Here’s everything you need to know about applying for Canada PR from India in 2025:
What is Canada PR (Permanent Residency)?
Permanent Residency in Canada allows individuals to live, work, and study anywhere in the country, with many of the rights enjoyed by Canadian citizens. PR holders can apply for citizenship after fulfilling certain residency requirements.

The most popular pathways for Indians to apply for Canada PR include:
Express Entry Program (Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades, Canadian Experience Class)

Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)
Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP)
General Application Steps:

Important: Canada continuously updates its immigration policies — 2025 will see new tech-focused and healthcare-focused streams opening up!
Canada Open Work Permit Vs. Closed Work Permit
Open Work Permit:
You can work for any employer in Canada.
Ideal for spouses of skilled workers, international graduates, or individuals under special programs.
No job offer required before arriving.
Closed Work Permit:
Tied to a specific employer and usually requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
You must work for the employer mentioned on your permit.
Choosing between an open or closed work permit depends on your situation and immigration goals. GO GLOBAL IMMIGRATION SERVICES can help you determine the best fit for your profile.
Is IELTS Mandatory for Canada PR?
Yes, for most PR pathways like Express Entry, IELTS is mandatory. You must achieve a minimum Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) score, depending on the program you're applying for.
Other accepted English tests include CELPIP (for English) and TEF/TCF (for French proficiency). Higher language scores improve your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, boosting your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
Difference Between Residency and Citizenship
Permanent Residency:
You can live, work, and study anywhere in Canada.
Access to healthcare and social benefits.
Need to renew your PR card every five years.
You are still a citizen of India (or your country of origin).
Citizenship:
You can apply after staying for a certain number of years as a PR.
Right to vote and get a Canadian passport.
No need to renew your status.
Residency is your stepping stone to full citizenship if you wish to fully settle in Canada!
