Ways to immigrate to Canada from India
Canada is one of the most hospitable countries in the world for immigrants from India or any other country. Consult with Canada visa consultants about the process. More than 300,000 newcomers arrive in Canada each year, with 85,000 from India. India is known as the top sourcing country for immigrants to Canada due to their fluency in English, professional work experience, and high educational level.
Canada’s Express Entry- an ideal pathway for India nationals
By far the most popular option for Indian skilled workers to apply for permanent residency in Canada is through the federal Express Entry System. It's an online application management system created by the Canadian government to manage and process permanent residence applications from skilled applicants under the following economic immigration programmes:
- Federal skilled workers program
- Federal skilled trades program
- Canadian experience class
Since Canada announced that it will welcome around 108,500 newcomers via Express Entry by the end of 2021, the IRCC has been running historically big Express Entry lotteries to meet the annual target. Before applying check your CRS points using CRS score calculator.
As a result, we strongly encourage all aspiring individuals and families to prepare and submit their profiles to the Express Entry applicant pool as soon as possible!
The entire process could take up to 12-18 months from the time you decide to migrate to Canada through Express Entry until you receive permanent residency clearance from the IRCC (Immigration, Refugee, Citizenship Canada).
Understanding Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
The FSWP, which is administered through the Express Entry system, is one of the most popular options for people who live outside of Canada and have no previous ties to the country, such as:
- Any past study completed in Canada
- Any past work experienced gained in Canada
- Any family member or relative living in Canada
You must meet the minimum language skills (English or French), educational credential assessment, and skilled job experience requirements to be eligible for the FSWP.
You'll be assigned to a pool of candidates after meeting the qualifications, where the IRCC will assess each profile and provide a score and rank based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
If you get a minimum CRS score in your EE draw, the IRCC will issue you an ITA (Invitation to Apply), and you'll have 90 days to submit an eAPR (Electronic Application for Permanent Residence), along with supporting documents and fees.
