Immigration
Canada is a popular destination for immigrants from all over the world, thanks to its high quality of life, multicultural society, and welcoming attitude. If you are interested in immigrating to Canada, you should know that there are different avenues to come to Canada as an immigrant, depending on your skills, qualifications, and preferences.

Express Entry
This is the fastest and most common way to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker. Express Entry is a system that manages applications for three federal programs: Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trades. You need to create an online profile and submit information about your education, work experience, language ability, and other factors. You will then receive a score based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), and if you meet the minimum requirements, you will be entered into a pool of candidates. Every few weeks, the Canadian government invites the highest-ranking candidates to apply for permanent residence.

Quebec Immigration
Quebec is a unique province in Canada that has its own immigration system and criteria. If you want to live and work in Quebec, you need to apply through one of the Quebec immigration programs, such as the Quebec Skilled Worker Program, the Quebec Experience Program, or the Quebec Entrepreneur Program. You also need to demonstrate your knowledge of French, as it is the official language of Quebec.
​Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP)
This is a new and innovative way to immigrate to Canada as a skilled refugee. The EMPP is a pilot project that allows eligible refugees who have skills and experience in high-demand occupations to apply for permanent residence through existing economic immigration programs. The EMPP works with employers, settlement agencies, and other partners to help refugees access the Canadian labour market and integrate into their new communities.
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
This is another way to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker, but with a focus on the specific needs of each province or territory. Each province or territory has its own PNP streams that target different occupations, skills, and levels of experience. Some PNP streams are aligned with Express Entry, which means you can get additional points for your CRS score if you have a provincial nomination. Other PNP streams are not aligned with Express Entry, which means you can apply directly to the province or territory of your choice.
Family Sponsorship
This is a way to immigrate to Canada if you have a close relative who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Your relative can sponsor you to come to Canada as their spouse, partner, child, parent, grandparent, or other eligible family member. You and your sponsor need to meet certain requirements and prove your relationship is genuine.
