HOW TO MIGRATE TO CANADA FROM INDIA WITH FAMILY?

 

Canada is one of the leading economies in the world right now. With flooding job opportunities and an ever growing economy, Canada welcomes migrants from all around the world with open hands. With a vast range of visa options to choose from, people from different backgrounds and with different motives to immigrate get a chance to settle in Canada. The country does not limit its aim to only allow people to individually move to Canada but rather gives them a chance to immigrate to Canada with their families (parents/spouse/common-law partner/dependents).

Go through our comprehensive list of immigration programs to gain knowledge on how you can permanently move to Canada along with your families.

 

 

1. Express Entry System

The Express Entry system is a point based program that functions on the basis of ranking given to the applicant according to six important elements. Under the given categories, you have the advantage of not only applying for permanent residence for yourself, but for your family as well. Under the EE System you have three different categories to choose from.

 

Federal Skilled Worker Program

FSW allows candidates to directly apply for the status of permanent resident. Skilled workers who have previous experience in their field of work in their home country can check their eligibility to apply for Canadian PR through Express Entry.

 

Federal Skilled Trades Program

FSTP permits candidate who have previous work experience in a skilled trade, mentioned under National Occupation Classification (NOC), to immigrate to Canada. They get Canada Immigration Points on the basis of six key elements that we will know further in the article.

Canadian Experience Program

CEC is for people who are a Canadian resident and have a prior work experience of working in Canada.

 

2. Family Sponsorship

Canada is giving a chance to the permanent residents of the country to invite their associated people to live in Canada under the status of Canadian permanent residency. This is a great opportunity for people who never wanted to leave behind their family. With decreased processing time, Canada is giving this program their utmost priority. Even during the pandemic, this visa still has the same amount of applications, if not increased.

This program has certain categories under which one can apply for the sponsorship.

  • Sponsor your spouse, partner or dependent children
  • Sponsor you relatives
  • Sponsor you Parents/Grandparents

Other than this, there are a few more not-so-popular categories, but if you think you don’t fall under the above mentioned categories then you can check them out on this website.

 

3. Provincial Nomination Program

The Provincial Nominee Program is a great pathway to opt if you want to migrate to Canada with your family. It offers direct Canadian permanent residency if you get accepted under this scheme.

The Provincial Nominee Program allows candidates who have skills, knowledge and experience to settle with their family members in their province so that they help the economy and finances along with their personal growth. It is for those who want to settle in a particular province and become a permanent resident of Canada.

 

4. Study Permit

Canada has the most liberal policies and the quickest processing time when it comes to giving chances to the youth for a better and bright future. With flooding job opportunities for graduates, education in Canada is now free of a lot of difficulties. Canada has a proven record to give a chance to 130,000 students every year to study in Canada by applying in Top Canadian Universities. The good things don’t stop here. After completion of their graduation students have the chance to apply for permanent residency and even invite their parents and family members to live with them in Canada.

 

5. Canada Start-up Visa

Canada Start-up Visa Program is popular among the entrepreneurs and business minded people who have the time, knowledge and resources to create something clever and imaginative. Under this program, people can enter Canada, start a business and later apply for permanent residency for themselves and their family, if deemed eligible. The target of the government is to attract people who are creative and can prove to be essential for Canada’s economy.
