  • Eligibility for Canadian Citizenship
A Canada PR visa enables you to live in the country for five years. This also makes you eligible for Canadian citizenship only if you have physically lived 1,065 days (3 years) in Canada out of five. The five years are counted preceding the date you filed your citizenship application in Canada.

  • Ways to Get Canada PR
Canadian immigration offers multiple ways to become a permanent resident in Canada. The most popular is the Express Entry Program, which is further categorized into three categories. This program is the most efficient way to migrate to Canada from India.

Ways to Get Canada PR

Here are the three categories of the Express Entry Program -

  • Canadian Experience Class
  • Federal Skilled Workers Program
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program
Apart from Express Entry, if you wish to live in a certain province in Canada, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are available. Unlike Express Entry which allows you to live anywhere in the country, PNP only gives you the right to live in a province from which you get the nomination. Candidates can apply to the PNPs first and from there move through Express Entry, or do both simultaneously.
