Canada PR

According to statistics, Canada will welcome more than one million immigrants between 2020 to 2023.

Express Entry: Each year, Canada welcomes around 110,000 skilled workers through Express Entry. The Canadian Government developed an online system to arrange and operate applications for skilled workers who are willing to move to Canada and achieve Canadian permanent residence status. The Express Entry directs three major federal economic programs:

• Federal Skilled Worker (FSW):The Federal Skilled Worker program operates under the Express Entry Program, and the evaluation gets done through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The worker must have one-year work experience and should meet all the eligibility criteria.
• Federal Skilled Trades (FST):To be certified for FST Program, the candidate must have two years of work experience in a skilled trade. The candidate must secure the experience within five years before the application.
• Canadian Experience Class (CEC):The CEC is best for those candidates who have recent work experience in Canada and now looking for permanent immigration to Canada.

Candidates with University Degrees, skilled work experience, and ordinary proficiency in English or French are suitable for Express Entry Program.

The candidate must also meet the eligibility criteria of one of the three Federal programs: Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades, and Canadian Experience Class.

To meet the eligibility criteria of the Express Entry Program, the candidate must have the following:

• Have at least one year of experience in any skilled profession.
• Need to score a minimum of a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) seven in English or French.
• Post-secondary education equivalent to Canadian standard with an Education Credential Assessment (ECA).
• Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Provincial nominee Program offers a route to those individuals who are willing to immigrate to a particular Canadian province or territory.

Each Canadian ProvinceProvince runs its PNP developed to meet its determined economic and demographic needs.

According to the current PR Draw of 2022, the Canadian Government is focusing more on Provincial Nominee Program by continuing the trend of 2021 and excluding the individuals from Federal Skilled Worker.

There are thirteen provinces and territories in Canada, and they run their PNP Program.

There is a step by step by process through which you can apply for a PNP Program in Canada:

• Find a suitable PNP: Research all the provinces and territories where you are looking forward to immigrating and check the eligibility criteria of each PNP.
• Apply to PNP: After choosing a suitable PNP, submit your application for that ProvinceProvince.
• Provincial Nominee Certificate: If the candidate's application is selected, the ProvinceProvince or nominee will nominate the individual for the Canadian Permanent Residence.
• Apply for Permanent Residence: The last step is to apply for Permanent Residence.
• Sponsorship: In this, the family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents get sponsored.
