• The first thing you need to create an Express Entry profile. You will need to provide specific details about yourself such as age, language ability, educational qualification, work experience etc. Make sure all the info you provide can be verified with actual documents. They will ask for these once your profile is undergoing verification.
• To complete the profile you are going to need a number of documents. Here’s the list:
  • Language tests with scores above the minimum cut-off in English or French or Both.
  • A valid job offer letter from a Canadian employer.
  • Educational Credential Assessment reports that show that your educational qualificationsare equal to the Canadian education system.
  • Medical and police clearance certificates
  • Authenticated passports.
  • Documents showing you have enough funds to support yourself and your family for at least 3 to 6 months (only for Occupation in-Demand stream)
  • A valid Provincial Nomination (only for PNP stream)
• Once you have completed your profile, the Canada immigration authorities will assess it and give you a CRS score. This score will ultimately decide whether you get selected for immigration to Canada or not.
• If your job is in high demand apply for PR through the Occupation in-Demand category. If you want to move to a particular part of Canada or want to ensure immigration, apply for a Provincial Nomination.
• Once you have completed all the formalities, just wait for the Express Entry draws. When the draws are held, if you are selected, you will get an Invitation to Apply or ITA, after which you will have 90 days to apply for the PR visa. Once you get the visa, you will have another 12 months to move to Canada.

Now that you have a basic idea of the Canada immigration process, let us tell you how we at Nationwide Immigration can help you get selected for immigration to Canada in 2018.

Immigration Program for Immigration to Canada from USA

Canada immigration offers many pathways for entry into Canada as Permanent Residents. Here are some of the most prominent programs that are ideal for applicants from USA:

Express Entry

The Express Entry program is the main system for entry into Canada as Permanent Residents. No matter which country you are applying for a PR visa from, the Express Entry program will help you ensure the fastest immigration times. The Express Entry immigration system is rather simple and that is why it is also very effective. Here are the most important aspects of it:

• Immigration to Canada through Express Entry is done through the Comprehensive Ranking System or CRS. This system gives point scores to applicant profiles on the Express Entry based on specific factors like age, language ability, educational qualification, work experience etc.
• Based on this score and the mean cut-off issued by the IRCC, selections for immigration to Canada with PR visa are made. So, if the cut-off is 446 and your CRS score is above that, then you will get selected for immigration during the Express Entry draws. These draws are held once every 15 days.

Provincial Nomination Program (PNP)

It is possible to guarantee selection through the Express Entry program for immigration with Canada PR, if you have a Provincial Nomination. Almost all Canadian provinces offer a PNP and make their selections as per the quota given to them by the federal government. Some of the most popular PNPs in Canada are:

• Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)
• Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)
• Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
• Maintoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)
• British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP)

Each of these programs has their own eligibility criteria and application process. We highly recommend you get in touch with out Canada immigration experts at Nationwide Immigration to find out which PNP would suit you the best.

Now, let us talk about the immigration pathways to Canada offered by the PNPs. There are two main sub-categories in every PNP. They are:

• Express Entry

This stream is meant for those professionals who have been accepted into the Express Entry program but have not yet been selected for immigration to Canada with PR. When you apply for a PNP, you will require an Express Entry Profile Code and Job Seeker Validation Code. Follow the application procedure to get nominated for a PNP. If you get selected, you will get 600 points which will be added to your overall CRS score in Express Entry. This will guarantee you immigration when the next draws take place.

• Occupation in-Demand

This stream is also meant for skilled professionals. You must match the minimum requirements for being able to secure a job in Canada once you have moved there. Every PNP issues a list of the most in-demand jobs in its region. Check this list to find out if your occupation is in high demand in that province. If it is and if you match the minimum criteria, then you can apply for PNP through this category. If you get selected, you can apply directly for Canada PR to the IRCC.

• Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)

The QSWP is not part of the Express Entry program. It has its own eligibility criteria for selecting candidates. While this criteria is similar to the Express Entry criteria, it also has its own unique features. If you are selected for immigration to Quebec through QSWP, you will get a Quebec Selection Certificate or CSQ. After you get this, you can directly apply for immigration Canada as a PR to the IRCC.
