Canada Immigration from Australia

Canada is known for being the most welcoming country for immigrants worldwide. In 2022, Canada welcomed 437,180 new immigrants and is planning to get a total of 1.5 million immigrants by 2025.

Canadian immigration has many pathways that enable immigrants to get permanent residency in this beautiful country. From reaching Canada on a Canada work visa or a Canada student visa to becoming a Canada PR visa holder, the journey of calling Canada your new home is fascinating. You, too, can try the most popular immigration pathways to Canada, the Canada Express Entry or the Canada Provincial Nominee Program to become a Canadian permanent resident.

Immigrate to Canada - Express Entry

Canada Express Entry is an online immigration application management system that receives applications from skilled workers. Under Express Entry, three sub-programs are mentioned below:

• Canada Experience Class: These are for those candidates with Canadian work experience.
• Federal Skilled Worker Program: The program is for skilled workers from outside Canada and is eligible to immigrate to the country.
• Federal Skilled Trades Program: This program is for skilled workers qualified in a skilled trade.

After the candidates submit their applications, a profile is created in the Canada Express Entry system and sent into the Express Entry pool. Then the candidates from the Express Entry pool will be invited as and when a requirement comes up at the federal or provincial level. After this, the immigration candidates can apply for a Canada PR visa.
