  • Express Entry
  • Provincial Nominee Program

Immigrate to Canada – Express Entry

The world's most sought-after immigration scheme is Canada's Express Entry. Since its debut in 2015, Express Entry has been the only immigration program that evaluates applicants' eligibility for immigration to Canada using a points-based methodology.

  • Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Program
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Immigrate to Canada – PNP

The next best option for immigration to Canada is through the Provincial Nominee Program. Candidates may use this route if they are not eligible through the Express Entry System. The candidate's profile gains an extra 600 points in the event that they receive a PNP nomination. The individual eventually becomes eligible for Express Entry s a result.

There are two categories in the Provincial Nomination Program:

  • Enhanced PNPs – To attract candidates, use the Express Entry system
  • Base PNPs – Function on their own without the need for Express Entry

The list of programs under Base PNPs that a candidate may select to apply to is as follows:

  • Alberta PNP
  • British Columbia PNP
  • Manitoba PNP
  • New Brunswick PNP
  • Newfoundland and Labrador PNP
  • Northwest Territories
  • Nova Scotia PNP
  • Ontario PNP
  • Prince Edward Island PNP
  • Saskatchewan PNP
  • Yukon PNP

You can select a province from which it will be simple to receive a nomination under the PNP depending on your profile when you apply.

Immigrate to Canada – QSWP

If your goal is to permanently immigrate to Quebec for employment, you should apply for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program, which is officially known as the Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP).

The first step in the procedure is to declare your desire to immigrate to Quebec. Quebec then selects and extends an invitation to apply to those who possess the professional training and abilities necessary to support their career integration inside the province.

  • Quebec holds its invitation rounds via the Arrima Portal. Therefore, the Arrima draw is another name for provincial draws held by Quebec.
  • Skilled workers can apply for the Quebec Selection Certificate, also known as the Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ), through the QSWP. Candidates do not need to have a firm employment offer to immigrate to Quebec. Those who have received a job offer, however, are given precedence.
  • Similar to the Express Entry System, the QSWP is based on a points-based system.
  • The federal Express Entry program and the Canadian PNP do not include Quebec.

*Utilize the AIS Overseas Quebec Immigration Points Calculator to determine your eligibility for Quebec.

AIS assists candidates in selecting the best Canada immigration program and supports them during the entire migration process. You will receive step-by-step guidance from our knowledgeable consultants as you organize and carry out your migration process.

AIS Overseas, the top immigration consultancy in India, has the expertise and reputation to support you through the Canada immigration process.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Indians can move to Canada through more than 100 different immigration programs. Through these programs, you can apply for a Provisional Residency Visa or a PR Visa. The most well-known ones are:

    • Express Entry
    • Provincial Nominee Program
    • Quebec Selected Workers Program
      Canada work permit
    • Family Sponsorship
    • Investor Program
    • Study Permit
    • Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program

    The Government of Canada's official website does not list an age restriction for applying for permanent residence in Canada. But an upper age limit is defined broadly. This is due to the fact that applicants find it more difficult to achieve the requirements for 67 points after a certain age. This is because, given their age, they will not receive any points.

    The age at which a person may apply for permanent residence in Canada is 46. This is so that applicants who are older than this will not receive any points. It is important to remember that Canada PR is based on a point system.

    This is the approximate amount of money needed to immigrate to Canada based on IRCC rules.

    • For an individual immigrating: 13,300 CAD
    • Two-person family: 16,570 CAD
    • Three-member family: 20,371 CAD

    (Add 1,000 CAD for each additional child under the age of ten; add 2,000 CAD for each additional child over the age of ten.)

    *The number of immigrants listed is based on the recommendations provided by the IRCC on June 9, 2022.

