Canadian Immigration

Here are some general updates on Canadian immigration:

  1. Express Entry: Express Entry is the main immigration pathway for skilled workers to become permanent residents of Canada. The system manages the applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. The criteria and requirements for these programs are regularly updated to ensure the selection of candidates who have the highest potential to contribute to the Canadian economy.

  2. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): PNPs allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals with specific skills and qualifications to apply for Canadian permanent residency. Each province has its own unique streams and criteria, which are regularly updated to meet the labor market needs of the region. It's important to review the specific requirements of the province or territory you are interested in.

  3. Atlantic Immigration Pilot: The Atlantic Immigration Pilot is a program designed to attract skilled workers and international graduates to Canada's Atlantic provinces: Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. The pilot program offers a pathway to permanent residency for eligible candidates who have a job offer from an employer in one of the participating provinces.

  4. Family Sponsorship: Canada allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their eligible family members for permanent residency. The Family Sponsorship program is regularly updated to ensure that families can reunite in Canada. The requirements and eligibility criteria vary depending on the specific relationship.
