How to get Canada PR

There are many ways through which you can settle in Canada. Canada has many programs or pathways to welcome immigrants to the country that are based on their education, work experience, English proficiency, etc. The candidates are then allotted Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores based on these criteria. The minimum CRS score varies from time to time based on the number of employment requirements in the country.

The pathways are Canada Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Program, Family Sponsorship, and Start-up visa. Each of these pathways has been explained one by one for a better understanding:

Canada Express Entry

Canada Express Entry is an online immigration application management system that receives applications from skilled workers. Under Express Entry, three sub-programs are mentioned below:

  • Canada Experience Class: These are for those candidates with Canadian work experience.
  • Federal Skilled Worker Program: The program is for skilled workers from outside Canada and is eligible to immigrate to the country.
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program: This program is for skilled workers qualified in a skilled trade.

After the candidates submit their applications, a profile is created in the Canada Express Entry system and sent into the Express Entry pool. Then the candidates from the Express Entry pool will be invited as and when a requirement comes up at the federal or provincial level. After this, the immigration candidates can apply for a Canada PR visa.

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Canadian provinces hold Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws to take up skilled workers for their provinces. These draws are held only when a vacancy arises in that particular Canadian province. Each Canadian province has its own PNP.

Provincial Nominee Program searches for skilled workers who can meet the demands of the respective provincial labor market. There are many other criteria that the candidates have to satisfy to get nominated under the PNP of a specific province:

  • Candidates must intend to live in the province
  • They must have relevant work experience and skills
  • One must have the basic educational qualification required for the job

Every PNP has its streams to cater to different types of candidates for immigration, such as:

  • Skilled workers
  • Students
  • Semi-skilled workers
  • Business people

The PNP draws are conducted to choose candidates from various sources like the Express Entry pool. The candidates that receive a PNP nomination score an additional 600 CRS points in the Express Entry system.