    Canada has six main immigration streams. These are the following:

    • Federal Skilled Worker Program
    • Provincial Nominee Program
    • Quebec Skilled Worker Program
    • Business Immigrant
    • Canada Experience Class
    • Family Sponsorship

    Every stream has different qualifying standards and serves a varied population of immigrants. We shall now address the prerequisites for the FSWP:

    Skilled work experience

    You must have a minimum of one year of continuous, full-time work experience. This is from the ten years that have passed before you submitted your PR application. Continuous equivalent part-time employment is also acceptable. This needs to fall under Canada's NOC, or National Occupational Classification, Skill Type B, A, or 0.

    Language ability

    It is required of you to prove that you are at least as proficient in the language as the CLB 7 Canadian Language Benchmark. The test results have to come from a company that the IRCC has approved for language testing.

    Education

    Either a Canadian or an international educational credential must be offered. It is necessary to provide an Educational Credential Assessment - ECA Report from a recognized organization. This serves as evidence that the foreign certification is equivalent to a Canadian degree, certificate, or diploma.

    In order to be eligible for the FSWP, a candidate must score 67 out of 100 points. A score of less than 67 will disqualify a candidate. The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and the basic eligibility elements score are not the same.

    Every eligible applicant needs to register for an account on the Express Entry website. This requires the ECA and IELTS scores. After that, the profile is given a ranking out of 1200 for a variety of variables. This covers things like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency.

    CIC sets a minimum CRS score for each draw it conducts from the Express Entry pool. An ITA is extended to each eligible applicant in the pool whose scores are higher than the designated CRS minimum score. They are able to apply for a PR Visa to Canada.

    Yes, candidates with an IELTS score of five bands are eligible to apply for a permanent residence visa to Canada. There are a few different ways to immigrate, including the PNP, the Atlantic Pilot Program, and accepting a job offer.

    You must submit an Expression of Interest and meet the requirements for the job type listed under the Skill types in order to apply for this program. Your profile will receive points based on the information you provide, and in order to be considered for the candidate pool, you must receive at least 67 points.

    Employers and provincial officials in Canada use this pool to find talent that fits their needs. You will receive an invitation to apply for permanent residency (PR) if you receive high points. However, the nation's annual immigration level determines how many invites (ITAs) are sent out.

    After you have a good understanding of the requirements for this program, you will first take an eligibility assessment to see whether you match the requirements. You must:

    • Make a plan of action to ensure that the low-scoring locations receive enough points.
    • Determine the best way to achieve these points in order to be included in the application pool.

    The provinces and territories of Canada nominate people for Canadian Permanent Residency under this program. The purpose of this program is to assist Canadian provinces in attracting foreign talent and addressing their talent scarcity issues. The provinces are searching for experts in the fields of technology, finance, marketing, education, or healthcare.

    You can apply to several of the top Canadian provinces with this program, including:

    • Prince Edward Island
    • Ontario
    • Saskatchewan
    • Manitoba
    • Nova Scotia

    Applying through the PNP program gives applicants the choice of using Express Entry or legitimate job offers from Canadian employers.

    Certain provinces have their own lists of in-demand occupations, so you might be eligible. If your profession is on the list, you will receive an invitation from the province. Next, you can apply for a permanent resident visa for Canada.

    In addition to the required paperwork, candidates for the PNP program need to submit their professional and academic qualifications.

    There are two options when filling out an application through the PNP program:

    1. Through Express Entry
    2. Non-Express Entry

    Express Entry Stream

    To apply, there are two options:

    Applying for a nomination under the Express Entry stream can be done by getting in touch with the relevant province or territory.

    You can register for Express Entry or amend your current profile if one already exists if the province or territory accepts your nomination.

    Making an Express Entry profile and specifying the provinces or territories you are interested in is the alternative. You can get in touch with the province and submit an application via the Express Entry system if they send you a "notification of interest."

     The eligibility prerequisites must be satisfied for your application to be accepted.

    Non- Express Entry Stream

    This option allows you to submit an application for nomination under the non-Express Entry stream to the province or territory. Should your occupation be listed on the province's specific In-demand Occupation Lists and you fulfill the qualifying standards, you will receive a nomination from the government. After that, you can apply for a PR visa to Canada.

