Permanent Residence in Canada

Immigration Consultants / Lawyers in Pickering, Ontario

Canada embraced hundreds of thousands of permanent immigrants

Canada has welcomed thousands of permanent immigrants over the past several years. With our immigration system designed to enrich and strengthen Canadian society's social, economic, and cultural fabric, we can expect to see a continued pattern of immigrants worldwide.

If you are a professional business investor and have an education, skill, or relevant work experience, you could be eligible to apply under one of the existing Economic Immigration Programs available to qualified persons. Alternatively, if you wish to be with your family in Canada, you may be eligible to immigrate under a Family Sponsorship pathway.

Permanent residents legally immigrate to Canada, have been given Permanent Residency status, and are not yet Canadian citizens. Permanent residents must maintain their residency status and live in Canada (with some exceptions) for at least two years within five years or risk losing quality. One of several ways to become a Canadian citizen is through a process known as Naturalization which allows qualified Permanent Residents to apply for and become Canadian citizens.

Several immigration programs allow eligible foreign nationals to immigrate to Canada permanently. Some are federal, and others are provincial. Some of the regional nomination programs include the following:

• British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program
• Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program
• Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program
• Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program
• Ontario’s Pilot Provincial Nominee Program
• New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program
• Nova Scotia Nominee Program
• Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program
