Permanent residence

Permanent residence lets you live, work and study anywhere in Canada. There is no single route to it, and the best one depends on your work experience, language scores, education, age and where you want to live.

Who we help

  • Skilled workers abroad applying through Express Entry
  • Temporary workers and graduates already in Canada
  • Candidates nominated by a province, or hoping to be
  • Families planning a move together

Routes to permanent residence

Express Entry

The federal system for the Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Trades programs. Candidates are ranked by CRS score and invited in regular draws.

Provincial nominee programs

Provinces nominate candidates who fit their labour needs. A nomination through an Express Entry stream adds a large number of points to your CRS score.

Canadian Experience Class

For people with skilled work experience in Canada, and often the most direct route for workers and graduates already here.

Regional programs and pilots

Programs such as the Atlantic Immigration Program and community-based pilots focus on specific regions and occupations.

Common questions

What is a CRS score?

The Comprehensive Ranking System scores Express Entry candidates on age, education, language, work experience and other factors. Invitations go to the highest-ranked candidates in each draw.

How can I improve my chances?

Common levers are a better language test result, an educational credential assessment, a provincial nomination, French language ability or more Canadian work experience. We look at which of these are realistic for you.

What happens after an invitation to apply?

You have 60 days to submit a complete application with documents, medical exams and police certificates. Preparing these early makes a real difference.
