Canada Permanent Residency (PR) allows individuals to live, work, and study anywhere in the country on a long-term basis. A PR Visa is a highly sought-after pathway for those aiming to settle in Canada permanently. It is initially granted for five years and can be renewed or lead to Canadian citizenship. There are multiple routes to apply for PR, such as the Express Entry system, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), and Family Sponsorship. Each option is designed for different applicant profiles and offers distinct advantages based on your skills, background, and immigration goals.

Your step-by-step guide to Canadian Permanent Residency
An Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) verifies that your foreign academic qualifications are equivalent to Canadian education standards. This is mandatory for Express Entry applicants who studied outside Canada.
Proving your ability to communicate in English or French is essential. You must take an approved language test, and your scores are converted into Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) levels.
Canada offers over 80 immigration programs, including Express Entry and PNPs. An eligibility check helps identify the best route for your profile.
Once you meet eligibility, create an Express Entry profile on the IRCC portal to enter the candidate pool.
Your profile remains active in the pool for 12 months. Update it if your circumstances change (new job, language test, etc.)
The PNP allows provinces to nominate candidates based on local labor market needs, giving you 600 additional CRS points.
