Are you eligible to Immigrate to Canada?
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (previously known as Immigration and Citizenship Canada) is the government department that is responsible for all cases that relate to:
- Immigration to Canada
- Refugees coming to Canada
- Canadian citizenship
Eligibility for immigration to Canada will be determined by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and will depend on your reason for wanting to move to Canada.
Immigrate to Canada
There are a variety of reasons a person might want to immigrate to Canada, and these are supported by the various immigration programs Canada offers. Many people want to come to Canada to study. Others want to work or start a business and others want to join family members who are already living in the country. We help immigrants with each of these immigration options.
Many people who immigrate to Canada are looking to work. That is why Canada has 11 skilled worker programs and 10 provincial work programs to help immigrants find a suitable job. While priority is given to immigrants who are sponsored by an employer, there are programs that also help non-sponsored immigrants find employment. These operate on a quota basis and use a point value system when evaluating work skills and previous experience.
Depending on the type of work you plan to engage in and how long you plan to stay in Canada, there are work permits for:
- Temporary employment
- Permanent employment
- Student employment (while studying)
- Agricultural employment
- Live-in caregivers
- International work experience
- Business professionals
Close to 500,000 international students study in Canadian schools, making it one of the top reasons people immigrate to Canada. International students must apply for a study visa in order to live and go to school in Canada. They must also apply for a special work permit if they want to work during their studies.
We can help international students find information on:
- Canadian schools
- Scholarships for international students
- What to do when changing your program of study
- Preparing to study in Canada
Business immigration is an option for people who have the financial means to invest in or start a business in Canada, which will provide employment opportunities for Canadians and contribute to the Canadian economy. Business immigrants can enter Canada in one of two ways:
- The Start-Up Visa Program
- As a Self-Employed Person
- Student employment (while studying)
- Agricultural employment
- Live-in caregivers
- International work experience
- Business professionals
Any person who wishes to benefit from the Start-up Visa Program must:
- Have the financial resources in place to support themselves prior to launching a business and earning a profit
- Have the support of an angel investor, venture capitalist, or business incubator
- Be able to communicate fluently in English or French
Any person who wants to enter Canada as a Self-Employed Person must have one of the following:
- Experience in farm management and plans to operate a farm
- Experience that will allow them to contribute to Canada’s athletic or cultural community
For Family Sponsorship, there must be a family member who already resides in Canada and is one of the following:
- A Canadian citizen
- A Permanent Resident
- A person registered under the Canadian Indian Act
If you have family members you would like to bring to Canada, we can help you sponsor them to come and join you. Family members who can be sponsored include:
- Spouse/partner
- Dependent children
- Parents and grandparents
- Adopted children
- Other relatives
In addition, family members can be sponsored to visit children or grandchildren who are living in Canada.
There are many different types of visas you can apply for when coming to Canada. The type of visa you will need will depend on the reason for your stay and the options can be confusing. When traveling from the U.S. with a stay of less than 180 days there is no visa required.
However U.S. residents, as well as foreign nationals who are visa-exempt, must have an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). The eTA is an electronic document that is linked to a traveler’s passport and will need to be renewed when a passport is renewed. The eTA will allow a traveler to stay in Canada for up to 6 months.
Permanent residency in Canada is a status granted by the Canadian government to foreign nationals who are not Canadian citizens, but who want to live and work in Canada. Permanent residents can live and work in Canada without any time limits on their stay and they have many of the same rights and responsibilities as a Canadian citizen. This is the first step in becoming a citizen of Canada.
A foreign national can apply to become a permanent resident under the following programs:
- Canadian Experience Class Visa
- Business Class Immigration
- Family Sponsorship Program
- Live-in Caregiver Program
- Federal Skilled Trades Program
- Provincial Nomination Programs
- Quebec-Selected Skilled Workers Program
Canadian Citizenship
When looking for how to immigrate to Canada, your journey will begin with getting the correct visa for your stay. If you intend to remain in Canada for the long-term, you will need to explore the options of becoming a permanent resident and a Canadian citizen.
To become a Canadian citizen, foreign nationals must:
- Become a permanent resident of Canada
- Have lived in Canada for 3 of the 5 years immediately prior to applying for citizenship
- Have filed income tax for at least 3 of the 5 years immediately prior to applying for citizenship
- Prove their skill in understanding and speaking either English or French
- Prove their knowledge of Canada by passing the citizenship test, which tests individuals on their knowledge of Canadian laws, government, symbols, economy, history, and geography
- Not have any prohibitions related to criminal activity within or outside Canada, which may prevent a person from becoming a citizen
Once you have submitted your Canadian citizenship application, it will take approximately 12 months to process the application. Once approved, you will be required to take the Canadian citizenship test and go to an interview to test your language skills. Once you have passed the test and interview, you will take an Oath of Citizenship, which takes place on Canada Day and during Citizenship Week each year in locations across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions about Immigration to Canada
There are many ways newcomers can immigrate to Canada. A number of immigration programs are available that lead to permanent residency, including:
- Express Entry (EE): This is the most popular way to immigrate to Canada, due to its quick processing times.
