Immigrate
Overview
Immigrate to Canada
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Canada’s federal immigration authority, plans to admit over 500,000 immigrants to Canada annually, mainly under the Economic Class and the Family Reunification Class.
Express Entry
Express Entry is an online system that we use to manage immigration applications from skilled workers. There are 3 immigration programs managed:
Federal Skilled Worker
FSW program has been the main way Canada has welcomed talent from all across the globe.
Federal Skilled Trade
FST program is for skilled workers who want to become permanent residents based on being qualified in a skilled trade.
Canadian Experience Class
The Canadian government welcomes the desire of foreign professionals with Canadian experience to become permanent residents of Canada.
In addition to the three federal immigration classes, almost all provinces and territories in Canada have their own Provincial Nominee Programs streams. Provinces and territories may grant a Provincial Nomination to an applicant which guarantees the ability to apply for the Permanent Residency by circumventing or all together bypassing competitive Express Entry system.
The current family reunification class sponsorship policy encourages Canadian citizens and permanent residents to reunite with their immediate family members in Canada.
Provincial Programs
Have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory.
Atlantic Pilot
Immigrate by graduating from a school or working in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, or Newfoundland and Labrador.
Family Sponsorship
Sponsor your relatives, including your spouse, partner, children, parents, grandparents, and others to immigrate
