Canada is famous for its abundant resources, job options, comfortable living conditions, free healthcare, and quality educational opportunities. It has a comparatively small population in comparison to its resources and size, so it invites immigrants from all around the world to help improve its economy while providing them with the best lifestyle possible.

However, in order to receive the best of what Canada offers, immigrants must apply for Permanent Residency Visa in Canada.

What is a Permanent Residency Visa?

A Permanent Residency Visa is a permit that allows individuals to legally stay and work in Canada permanently despite the fact that they are not citizens of the country.

The individual is referred to as a permanent resident of the country but is not a citizen.

Only after becoming a permanent resident can you apply for citizenship.

There is a difference between PR and citizenship.

• The first step toward becoming a citizen is to obtain a PR.

• Citizens can participate in politics, but PR holders cannot.

• Certain rules and regulations must be followed in order to maintain PR, but citizenship is not required.

• Although PR can be revoked, citizenship can only be revoked if the individual renounces it.

• Canadian citizens can apply for a Canadian passport, but permanent residents cannot.
  

Let us now discuss the easiest ways to obtain Canadian permanent residency, namely the Express Entry Program, PNPs, Work permit visas & Quebec Immigration Nominee Program.

What exactly is Express Entry?

Express Entry is one of the best visa programs for skilled foreign workers because it identifies your eligibility based on your education and skills and opens the door for you to work in Canada if you have a pre-holding offer.

One of the basic requirements for this program is prior work experience in order to apply for a similar type of role in Canada.

The Express Entry stream is an online, point-based migration plan, that ranks and invites the candidates according to their CRS scores.

The Express Entry Program controls three federal economic programs, as follows:

Skilled Worker Program (Federal)

The Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program is an immigration route for skilled immigrant workers from all over the world who want to work in Canada for an extended period of time with their spouse/partner and dependent children.

Federal Skilled Trades Training Program

The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) is an immigration route for qualified and experienced international candidates in a skilled trade.

This program is ideal for people who are skilled in a trade or profession.

Canadian Experience Class Program

This program, which is a component of the Express Entry Program, is designed specifically for those who have worked in Canada for a year or have work experience in Canada. If accepted, these applicants will be able to stay and work in Canada indefinitely.

What is Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

Apart from the Federal Immigration Programs, each of Canada's ten provinces and three territories has its own visa programs. Provincial programs are further subdivided into numerous subcategories. Because the provinces have diverse populations with varying religions and customs, their immigration systems are unique and tailored to their economic and demographic requirements.

The PNPs of Canada are:

1. Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)
   
2. British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)
3. Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)
4. New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NW PNP)
5. Newfoundland & Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NL PNP)
6. Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP)
7. Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program (NS PNP)
8. Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (OINP)
9. Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)
10. Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)

Quebec Skilled Worker (QSW)

Quebec, the second-largest French-speaking province, has its own skilled immigrant worker program. It is a provincial immigration program for skilled experienced workers who will make long-term contributions to Quebec's development as part of the workforce.

Work Permits/Work Visa / Internal Transfers

Indian nationals are eligible to apply for a work permit in Canada. To obtain a work permit, you must have a job offer in hand. However, if your employer is part of a multinational corporation headquartered in Canada, you may be eligible for relocation to a Canadian office with minimal paperwork. This is a notable exception to that rule.

There are 100s of Canadian immigration programs and each of them has a different set of rules and regulations. And keeping all the rules and regulations in mind can be very hectic and even a slight mistake in the application form can reject the form. So, it is advisable to consult the best immigration consultant in India, Nationwide Visas for a seamless Canada PR Visa process.
