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.

Canadian Work Permits

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

Study in Canada

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

Business Immigration

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

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 that will allow them to contribute to Canada’s athletic or cultural community

Family Sponsorship

For Family Sponsorship, there must be a family member who already resides in Canada and is one of the following:

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

In addition, family members can be sponsored to visit children or grandchildren who are living in Canada.

Visa

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.

For those who require a visa to enter Canada, here are the available visa types:

Visitor Visa – This is a Canada tourist visa that permits an individual to travel to and within Canada for a vacation. This type of visa allows a short stay and requires a guarantee that the traveler will leave Canada once the visa has expired.
Student Visa – This is a Canada student visa that permits an individual to stay in Canada during their studies. It also allows them to bring their spouse and family with them while they reside in Canada. They can work during their studies and apply for an open work permit, once their studies have ended.
Super Visa for Parents and Grandparents – This visa allows parents and grandparents to come to Canada and be with an individual for up to 10 years.
Federal Skilled Worker Visa – This is a Canadian work visa for foreign nationals who plan to become a permanent resident of Canada. Whether they are already in Canada or are traveling to Canada, an individual who has applied for this visa will be ranked based on their previous work experience, qualifications, and ability to communicate in English or French. Applicants will receive points based on the above criteria and need a minimum of 67 out of 100 and a minimum of one year of work experience to qualify.
Canadian Experience Class Visa – This in a Canadian work visa that is designed for people who already have a temporary work permit in Canada and plan to become a permanent resident. Applicants must have been living in Canada for at least one year, have work experience within Canada, and must meet the requirements for fluency either the English or French languages.

Permanent Residence

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.
