Understanding the Canadian immigration system involves familiarizing yourself with the various pathways and requirements designed to facilitate entry into Canada.
Express Entry: This is a points-based system for skilled workers that evaluates candidates on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency.
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): Provinces and territories nominate individuals based on local labor market needs and specific criteria. Each province has its own requirements and streams, allowing for tailored immigration to meet regional demands.
Family Sponsorship: Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor close family members for immigration, allowing for family reunification.
Study Permits: International students can study in Canada and, upon graduation, may qualify for work permits and potential pathways to permanent residency.
Work Permits: These permits are for temporary work in Canada. Some work permit holders can transition to permanent residency through various programs.
