Explore Types of Immigration That You Can Choose For Migrating To Canada

Are you looking for different types of Immigration that you choose for migrating to Canada? Then this article might be useful as we are going to discuss various types of Immigration in detail so that you can easily select which type of immigration can be useful to you and apply for the Canada PR Visa.

Canada is a popular destination among the International Immigrants that is well-developed and offers permanent resident visas for foreign nationals to migrate for work. The number of applicants for the PR visa especially from India is growing at an astonishing rate.

Even though there are temporary work permit programs we are going to discuss only the most important categories here. Now let me share them with you:

1. Federal Skilled Worker:

Under this category, skilled professionals in specific occupations are assessed based on various factors but not limited to education, skills, work experience, language proficiency, etc and are granted only if the authorities are convinced about the ability of the individual to integrate into the Canadian society and become economically stable over a period of time.

To be eligible under this category one must satisfy at least one of the following criteria:

• Having A Full-Time Job Opportunity Offer From Any Canadian Company
• Already living in the country from the past 1 year as an International Student pursuing education in a Canadian University Or  working as a foreign worker
• Working experience of at least 1 year continuously in one of the occupations listed by the Immigration Authorities.

Apart from the above there, some other criteria include the language proficiency test scores, age, valid Education Credentials from a Canadian University or Education Credential Assessment, etc are important for scoring a good number of points because the immigration applications are processed based on the scores and competition.

2. Quebec Skilled Worker:

If you are planning to migrate or work in the Quebec province in Canada then you need to apply under this category. Even though Quebec is part of Canada, anyone should follow its rules which are different, apart from the regular immigration rules of other provinces in Canada.

Just like the Canadian Immigration Points System Quebec also invites individuals based on a points-based system. Once you have enough points and your application is assessed you will be issued a Quebec Selection Certificate that you can use for migration to Canada.

3. Provincial Nominee Program:

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) are the immigration programs where the individuals who are highly skilled in an occupation in demand and are nominated by the Provincial Governments Instead of the regular Federal Government Of Canada. Most importantly the immigration process would be much faster so you would be able to enter the country within a short time.

You need to obtain a Provincial Nomination Certificate by applying to the provincial government where you want to reside and the requirements might vary depending on the province you have applied for.

Once you obtain this Provincial Nomination Certificate you can proceed further and apply for a Canadian Permanent Resident Visa where your applications are processed with more priority than the regular applications resulting in the faster approvals.

4. Family Class Program:

Under this program, the Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents are provided with the ability to sponsor the Permanent Residency to their family members as a part of which they must signup a contract for supporting the family member for over the years of their living in Canada.

5. Business Immigration Program:

Just as every country encourages foreign investors to invest in the companies present in the country for economic development, Canada has a Business Immigration Program through which a Business Person can easily enter the country. Only high-networth individuals who are capable to invest and create more jobs are eligible. Under this category, there are three types

Immigration Investor:

Under this program, a businessman must have at least a networth of $800000 CAD and has to invest at least $400000 CAD which will be returned by the government later. The applicant must prove that he has managed business as specified by the immigration authorities of Canada.

Entrepreneur Program:

With less networth requirement of  $300000 CAD compared to the Immigration Investor category, people applying through the Entrepreneur program has to manage and invest in any Canadian Company creating employment.

Self Employment:

Any individual capable to support themselves through their occupation and skills in various categories such as business, farming, etc is eligible. Of course, they should prove their networth and prove that they are able to contribute to society in front of the Canadian Immigration Authorities.

All the above programs are applicable to other provinces except Quebec which also has some similar programs for the International Immigrants and get assessed by the Quebec Authorities.

6. Canadian Experience Class:

International Students who studied in a Canadian university or Temporary Foreign Workers can apply for a Permanent Resident Visa under this category. For students, they must have at least 1 year of work experience apart from 2 years of academic education and for the temporary workers, they must have at least 2 years of working experience.
