Permanent Residence in Canada

Becoming a permanent resident of Canada is a life-changing opportunity, offering you the chance to live, work, and study anywhere in the country on a long-term basis. Permanent residents enjoy many of the same rights and benefits as Canadian citizens, including access to healthcare, social services, and the ability to apply for Canadian citizenship after fulfilling residency requirements.

Who Can Apply for Permanent Residence?

Canada offers several pathways to permanent residence, each designed to meet the needs of different individuals. These include:

  • Express Entry System
    The Express Entry system is for skilled workers, offering a fast-track process for qualified candidates in the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class. Candidates are ranked based on factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency.
  • Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
    If you have a specific job offer or the skills needed in a particular province, the Provincial Nominee Program allows provinces to nominate individuals for permanent residency. This is a popular option for individuals who may not meet the federal Express Entry criteria but have strong ties to a Canadian province.
  • Family Sponsorship
    Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor family members, including spouses, children, parents, and grandparents, to become permanent residents of Canada.
  • Quebec-Selected Skilled Workers
    Quebec has its own immigration programs for skilled workers and entrepreneurs. If you plan to live and work in Quebec, you may need to apply through the province’s specific immigration stream.
  • Atlantic Immigration Program
    For individuals looking to settle in one of Canada’s four Atlantic provinces (Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or New Brunswick), this program provides a pathway to permanent residency for skilled workers and international graduates.
  • Business Immigration
    Entrepreneurs, investors, and self-employed individuals may be eligible for permanent residence through various business immigration programs, including the Start-up Visa program and Provincial Nominee Programs for business owners.
