Reasons to Opt for Canada for Permanent Residency

- A diverse and welcoming populace
- A pathway to Canadian citizenship after several years of residency
Process to Apply for Canada PR from India
1. Select the Appropriate PR Program
Canada offers several immigration routes for PR. The most common include:
- Express Entry System (For skilled applicants under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class)
- Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) (For candidates nominated by a particular Canadian province)
- Family Sponsorship (For those with family in Canada)
- Business/Investor Programs (For entrepreneurs and investors wishing to start a business in Canada)
2. Verify Eligibility Requirements
Each program has distinct criteria, but several common factors include:
- Age (Preferred age is between 18-45 years)
- Education (At least a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent preferred)
- Work experience (Minimum of 1 year of relevant experience required)
- Language proficiency (Required minimum score in IELTS/CELPIP)
- Proof of funds (Funds to support yourself and your dependents in Canada)
3. Establish an Express Entry Profile
If applying through Express Entry, create a profile on Canada’s immigration website and provide information such as education, work history, and language test scores. Your profile will generate a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Score.
4. Enhance Your CRS Score
To boost your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA), consider:
- Improving your IELTS/CELPIP scores
- Accumulating more work experience
- Applying for a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) for additional CRS points
- Pursuing education in Canada for extra points
5. Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)
If your CRS score meets the required threshold, you will be issued an ITA. You must then submit all relevant documents, including proof of work, police clearance certificates, medical examinations, and proof of funds.
6. Submit Your PR Application
Once you have an ITA, you must submit your complete PR application within 60 days. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will review your application, which may take 6-8 months to process.
7. Obtain Your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR)
Upon approval, you will be granted a COPR along with a visa allowing you to relocate to Canada as a Permanent Resident!
