Process of Immigration
The immigration process entails the steps and procedures involved in
relocating to a new country and obtaining legal permission to reside and
work there. It is a comprehensive journey that requires understanding
different types of visas, meeting eligibility criteria, and recognizing the
importance of legal immigration.

Different Types of Visas


There are various types of visas available for immigration, each serving
different purposes:

Work Visas: Work visas are intended for individuals


seeking employment opportunities in a foreign
country. They may include skilled worker visas,
temporary worker visas, or entrepreneur/investor
visas, depending on the specific immigration policies
of the host country.

Student Visas: Student visas allow individuals to study at recognized


educational institutions in another country. These visas typically require
proof of enrolment, sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses,
and sometimes proficiency in the language of instruction.

Family Visas: Family visas facilitate the reunification of families by


allowing eligible individuals to sponsor their close relatives for immigration.
These visas may include spouse visas, parent/child visas, or dependent
visas, depending on the relationship criteria set by the host country.

Tourist Visas: Tourist visas grant individuals temporary entry into a


country for leisure, travel, or visiting purposes. They usually have limited
validity periods and restrict engagement in employment or academic
activities.

Eligibility Criteria: Each visa category has specific eligibility criteria that
applicants must meet. Common eligibility factors include age, education,
work experience, language proficiency, health, and character. These
criteria ensure that individuals who immigrate possess the necessary skills,
qualifications, and resources to contribute positively to the host country.

Importance of Legal Immigration


Legal immigration plays a vital role in society and offers numerous benefits:

Economic Growth: Legal immigrants contribute to


the economy by filling labor market gaps, starting
businesses, and stimulating innovation and
entrepreneurship to increase economic growth and
developm

House, 148 – Barakhamba Road
New Delhi – 110001

Cultural Exchange and Diversity: Legal immigration fosters cultural


exchange, diversity, and social integration. It enriches society by
introducing new traditions, languages, cuisines, and perspectives,
promoting tolerance and understanding.

Security and Order: Legal immigration allows governments to regulate


and manage the flow of people across borders, ensuring national security
and maintaining law and order. It helps prevent illegal activities and
promotes safe migration.

Access to Rights and Benefits: Legal immigrants enjoy the rights,


protections, and benefits provided by the host country. These include
access to healthcare, education, social services, legal safeguards, and
employment opportunities.

Family Reunification: Legal immigration allows families to reunite,


preserving strong familial bonds and ensuring emotional well-being.
Family unity contributes to social stability and cohesion within
communities.

Distinction between Temporary and


Permanent Immigration Options
The distinction between temporary and permanent immigration options
lies in the duration of stay, purpose of stay, eligibility criteria, pathway to
citizenship, and rights and benefits.

Duration of Stay: The primary distinction between temporary and


permanent immigration options is the duration of stay. Temporary
immigration options allow individuals to reside in a country for a limited
period, while permanent immigration options grant individuals the right to
live in the host country indefinitely.

Unit 501, 5th Floor Statesman
House, 148 – Barakhamba Road
New Delhi – 110001

Purpose of Stay: Temporary immigration options are typically designed for


specific purposes, such as studying, working, or visiting as a tourist. These
options often have restrictions on the type of activities an individual can
engage in during their stay. Permanent immigration options, on the other
hand, provide individuals with the freedom to live, work, and pursue
various opportunities without limitations or time constraints.

Rights and Benefits: Permanent immigration options generally offer a


broader range of rights and benefits compared to temporary options.
Permanent residents typically enjoy most of the rights and protections
afforded to citizens, such as access to healthcare, education, social
services, and legal protections. They may also have greater employment
opportunities, the ability to sponsor family members, and more favorable
tax treatment. Temporary immigration options may have limited access to
certain benefits, and the rights and privileges granted are often tied to the
specific purpose of the visa.

1. Canada PR (Permanent Resident)


Canada PR (Permanent Residency) is a status granted by the Canadian
government that allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study in
Canada on a permanent basis. It provides individuals with numerous
benefits, including access to healthcare, social services, and the ability to

In Canada, the process of obtaining


permanent residency is generally
conducted through the Express Entry
system.

New Delhi – 110001

1. Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): For skilled workers with foreign
work experience who meet specific eligibility criteria.

2. Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): For skilled tradespersons who


meet specific eligibility criteria.

3. Canadian Experience Class (CEC): For individuals with Canadian work


experience who meet specific eligibility criteria.

4. Some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Provinces and territories in


Canada can nominate candidates through their own PNP streams, and
those nominees may be eligible to apply through Express Entry.

How does Express Entry system works?


Determine Eligibility: Check if you meet the eligibility criteria of one of the
above programs. The criteria generally include factors such as age,
education, language proficiency, work experience, and adaptability.

Create an Express Entry Profile: If you meet the eligibility criteria, create
an online profile in the Express Entry system. You will provide information
about your skills, work experience, education, language abilities, and other
relevant details.

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Score


CRS Calculator
Calculation: Upon creating your profile, you will be
assigned a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
score based on various factors, such as age,
education, language proficiency, work experience,
and other factors. The CRS score determines your
ranking in the Express Entry pool.

Unit 501, 5th Floor Statesman
House, 148 – Barakhamba Road
New Delhi – 110001

Invitation to Apply (ITA): Regularly, the Canadian government conducts


Express Entry draws and invites candidates with the highest CRS scores to
apply for permanent residency. If you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA),
you will have a specific timeframe (usually 60 days) to submit a complete
application for permanent residency.

