Thanks again for visiting my channel.
In this video you will see all the best and easiest possible ways to Immigrate to Canada
and get a Canadian PR.
Over the past few years, the process for Canadian Immigration has been really streamlined and
most of the times it’s just a matter of choosing the right category/stream to apply
in.
Canada has opened its doors really wide open since early 2017 and there are many ways to
make Canada as your new home.
While this sounds exciting at first, it also confuses people on which stream to apply and
what’s the path to PR in that particular stream.
With that said, there is no better time for aspirants looking to Immigrate to Canada,
lets quickly take a look at each of the Canadian immigration streams and their prospects in
this video: #1 – Express Entry
Express Entry is one of the most popular immigration streams amongst skilled migrants.
It started off in 2015 and has been a growing source of skilled immigrants for the Canadian
Govt.
Express Entry is a system of immigration programs that help skilled workers move to Canada as
permanent residents.
The system ranks candidates according to their age, education, work experience, and language
abilities, and then selects the best candidates to come to Canada.
Express Entry also allows workers to bring their family members!
Express Entry has the fastest processing times of all Canadian permanent residency programs,
with 80% of applications being processed in 6 months or less.
Please check my other video which explains in detail about the steps involved in the
Express Entry Process.
I have provided the link in the description below
#2 – Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) Every Canadian province, except Québec and
Nunavut territory has its own immigration program, called Provincial Nominee Program
or PNP.
PNPs let provinces respond to their individual economic needs by nominating certain candidates
for permanent resident status.
Often PNPs search out foreign workers with experience in occupations which are in-demand
in the province.
For example, the province of Saskatchewan recently changed its PNP to nominate more
computer programmers.
There are nearly 80 different PNPs across Canada, each with its own set of eligibility
requirements.
If you’re eligible for just one of them, that could be your ticket to Canada!
Please visit IRCC website for more details about each province PNP programs.
I have provided the link in the description below.
#3 – Become an International Student If you, or your parents can afford it, there
is no better way to come to Canada than through studying at a Canadian university or college.
Canada is a top destination in the world for international students.
This is because of the countries great schools, affordable tuition, and positive attitude
towards newcomers.
But!
Canada also makes it easy for international students to apply for permanent immigration
after their study has ended.
Students undergoing a 2 years program in Canadian University / College have number of immigration
options.
For this reason, many newcomers choose to start their immigration journey by studying
in Canada, and then apply for permanent residents status later!
#4 Free Trade Agreements In addition to the most well-known trade agreement,
NAFTA (probably being replaced by the USMCA), Canada has other trade agreements that allow
for certain immigration exemptions.
The only problem is these agreements are only open to citizens from the countries shown:
International Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) contain provisions to facilitate, on a reciprocal
basis, temporary entry for business persons.
Eligible persons entering under an FTA will generally require a work permit, but are exempt
from a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
Canada has free trade agreements with the following countries as shown
If you are a national of one of these countries and you work for a company that either has
a Canadian operation or has a contract with a Canadian company, you may be able to work
in Canada without a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
These agreements allow for you to work for your company, or their subsidiary, branch,
affiliate, or parent company, in Canada in what is called an intra-company transfer.
This list will increase in the future as Canada has many free trade agreements in the works,
but at the moment, only these nationals of these countries are eligible for the temporary
work visas
If you're here long enough, you may be able to use your Canadian work experience to apply
for permanent residence through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or through a Provincial
Nominee Program.
#5 WORK PERMIT WITH JOB OFFER If you are semi-skilled or "skilled" (university
educated) for most people the simplest way to come to Canada is to get a work permit.
There are two problems: First, you have to convince a Canadian
employer to give you a job over a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
Second, your employer has to convince Human Resources and Development Canada that
they must hire a foreign worker as no Canadian can do that job (a Labour Market Opinion).
So what seems like an easy process is made complicated.
Add to that the problem of applying for a job from overseas, and it seems impossible.
If you have any connections in Canada, that is the best way; contact them and see if they
know anyone who is hiring.
#6 Immigrate as a self-employed person The Self-employed Persons Program allows people
to immigrate to Canada permanently as a self-employed person.
If you’re interested in this program, you must.
have relevant experience in cultural activities or athletics and.
be willing and able to make a significant contribution to the cultural or athletic life
of Canada.
You can apply if you are: • author / writer.
• creative and performing artist.
• Musicians.
• Painter.
• Sculptor / visual artist.
• technical support or other job in motion pictures.
• creative designers / craftspeople.
Experience needed: At least 2 years of last 5 years.
#7.
SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP Psst, don't tell anyone, but having a Canadian
spouse or partner is one of the easiest ways into the country.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship and Canada is cracking down on "marriage fraud"
- when two people legalize a sham marriage in order to get the foreign spouse permanent
residence and citizenship - so you better make sure you're relationship is real.
Learn more about spousal sponsorship by visitin the link in the description below #8.
Startup Visa The start-up visa program is for entrepreneurs
who want to start a business in Canada.
Your start-up or new business must receive support from a designated organization before
you can participate in the visa program.
These investors are Canadian venture capital funds, angel investors and business incubators
who all have their own application process and selection criteria.
Make sure you research each organization carefully to find the best match for your business idea.
If your business idea is selected by a designated organization, you will receive a letter of
support that you must include in your application.
Processing time: 12 to 16 months Fees from $1540
Optional: While individuals application for PR is being processed, he / she can apply
for a temporary work permit to get to Canada and start building his / her business. Please visit the link in the description below for more information
#9.
Visitor Visa If the only way you can come to Canada is
with a job offer and a work permit, the easiest way to come to Canada is to get a visitor
visa, if you need one, and to look for a job while you're here.
You cannot work in Canada using your visitor visa.
But you can communicate with potential employers about future work.
You should know that you will need another reason to visit Canada as it is unlikely that
a border officer will be willing to let you into the country if you say you are coming
to look for work.
But don't lie; lying will only make you inadmissible, which means you will not be allowed in.
Rather you should plan an actual holiday to Canada to see this beautiful country and,
while here, see if you can make a few connections.
Once you have returned home, you can start the work permit process. Please visit the link in the description below for more information.
Immigration Pilot programs.
Canadian Government brings Immigration Pilots frequently and some the current ones Include.

The pilot helps employers in Atlantic Canada hire foreign skilled workers who want to immigrate
to Atlantic Canada and international graduates who want to stay in Atlantic Canada after

and live in 1 of the participating communities. Please visit the link in the description below for more information
Canada’s friendly stance towards new immigrants, when other nations like US and Australia are
restricting immigration policies is contributing to Canada’s success and is helping country
to widen its talent pool.

up and start the process to move to a friendly, beautiful and safe corner of the world.