    For your PR visa, you will now need to submit a paper application. Generally speaking, the processing time is longer than using the Express Entry system.

     The steps in PNP application for a PR visa are

    1. Apply to the province or area that you want to call home.
    2. The province may designate you to apply for a PR visa if your profile satisfies the requirements.
    3. Once a province has nominated you, apply for your PR visa.

    Province-by-province variations exist in the standards for reviewing the PR application.

    To apply under the PNP program, you have to be nominated under one of the non-express Entry streams in the province or meet the minimum requirements for that stream.

    You will need to get in touch with the province directly if you don't receive a nomination.

    You need to conduct thorough study before selecting the immigration program that would best suit your needs and, more crucially, increase your chances of obtaining a permanent resident visa. To assist you in selecting the best immigration program, you must be aware of how each application procedure works.

    This is when an immigration consultant's assistance will be helpful. In order to avoid missing deadlines or closing dates, which could seriously hinder the success of your application, the consultant will assist you in completing your application on time.

    Indian residents can immigrate to Canada using a number of different immigration programs. Several well-liked programs include:

    1. Express Entry Program
    2. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
    3. Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)

    Every immigration program has a unique set of requirements. You must fulfil these conditions if you are applying to immigrate from Canada to India under a certain program. However, all of these applications share the same general minimal requirements:

    • Candidates must be older than eighteen.
    • The minimal educational requirements for applicants should be equivalent to a higher secondary education in Canada.
    • Candidates must pass language proficiency exams like the IELTS with the required minimum score.
    • Candidates must have at least a year's worth of job experience.
    • Candidates who have a signed employment offer are given priority.

    Express Entry and the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) are two well-liked routes for Indian immigrants to get to Canada. The procedures for Indian immigrants to Canada are as follows:

    • Obtain an evaluation of your educational credentials (ECA)
    • Finish your language proficiency exams and achieve the necessary IELTS score.
    • Get your profile added to the Express Entry pool by creating an Express Entry profile.
    • If you go for the PNP option, submit your application in the province or area where you want to live.
    • Determine your CRS rating.
    • Obtain your Application Invitation (ITA).

    India has a 46-year-old age restriction on immigration applications to Canada. If you apply for the Express Entry program beyond this age, you will not receive any points under the age requirements. Your CRS score may drop as a result.

    You can still gain points for other things, too, such as abilities, language ability, employment offer, schooling, etc. These elements may provide you with the necessary eligibility score to submit an Indian immigration application to Canada.

    Making an Express Entry profile is the first step towards moving to Canada from India. To immigrate to Canada, one of the most popular routes is through the Express Entry program. Under this initiative, the processing period for visas may last as little as six months.

    The steps in the application process are as follows:

    Step 1: Complete your ECA

    You should finish an Educational Credentials Assessment, or ECA if you received your education outside of Canada. This serves as evidence that the credentials you have received are on par with those granted by the educational system in Canada.

    Step 2: Finish your language proficiency exams

    The necessary English language competency exams are the next step in the Express Entry program that you should take. A score of six bands on the IELTS is advised. When you apply, your test results must have been completed no more than two years ago.

    Step 3: Create your profile for Express Entry

    You will need to register for Express Entry online as a first step. Credentials such as age, work experience, education, language proficiency, etc. should be included in the profile.

     Step 4: Calculate the CRS score

    The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score is used to rank the profiles in the Express Entry pool. Immigration aspirants receive a CRS score out of 1200 points when they submit their profiles to the Express Entry pool.

      Your CRS score is influenced by various factors, including age, work experience, adaptability, etc.

    Step 5: Receive your Invitation to Apply (ITA)   

    Every two weeks, there is an Express Entry draw. Every Express Entry draw typically results in a different CRS score. If you meet the CRS score requirements for the Express Entry draw, your profile is chosen from the Express Entry pool. The Canadian government will then issue you with an ITA, after which you can begin the process of obtaining your PR visa paperwork.
