Frequently Asked Questions

Express Entry is considered the easiest pathway for Immigration, but your circumstances will determine which immigration route is the best for you. When applicants learn that they are not qualified for Express Entry many prospective applicants quickly drop the plan of Immigration. Canada, however, offers more than 100 different immigration routes. You might be eligible for another pathway if you’re ineligible for one. 

Canada accepts immigrants in three categories: economic, family sponsorship, and refugee and humanitarian.

To maintain Canada’s high level of living, skilled workers are welcomed under the economic system. The majority of immigrants that Canada accepts are skilled professionals due to its ageing population and low birth rate. These qualified workers are essential for Canada’s labor force and economic expansion. These qualified individuals come with a strong work ethic, work experience, education, and language skills. Therefore, they are essential to Canada’s efforts to fund social services like universal health care and education as well as economic growth.

The second-largest immigrant class enters the country with the help of Family Sponsorship. Strong families are the foundation of Canadian society and the country’s economy, therefore it is only fitting that loved ones of citizens and permanent residents are welcomed here. Enabling immediate family members to settle in Canada gives families the emotional support they require to prosper in the society and economy of the nation.

The third-largest class is admitted both for humanitarian reasons and as refugees. Since the end of World War II, Canada has a long history of exemplifying humanitarian leadership. As one of the world’s most fortunate countries, Canada has a moral obligation to give refuge to individuals suffering persecution and other hardships. 

You must prove that you have enough funds to settle in Canada. Depending upon your family size the fund requirements may vary.

The table below illustrates the amount of money that the federal government has set up for each size of family:

 It depends on the application pathway you are using. The primary skilled worker pathway in Canada is Express Entry. The ideal age range for Canadian immigration under the Express Entry program is between 25 to 29 years old. If you apply jointly with your spouse or separately, you will receive 100 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points and 110 CRS points, respectively. Below mentioned is the CRS Score awarded to you according to your age:

Age

With a spouse or common-law partner (Maximum 100 points)

Yes, you can apply for permanent residence via Express Entry or the Provincial Nominee Program. In Express Entry, you can initiate your Canada PR process via the Federal Skilled Worker Program or Canadian Experience Class, whereas for PNP, you can check the immigration program of the province from which you completed your education or are currently gaining work experience. In addition to this, it is mandatory to have at least 1 year of full-time, paid work experience as a skilled worker in Canada to gain the benefit of the same experience and score more points, which ultimately increases your chances of becoming a Canadian permanent resident. 

 To qualify for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), you must have at least a total of 12 months of full-time work experience, or its equivalent in part-time work (15 hours per week for 24 months), gained in the past three (3) years from the date of submission of the Canada PR application.

 

Yes, you can apply for the Skilled Worker Program for immigration to Canada without having a job offer. A suitable job offer does help secure additional points but does not guarantee permanent residence in Canada.

Nonetheless, the majority of Express Entry-qualified immigrants don’t require a job offer. Other than Express Entry, there are more than 100 different skilled worker programs in Canada, and you have a chance to immigrate to Canada without a job offer as long as you satisfy the requirements of at least one of the programs and receive a high score for your human capital, which includes your age, education, language proficiency, and work experience.

You can take any of these approved language tests: For English
  • CELPIP – General: Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program
  • IELTS – General Training: International English Language Testing System
For French
  • TEF Canada: Test d’évaluation de français
  • TCF Canada: Test de connaissance du français

In order to accept electronic papers in a safe format from legitimate, approved sources, World Education Services (WES) now collaborates with institutions.

Steps to apply for WES:

  • Log in to your account on an online platform.
  • Choose WES to receive your electronic documents.

If you are unable to select WES as your recipient, you may share your documents with the email addresses on the page that is devoted to required documents, directly from the platform. Documents sent to any other email address will delay processing. As soon as WES receives the link to the documents, they will access them and begin the evaluation. Only when provided directly through your academic institution’s official online platform or a third-party source does WES consider electronic papers to be official.

The Medical Council of Canada, the governing organization for physicians, will have to provide physicians (NOC 3111 or NOC 3112, according to the National Occupational Classification matrix) with their ECA Report.

ECAs will only be accepted from designated organizations:

  • World Education Services (WES)
  • Comparative Education Service (CES) – University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies
  • International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (ICAS)
  • International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS)
  • International Credential Evaluation Service (ICES)
  • Medical Council of Canada (MCC) (professional body for Doctors)
  • Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) (professional body for Pharmacists)

If you want to apply for permanent residency in Canada through Express Entry, without having any connections in Canada, you must select the FSW – Federal Skilled Worker program.

For the FSW stream, you must score a minimum of 67 points, based on factors including level of French or English proficiency, work experience, education, and age.

    First of all we are thankful and really appreciate Peerless work to help us to get Grandparents Visa for Newzealand. First time when I met with Mr Prateek, I was very impressed the way he welcomed me in his office and he explained me all the terms and conditions to get Visa. He is humble and down to the earth person, though I was having different doubts and questions but Mr.Prateek cleared all one by one. After few days one officer assigned to me by Mr. Prateek who is going to deal/help me to prepare all the documents for the submission to get Visa in Newzealand Embassy and she was Ms.Kriti. She is very efficient in her work, she was always available to clear my doubts and questions. Before submission of visa documents she assured herself about the requirements of all papers. She has given us full regards and respect 🙏 all the time. We highly recommend Peerless Service's services. Once again thank you so much PIS. May God bless you all.

    Prateek and Kriti were great!! Prateek took time initially to explain the entire PR process and made sure that I know what my to-dos are before starting anything. They were extremely responsive, and Kriti was assigned to my case- she was always available for a chat and has a keen attention to detail. Loved working with them!

    My interaction with Peerless Immigration Services was wonderful. I got my Canadian Tourist Visa approved within 2 weeks. Initially, I wasn’t confident, but after getting their information through a Google search and speaking with the team about the Canada Tourist Visa, I felt completely confident that I had chosen the right team. They answered all of my questions in great detail, and my case processing officer, Ms. Kriti, also assisted me throughout the process. I greatly value the efforts of the Peerless team and encourage anyone looking for immigration support to sign up for their top-notch services.