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP): This is aimed at individuals who have the skills, education and work experience to contribute to a specific province or territory.
- Start-up Visa (SUV): Entrepreneurs with the skills to build innovative businesses in Canada, create jobs for Canadians, and compete on a global scale, can apply for a Start-up Visa.
- Family Sponsorship: Family sponsorship provides a route for spouses, partners, children, parents, grandparents, and in certain cases, other relatives to live, work and study in Canada as PRs.
- Caregivers: Caregivers can come to Canada to become a PR or work temporarily through the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot or Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP).
- Self-employed: The Self-employed Persons Program allows individuals with relevant experience in cultural activities or athletics to immigrate to Canada permanently as a self-employed person.
- Agri-food Pilot: This program helps address the labor needs of the Canadian agri-food sector and can be a pathway to PR.
Student to PR : This route is mostly selected by youngsters in the age group of 18-28 by coming to Canada as a Student, followed by Work Permit and PR options.
Your family may be able to immigrate with you to Canada if they are processed for PR as your dependents. This includes:
- Spouse or common-law partner
- Dependent child
- Your spouse or common-law partner’s dependent child
- A dependent child of a dependent child
However, your dependents are not permitted to arrive in Canada before you.
A permanent resident (PR) is someone who has been given permanent resident status but is not a Canadian citizen. When foreign nationals first apply for and receive permanent residency, they are issued a PR visa in their passport. It provides approved individuals a one-time entry to Canada and has a validity period during which individuals are expected to travel to Canada and complete their landing formalities. Individuals who are in Canada temporarily such as a student, foreign worker, or visitor, are not considered permanent residents and would not be issued a PR visa. The most sought-after way to settle as a PR in Canada is through immigration streams such as Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP). Refugees can also become permanent residents through the Government-Assisted Refugee Program or the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program.
The Express Entry (EE) program is one of the most sought after and popular ways to immigrate to Canada. Express Entry is an online immigration application system that allows prospective newcomers to be considered as a skilled immigrant. A EE profile will determine your ranking and can be used to apply for:
- Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program: This program is for applicants with significant foreign work experience and/or a high level of education who want to immigrate to Canada permanently.
- Federal Skilled Trades (FST) program: This program is for skilled tradespeople who want to immigrate to Canada.
- Canadian Experience Class: This program is for foreign nationals who have been working in Canada for a period of at least one year to apply for Permanent Residence (PR).
Express Entry manages applications for the Federal Skilled Worker program, Federal Skilled Trades program, and Canadian Experience Class. You can send your CV to us, and we will be happy to do a free assessment and get back to you with our suggestions.
Canada is a great Country with fastest growing population; therefore business opportunities are enormous, and Immigration Canada has several immigration programs to attract both experienced Businessman and Senior Managers who has the essential skills to establish and develop a Business in Canada. Most popular programs for Businesspeople are:
- START-UP Visa which is a Direct Permanent Residence Program with Work Permit

- Owner Operation Pathway: Buying a Partnership in an existing Business and personally playing the role in the same Business.
Foreign nationals will need a work permit to be allowed to work in Canada. However, sometimes you may be eligible to work in Canada without a work permit.
There are two types of work permits:
- Open work permit: This allows you to work for any employer in Canada and you can only get an open work permit in specific situations.
- Employer-specific work permit: Also called a closed work permit specifies the name of the employer you can work for, location, and for how long you can work.
The other way individuals from other countries can legally work in Canada is to apply for International Experience Canada (IEC) which is also known as a Working Holiday Visa.
International students in Canada may also be eligible to work or apply for a Post-graduate Work Permit (PGWP) upon completion of eligible education programs in Canada.
Searching for a job in a new country can feel daunting. Get job-ready by preparing a Canadian-style resume and cover letter ahead of time. Remember that most Canadian employers will want to know if you are legally allowed to work in Canada. This often translates to being a permanent resident (PR), having a work permit, being an international student who is allowed to work in Canada, being the spouse of an international student, or being a Canadian citizen.
The cost of moving to Canada will depend on the pathway you found to be eligible and selecting to immigrate to Canada. It can be discussed in detail once you book a consultation with our Attorney in person or virtual.
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is one of two accepted language proficiency tests in English and the world’s most popular test. It is designed to demonstrate a newcomer’s proficiency in the English language and is one of the most widely accepted language tests for Canadian newcomers. Tens of thousands of individuals take the IELTS to come to Canada each year.
The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) is the name of the other accepted English-language tests for Canadian immigration. The CELPIP General will test your listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills in English. This test is officially designated for Permanent Resident applications by IRCC.
The difference between IELTS and CELPIP is that CELPIP is computer-based only, making it a good choice for newcomers who are comfortable with computers and proficient at typing. The test also gives you access to a timer, word counter and spell check tool. Another benefit is CELPIP uses Canadian accents for the speaking and listening portion of the test, unlike the IELTS, which uses English-speaking accents from other countries, including Australia and New Zealand.
