Canada PR Process Demystified

The Canada PR process constitutes a variety of immigration programs that together create an accommodating environment for the different categories of applicants – skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and even family members. Despite all these options, the Express 

Entry system is still the most common and quickest route, which is based on a merit-based selection model that manages three major programs:

• Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
• Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Every program is tailored to its respective applicant, but all of them are ranked through a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which gives points according to the criteria of age, educational background, work experience, language skills, and adaptation.

A Detailed Guide to the PR Process

These are the steps you will need to take throughout the application process:

Eligibility Assessment:

The very first thing that the applicant has to do is to check if they qualify for any of the provincial or federal streams. One of the best ways to find out your ranking score is by using the CRS calculator.

Language Proficiency Test:

It is compulsory for applicants to take one of the approved language tests – IELTS or CELPIP for English, TEF or TCF for French – in order to prove their communication skills, one of the requirements for the CRS scoring.

Educational Credential Assessment (ECA):

All foreign educational credentials must be assessed by one of the approved evaluating bodies (like WES, IQAS, or ICES) to show that they are on par with Canadian educational requirements.

Create Express Entry Profile:

A candidate is now eligible to apply for the online Express Entry profile once they have proved eligibility. The profile will be valid for 12 months, and during that time, the candidate will be ranked against the rest of the applicants in the pool.

Invitation to Apply (ITA):

The candidate who has a CRS score that equals or exceeds the cut-off fixation in a federal draw becomes the lucky holder of an ITA for permanent residency.

Submit PR Application:

The applicant has 60 days to prepare the final PR application along with all supporting documents, including medicals, police clearances, and proof of funds.

Application Processing and PR Visa Approval:

The majority of the PR applications are processed within 6 months from the date of ITA submission. The applicant, in turn, receives a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR), which allows them to organize the relocation to Canada.

Key Canada Immigration Requirements for 2025

The immigration requirements set by Canada may change according to the selected program, but certain general conditions apply to each applicant:

• Age: Younger candidates (under 35) get more CRS points.
• Education: A Bachelor’s degree or higher is required, and it should be assessed through ECA.
• Work Experience: At least 1 year of full-time skilled work experience (NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3) is required.
• Language Proficiency: For FSWP, minimum CLB 7 (IELTS score of 6 in each band).
• Proof of Funds: It is a must for applicants to show that they have enough funds to support themselves and their dependents after going to Canada.
• Medical and Security Clearance: It is compulsory to confirm that the applicants are healthy and that they will not be a security threat to Canada.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) have their own sets of conditions. For example, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan provinces mostly invite skilled workers having specific experience in the shortage occupations. PNPs can give up to 600 additional CRS points, which greatly increases your chances of getting an ITA.
