Canada is one of the most multicultural countries globally, with clean and friendly cities, world-class education and universities, a dynamic business environment, and plenty of job opportunities required to increase the labor force, support economic growth, and encouraging innovation. No wonder this country ranks for years in the top five on the international list of Best Countries in the World to Live In.
Canada has long understood the economic and social benefits of migrant workers, bringing knowledge and experience often in shortage among residents. Moreover, its fair immigration policy gives anyone genuinely willing to start a new life in Canada a good chance of achieving their goals for a better future full of opportunities.
Canada offers one of the world’s most open and dynamic immigration systems. As a result, there are many different Canadian immigration pathways for skilled workers, business people, and families. We focus on the main options that may be the best for you.
Skilled workers
The Express Entry system has two primary Permanence Residency categories for the experienced, skilled worker :
1. Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
2. Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
The Government of Canada operates a system of immigration applications called “Express Entry” whose main purpose is to select more efficiently (via the points method) skilled workers, usually with degrees in the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). As a result, high-skilled Workers with a valid job offer from a Canadian employer can increase their chances to achieve the points threshold needed for selection.
Trade workers with at least two years of experience holding a Certified Occupational / Technical / Handicrafts/Trade Certification or Diploma can find the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) as their favorite.
To be eligible to enter your “profile” in the Express Entry system, you must meet various criteria such as age, education, professional occupation, experience, and proven abilities in English or French. That is relevant for you and your partner as well.
The Federal Program for Skilled Workers (FSWP)
This program is for skilled workers with foreign work experience who want to immigrate to Canada permanently. If you meet all the minimum requirements, we’ll then assess your application based on:
• age
• education
• work experience
• whether you have a valid job offer
• English and/or French language skills
• adaptability (how well you’re likely to settle here)
This visa is designed mainly for educated professionals with a proven qualification (Academic degree), experience, and good English.
To check your options, please fill our Eligibility Assessment for Canada.
The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
Across Canada, there is a great demand for skilled professionals holding a trade (vocational) occupation, for example, Electricians, Plumbers, Technicians, Installers, Bakers, etc… This visa fits candidates with good English and more than two years of proven experience.
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
This is the second leading stream for immigration into Canada as a skilled worker after “Express Entry.” In addition, this program allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada and who are interested in settling in a particular region.
We study your profile and goals to help determine your ideal stream from the following sub-categories:
• British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)
• Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
If you are looking to work in Canada, you will probably need a work permit, but before that, you need a genuine job offer from a Canadian Employer.
Our experienced and authorized/licensed Canadian Immigration Firm that we collaborate with can assist you where to start after you have the job offer in hand.
To find a job in Canada, we advise you to follow these steps:
Step 1: Check what kind of Work Permit do you need?
Step 2: Update your CV using the Canadian format.
Step 3: Choose which companies and position you want to apply for
Step 4: Get to Work on Networking
Step 5: Make sure your Qualifications are accredited.
Please note: A Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident can do the job, proving that hiring a foreign worker is necessary.
The federal government created the Canadian Immigrant Investor Program to attract business people and entrepreneurs to Canada to contribute to the Canadian business ecosystem.
Under the program, successful applicants and their families received permanent and unconditional Canadian residential visas and were eligible to obtain Canadian citizenship later on.
Some of the selection criteria may include a demonstration of business experience, minimum personal net worth, and other mandatory visa requirements such as health and character.

By submitting a complete study permit application a few months before your anticipated study start date, you can expect a decision from CIC in time to attend your first semester.