Submitting a Complete Application: Once you receive an ITA, you will


need to submit a complete application for permanent residency, including
all the required supporting documents. These documents may include
language test results, educational credentials, work experience letters,
police
certificates, and medical examinations. You will also need to pay the
application fees at this stage.

Application Assessment: After you submit your application, it will be


assessed by the Canadian immigration authorities. They will verify the
authenticity of your documents, conduct background checks, and review
your eligibility based on the program requirements.

Decision and Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR): If your


application is approved, you will receive a Confirmation of Permanent
Residence (COPR). This document allows you to immigrate to Canada as a
permanent resident. You will need to provide your passport and other
requested documents to obtain the COPR.

Landing in Canada: Upon obtaining the COPR, you can


make arrangements to travel to Canada as a
permanent resident. At the port of entry, an immigration
officer will validate your COPR and grant you permanent
resident status.

3. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)


Canada's Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is an immigration program
that allows provinces and territories within Canada to nominate
individuals who have the skills, education, and work experience to
contribute to the local economy and fill specific labor market needs. Each
province and territory has its own PNP, with its own eligibility criteria and
application processes.

Here are key features of Canada's Provincial Nominee Program:

Provincial/Territorial Selection: Provinces and territories in Canada have


the authority to select candidates based on their specific economic and
demographic needs. They can nominate candidates who meet their
eligibility requirements and demonstrate a genuine intention to settle in
the province/territory.

Different Streams and Categories: PNPs offer various streams and


categories that target specific groups of individuals, such as skilled
workers, international graduates, entrepreneurs, and individuals with job
offers in the province/territory. Each stream has its own eligibility criteria,
requirements, and application processes.

Provincial Nomination Certificate: Once nominated


by a province or territory, candidates receive a
Provincial Nomination Certificate. This certificate is a
crucial step towards applying for permanent
residency. It adds additional points to the candidate's
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score in the
Express Entry system, increasing their chances of
receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent
residency.

Express Entry-aligned Streams: Some PNPs have streams that are aligned
with the federal Express Entry system. These streams allow
provinces/territories to select candidates from the Express Entry pool who
meet their specific criteria and issue them a nomination. This integration
facilitates faster processing of applications and enhances the overall
efficiency of the immigration process.

Nominee Obligations: After receiving a Provincial Nomination Certificate,


candidates must fulfill certain obligations, such as submitting a separate
application for permanent residency to the federal government,
undergoing medical and security checks, and meeting other admissibility
requirements.

4. CRS Score & ITA


The CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score is a points-based
system used by the Canadian government to assess and rank Express
Entry candidates for economic immigration programs, such as the Federal
Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the
Canadian Experience Class.

The CRS score is based on various factors, including:

Core Human Capital Factors: These factors include age, education,


language proficiency in English or French (through standardized tests like
IELTS or CELPIP), and work experience. Higher scores are awarded to
younger applicants with advanced degrees, high language proficiency,
and substantial work experience.

Spouse/Common-law Partner Factors: If you are applying with a spouse


or common-law partner, their education, language proficiency, and work
experience can contribute to the overall CRS score.

New Delhi – 110001

Skills Transferability: Additional points can be earned for combinations of


education, language ability, and work experience that are deemed to
enhance an applicant's potential for success in the Canadian labor
market.

Additional Factors: Additional points can be earned for factors like having
a valid job offer in Canada, obtaining a provincial nomination through a
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), or having a sibling who is a Canadian
citizen or permanent resident.

The CRS score is dynamic and can change with each Express Entry draw,
which typically occurs every few weeks. The government sets a minimum
CRS score requirement for each draw, and candidates who meet or
exceed that score are invited to apply for permanent residence.

ITA (Invitation to Apply)


ITA stands for "Invitation to Apply" In the context of Canadian immigration,
an ITA refers to an official invitation issued by the Canadian government to
a candidate in the Express Entry pool to apply for permanent residence.

Here is an overview of how the Invitation to Apply (ITA) process works:

Create an Express Entry profile: Interested


individuals create an online profile in the Express
Entry system, providing information about their
qualifications, work experience, language
proficiency, education, and other relevant details.
Based on this information, candidates are
assigned a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)
score, which ranks them against other candidates
in the Express Entry pool.

info@tc-ww.com
Unit 501, 5th Floor Statesman
House, 148 – Barakhamba Road
New Delhi – 110001

Regular Express Entry draws: The Canadian government conducts regular


draws that have a predetermined minimum CRS score requirement, and
candidates who meet or exceed this score are issued an Invitation to
Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

Receiving an ITA: When a candidate receives an ITA, they will be notified


through their online account in the Express Entry system and by email. The
ITA will specify the program the candidate is invited to apply under (e.g.,
Federal Skilled Worker Program), along with instructions on how to proceed
with the application.

Application submission: Once an ITA is received, the candidate has a


specific timeframe, typically 60 days, to gather the necessary documents,
complete the application forms, pay the required fees, and submit the
application for permanent residence.

Application assessment: After the application is submitted, it undergoes a


thorough assessment by the Canadian immigration authorities. They
verify the information provided, conduct background checks, evaluate
eligibility criteria, and ensure the candidate meets all the requirements for
permanent residence.

Decision on permanent residence: If the application is approved, the


candidate and their accompanying family members will be issued
Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) documents, allowing them
to travel to Canada and become permanent residents. Alternatively, if the
application is rejected, the candidate will be notified of the reasons for the
refusal.
