Canada is known for being a welcoming recipient of immigrants and still plans on to welcome over 1.3 million new immigrants between 2022 and 2024. There are many ways for you to immigrate to Canada, however, we explain a few of these options here.
Immigration to Canada is not easy and involves many steps to successfully get your application accepted. LCC immigration consultant in Toronto guides you here on how to move to Canada through working, studying, or spouses who are permanent residents.
Express Entry Program
There is a Canadian Immigration Program that allows immigrants to live and work in Canada as skilled workers through Express Entry. This system allows Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to pro-actively assess, recruit, and select immigrants who possess skills or relevant qualifications under federal economic immigration programs such as:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
- The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
- The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
Through the Express Entry program, individual provinces and territories recruit suitable candidates as part of the Provincial Nominee Programs that help in meeting the labour market demands. It is one of Canada’s popular programs that can help you with your immigration application.
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
It is a province’s economic immigration program that works in partnership with the Government of Canada through Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Whether you are a student, someone in search for a job in Canada, or anyone with the right skills, experiences, and education, you become eligible to apply to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program. However, the Government of Canada makes the final decision of approving applicants for permanent residence. In case of a student you can meet the study visa consultant at LCC immigration to know more about the process.
Spousal Sponsorship Visa
Family reunification is cornerstone of Canada’s immigration policy. Therefore, your spouse can sponsor you as long as they are a permanent resident of Canada. Spousal sponsoships are given priority. However, the sponsor has to sign an undertaking that guarantees to take responsibility for the sponsored person. The undertaking document is a contract between the sponsor and the CIC that mentions that the sponsor is to repay the government for any social assistance payments to the sponsored person.
LMIA Work Visa
Some of the applicants for immigration first acquire Canadian job offers, apply for a work visa, and then immigrate to Canada on that basis. The LMIA helps in securing a job offer, having the employer apply for an LMIA. The applicant then applies for the work permit after LMIA is approved. Although it is a very challenging process, it can lead to Canadian permanent residence.
Canadian Investor Immigration
This category is designed for high-net-worth individuals who have experience in owning or managing businesses overseas. The experienced business people investing in the Canadian economy contribute to Canada’s overall growth and prosperity. There are two investor programs in Canada: The Federal Investor Program and the Quebec program. The programs resemble slightly and require that the applicants have a high net worth and make a significant investment in an approved investment fund for a 5-year period. The Investor immigrants are allowed to bring their spouses and children as dependents on their applications.
