Work Pathway

The work immigration pathway begins with obtaining a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), necessary for many employers hiring foreign workers. With a positive LMIA, you can apply for a work permit to work legally in Canada. If you aim for permanent residency, we assist with Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applications. We simplify each step to help you secure employment and achieve permanent residency in Canada efficiently.

Study Pathway

The student immigration pathway starts with a study permit, allowing you to study at a designated institution in Canada. After completing your studies, you can apply for Post-Graduation Permit (PGWP) to gain Canadian work experience. This experience can support future permanent residency applications, like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP). We you at every stage, ensuring a smooth transition from student to skilled professional in Canada.

frequently asked questions

What are the eligibility criteria for Express Entry?

To qualify for Express Entry, you must meet the criteria for one of the three programs: Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, or Federal Skilled Trades. This generally includes having at least 1 year of skilled work experience, passing a language test, and having your education assessed (if completed outside Canada).

How do I move from a work/study permit to permanent residency through Express Entry or PNP?

Once you have sufficient Canadian work experience (usually 1 year), you can create an Express Entry profile and submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for a PNP. Receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) or a provincial nomination can lead to permanent residency.

What is the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), and how can I improve my score?

The CRS is a points-based system used to rank candidates in Express Entry. It awards points for factors like age, education, work experience, and language ability. To boost your score, you can improve language test results, gain more Canadian work experience, obtain a job offer, or secure a provincial nomination (worth 600 points).

Can I apply for both Express Entry and a PNP at the same time?

Yes, you can apply for both. In fact, securing a PNP nomination adds 600 points to your CRS score in Express Entry, which can greatly increase your chances of receiving an invitation for permanent residency.

Do I need a job offer to apply for Express Entry?

No, a job offer is not required to apply for Express Entry. However, having a valid job offer can add additional points to your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, which may increase your chances of receiving an invitation.

Can I change provinces after receiving a PNP nomination?

PNP nominations are province-specific, so if you receive a nomination, it’s expected that you intend to live and work in that province. Moving to another province soon after obtaining permanent residency may affect future interactions with immigration services, as each PNP is designed to address specific provincial labor needs.
