Skilled immigration, study and work permits—no legal advice.

Quick paths

  • Express Entry (FSW/FST/CEC)

    Points‑based system. Create a profile, get CRS score, receive ITA when above cut‑off.

  • Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

    Apply to a province; nomination boosts your CRS score significantly.

  • Study permit → PGWP → PR

    Study at a DLI, get post‑grad work permit, transition to PR via CEC/PNP.

  • Employer‑sponsored work permit

    Job offer and LMIA (where required) → work permit; some streams are LMIA‑exempt.

Core checklist

  • • Passport valid 6+ months; police certs; medical exam (panel physician).
  • • Language test: IELTS test prep or CELPIP.
  • • Education Credential Assessment: WES credential assessment.
  • • Proof of funds (for FSW/PNP without job offer); settlement plan.
  • • Documents: transcripts, work references, CV, letters of explanation.

Costs and timelines

Application fees, biometrics, ECA, language tests, medicals, and proof of funds vary. Processing can take months. Always verify on official sites.
