FAQ: Immigration in Canada

The immigration process in Canada involves several steps, including determining your eligibility, choosing the right immigration program, submitting an application, undergoing background checks and medical exams, and attending interviews. The process can vary depending on the immigration program you are applying under.

Canada offers various immigration programs, including the Express Entry system, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), Family Sponsorship,  Atlantic immigration, Refugees, Caregivers. Agri-Food Pilot, Self employed, Start up visa, Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot Each program has its own requirements and eligibility criteria.

The Express Entry system is a popular immigration pathway that manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). It uses a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to rank candidates and invite them to apply for permanent residency.

Eligibility requirements vary depending on the immigration program. Generally, factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, age, and adaptability are considered. You can use the eligibility calculators provided by the Government of Canada or consult with an immigration lawyer or consultant to assess your eligibility.

Yes, Canada allows you to sponsor certain family members for permanent residency. Spouses or common-law partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents can be sponsored under the Family Sponsorship program, subject to specific requirements. Other family members, such as siblings and cousins, may have different sponsorship options or may need to qualify under other immigration programs.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are immigration programs that allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate candidates who meet their specific labor market and economic needs. Each province or territory has its own PNP with unique eligibility criteria and application processes. Successful nomination can lead to Canadian permanent residency.

The processing time for immigration applications can vary significantly depending on the program, the completeness of your application, the volume of applications being processed, and other factors. Processing times can range from a few months to over a year. It’s important to check the latest processing times on the official website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Language proficiency is an essential factor for many immigration programs in Canada. The most commonly accepted language tests are the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and CELPIP, French: TEF Canada and TCF Canada The required minimum scores may vary depending on the program.

In certain cases, you may be eligible for a work permit while your immigration application is being processed. The work permit is usually tied to a specific job offer from a Canadian employer or through specific programs such as the International Mobility Program (IMP) or the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) for recent international graduates.
