There are 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada. Most provinces and territories in Canada can nominate immigrants through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). These immigrants must have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of that province or territory, and must want to live there.

Each province and territory has its own “streams” (immigration programs that target certain groups) and criteria for their PNP. For example, in a program stream, provinces and territories may target students, business people, skilled workers or semi-skilled workers. Since January 1, 2015, many provinces and territories have launched new Express Entry streams

Potential candidates are required to complete their online profiles as a first step to immigrate to Canada under the Express Entry Program. Unlike policy in the past, there are no deadlines to submit the application/express entry profile or quotas applied to the number of applicants that could be accepted to the Express Entry Pool.

Under this program foreign nationals must receive an invitation from IRCC before they may apply to Federal Skilled Trades program. This eliminates the requirement to process applicants in these programs through a first in, first out method. IRCC aims to process 80% of complete Express Entry applications in six months or less.

In Express Entry, foreign nationals wishing to come to Canada must first complete a profile through their online account. Those who appear to meet the criteria of one or more of the three federal immigration programs managed through Express Entry (i.e., FSWC, FSTC and CEC) are automatically entered into the Express Entry pool of candidates. Top-ranked candidates are then invited to apply online for permanent residence.

In order to qualify as a caregiver in Canada, all applicants must meet the requirements set by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) under the foreign caregiver program. The Live-in Caregiver Program allows professional caregivers to work in Canada. Caregivers are individuals who are qualified to work without supervision in a private household providing care for children, elderly persons or people who have disabilities.

The new rules require an employer to obtain a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment in order to hire a caregiver from abroad. The LMIA is needed to prove that hiring of a foreign worker is necessary due to a shortage of locally available caregivers.

There are four main requirements to qualify under the Live-in Caregiver Program:

1. You must have successfully completed the equivalent of a Canadian high school education.

2. You must have six months of full-time training in a classroom setting or twelve months of full-time paid employment, including at least six months of continuous employment with one employer in a field or occupation related to the job you are seeking, as a live-in caregiver. You may have gained your training or experience in areas such as early childhood education, geriatric care, pediatric nursing or first aid. You may also have completed your training as part of your formal education. This experience must have been obtained within the three years immediately prior to the day on which you submit an application for a work permit.

3. You must be able to speak, read and understand either English or French at a level that allows you to function independently in a home setting.

4. You must have a written employment contract between you and your future employer.

If you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident living in Canada, and you can sponsor close family members living abroad, including children adopted outside of Canada or who will be adopted in Canada, or brother, sisters, nephew, niece or grandchild who are orphaned, under 18 and not married or in a common-law relationship. If you are related to the person you want to sponsor in another way, you could still sponsor him/her if you do not have a member of the Family Class to sponsor.

Once you are approved as a sponsor, the person you are sponsoring can begin the process of their permanent residence application. If you are a Canadian citizen adopting a child from another country, you can apply for Canadian citizenship for your adopted child right away. You do not have to apply for permanent residence first.

You have to be very careful while applying for family sponsorship since mistakes can cause undue delay and cost you a lot in monetary terms as well.

Persons who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada may require a visa to enter Canada. The requirement for a visa also applies to temporary residents who are transiting in Canada.

A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) is an official document issued by a Canadian visa office that is placed in a visitor’s passport to show that he/she has met the requirements for admission to Canada as a temporary resident (either as a visitor, a student, or a worker).

If you want to visit Canada, you must obtain a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) before your departure. According to CIC directives you cannot obtain one upon arrival in Canada.

We are Authorized Canadian Immigration Consultancy and our team of seasoned immigration professionals can assist you in getting your visit visa by completing your documentation exactly as required. It saves your time and money because your application for visit visa is submitted exactly in line with the directives of the CIC minimizing the chances for the refusal of your application.

​Canada welcomes huge number of students from foreign jurisdictions each year. If you intend to study at a Canadian educational institution, you like most foreign nationals must apply for a study permit. A study permit, once issued, allows a foreign national to study in Canada at an approved educational institution for the duration of the specified course or program.

A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) may also be required if the student is a citizen of a country from which Temporary Resident Visas are required for entry into Canada. However, a Temporary Resident Visa is not required for citizens of visa exempt countries.

It is possible to work in Canada, while you are here as a student, under any Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s (CIC’s) work programs for students. In addition to this, spouses or common-law partners of foreign students are eligible for a work permit for the duration as the study permit.

Upon graduation, a foreign student may apply for a work permit under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program. Under this program, the work permit may be issued for the length of the study program, up to a maximum of three years.

Most foreign workers require a work permit to work in Canada on a temporary basis. Before the worker may be granted a Temporary Work Permit by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) an offer of employment from a Canadian employer is usually required.

There are several steps to this process. Depending upon the foreign worker’s country of citizenship, a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) may also need to be obtained in order to enter Canada.

1: Employer applies for Labor Market Impact Assessment, if necessary

2: Employer extends Temporary Job Offer

3: Foreign Worker applies for Work Permit

4: Work Permit is issued.

The most important of all is LMIA. Before a Temporary Work Permit can be issued, the Canadian employer who wishes to hire a temporary foreign worker may need to apply for and be granted a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) by ESDC, which will grant a positive LMIA if it is satisfied that there is no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to do the job.

A study permit is the official document granted by the Government of Canada that gives you permission to study in Canada. It also gives you the right to remain in Canada for the duration of the permit – one to 4 years.

You do not need a Canadian study permit if your course or program lasts six months or less. Nonetheless, it may be a good idea to apply for a permit before you come to Canada anyway – otherwise if you decide you want to continue your studies in another program, you’ll need to leave Canada to apply for a study permit through a visa office.

If you’d like to get a part-time job to help support yourself while studying in Canada, you can now qualify to work on or off-campus for up to 20 hours during university semesters and full-time during breaks such as the winter or summer holidays, without the need for a work permit.

You will also need a Social Insurance Number (SIN) from Service Canada to work in Canada or to receive benefits and services from government programs.

Your study permit will become invalid 90 days after you have completed your study program, so you’ll need to acquire a post-graduation work permit if you want to stay in Canada after your studies and seek work. This is valid for three years.
