Immigration Services
Express Entry
The Express Entry system is one of the fastest and most popular ways for skilled workers to immigrate to Canada. It manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. Applicants are assessed based on their skills, work experience, language ability, and other factors. The highest-ranking candidates in the Express Entry pool are invited to apply for permanent residence.
Family Sponsorship
Family sponsorship allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their relatives to come to Canada. This includes spouses, common-law partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents. The process involves submitting a sponsorship application and ensuring that both the sponsor and the applicant meet eligibility requirements. Successful sponsorship helps families reunite and build a new life together in Canada.
Provincial Nomination
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and settle in a specific province. Each province has its own nomination guidelines tailored to meet its economic and labor market needs. Nominees receive additional points under the Express Entry system, significantly improving their chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residence.
Business Immigration
Business immigration programs are designed to attract individuals with business experience and investment capital. These programs aim to promote economic development and create jobs in Canada. Applicants can choose from several streams, such as the Start-Up Visa Program, the Self-Employed Persons Program, and various provincial entrepreneur and investor programs.
Owner-Operator of Business
The Owner-Operator program allows foreign entrepreneurs to purchase and operate a business in Canada. This pathway offers an opportunity to gain work experience in Canada, which can later support an application for permanent residence. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to manage the business and contribute to the Canadian economy.
Temporary Residence
Work Permit Visa
A work permit visa allows foreign nationals to work in Canada for a specified period. There are various types of work permits, including employer-specific permits and open work permits. Applicants typically need a job offer from a Canadian employer, who may need to obtain a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to demonstrate that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively impact the Canadian labor market.
Studying in Canada
Canada is home to many world-renowned universities and colleges, attracting international students from around the globe. A study permit allows students to live and study in Canada for the duration of their program. Students can also work part-time during their studies and may be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) upon completion of their program, providing a pathway to permanent residence.
Permanent Residence
Permanent Resident Documents
Permanent residents in Canada must hold valid permanent resident documents, such as a Permanent Resident Card, which serves as proof of their status. These documents are necessary for travel and re-entry into Canada and must be renewed periodically.
Citizenship
Becoming a Canadian citizen is the final step in the immigration journey. Permanent residents can apply for citizenship after meeting residency requirements and passing a citizenship test. Canadian citizenship offers numerous benefits, including the right to vote, access to a Canadian passport, and protection under Canadian law.
