How to apply for Canada PR in simple steps?

Permanent Residency Visa in Canada is one of the most sought-after categoriesfor skilled foreign workers. It is a multiple entry visa that allows a skilled immigrant to live, work and study anywhere in Canada indefinitely.

Moreover, once you have lived in Canada for a minimum of 3 years out of the past 5 years, i.e., 1,095 days as a PR visa holder, you become eligible to apply Canadian citizenship as well.

In this blog, we’ll be explaining how you can apply for Canadian PR visa.

In order to apply for Canada’s permanent resident status as a skilled foreign worker, you may choose the Express Entry pathway, which is one of the simplest and fastest Canadian immigration option.

Let's have a look at the steps.

Step 1- As an interested candidate, you must create and submit an Express Entry profile online and enter the pool of candidates. To qualify, you must meet the minimum eligibility criteria of any one of three economic immigration programs managed under Express Entry:

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

It is similar to submitting an EOI (Expression of Interest) to notify the government of Canada that you are interested in becoming a permanent resident.

Once you submit your profile, you will be awarded with a CRS score and rank among other candidates in the pool. Within approximately two weeks, the Canadian government open regular Express Entry draw to issue Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to invite high scoring candidates.

With an ITA, you will qualify to submit an eAPR, i.e., electronic application for permanent residence of Canada.

Step 2- After receiving an ITA, you must submit a final and complete eAPR along with the supporting documents and application fees.

At this stage, the IRCC validates all the information and documents provided by you. After this, you will be granted a Canadian PR visa approval.

If you are willing to make a move to Canada with your loved ones and enjoy a better quality of life, you may choose Federal Skilled Worker Program under Express Entry. Since FSWP doesn’t need you to have any prior connection to Canada, it becomes easier to meet the eligibility requirement and qualify.
