspect of Canada
immigration. The federal government of Canada allows its provinces to nominate
candidates for Canada PR. This is done by way of provincial nomination which
earns candidates 600 CRS points. These points give such a boost to a
candidate’s CRS score that it guarantees an ITA for Canada PR.
The eligibility criteria for PNP
nomination varies from a province to another and each province has its own
points assessment grid for awarding points to candidates.
What do you need to be an ideal
candidate?
You will be an ideal candidate for
Canada PR, if you have:
- Canadian
work experience.
- received
a job offer from a Canadian employer.
- prior
connection to a Canadian province with respect to work or study.
- a
sibling or relative living already in Canada as a permanent resident or
citizen.
- already entered the express entry
pool with a good CRS score.
Quebec Skilled Workers Program
Quebec is an autonomous and French
speaking province of Canada that independently decides its immigration policy
and programs. If Quebec accepts you for Canada PR, the province will issue you
a Quebec Selection Certificate, with which you can apply for Canada PR with the
federal government. You can apply directly for experience class or business
immigration under the program.
For any of the immigration streams of
the program, you first need to apply with the government of Quebec and then
with the federal government after receiving your Quebec Selection Certificate.
Student’s pathway
For anyone studying in Canada to get
higher education, securing Canada permanent resident status is quite easy. Once
you complete your higher studies, you can start working in Canada on a
postgraduate work permit. With just one year of Canadian work experience, you
can apply for Canada
PR, which should be granted easily considering your Canadian study
and work experience.
Family sponsorship
Family
sponsorship is aimed at facilitating families to
live together in Canada, with special attention on spouse/partner and dependent
children. Being a permanent resident or citizen of Canada, you can sponsor your
dependents in the country.
You may be required to provide
multiple documents to prove a genuine relationship between you and your dependents.
A sponsor is required to be minimum 18 years old and take financial
responsibility of the sponsored person(s).
These are some of the popular ways of
settling in Canada as a permanent resident, which eventually opens the door for
your Canadian citizenship.
