Canada is fast getting back to its feet since the Corona lockdown. The country still intends to fill its job requirements with the help of foreign skilled professionals while also inviting businessmen; both of which will help achieve economic progress.

Canada, in this pursuit, has released its plans for immigration between 2021–2023. It has come up with its most intricate plan for immigration. By 2023, Canada intends to invite a minimum of 1.2 million new Canada Permanent Residents. This is one of the main ingredients for Canada to recover from Covid-19. It indicates that Canada will be inviting more than 400,000 permanent residents every year.

Canada has always highlighted that economic immigrants actively participate in building the country’s economy. Canada permits all citizens, irrespective of their origin, to participate in the administration of the country. Canada’s growing aged population and low birth rate are triggers for increasing the working population. Permanent Residency is provided to successful immigrants, which can eventually lead to Citizenship.

There has been a huge gap between the number of unemployed and the number of job requirements. Despite this, the country is pursuing ambitious immigration plans to bring in the right workforce. Canada has initiated over 70 immigration programs, with the most sought-after being:

1. Express Entry Program

Express Entry Program was launched in 2015 as a pilot and gained official status in 2017. Applicants must create a profile in the Express Entry system and submit their application or Expression of Interest with supporting documents. Profiles are scored based on multiple factors and ranked in the pool for further processing. Many Canadian immigration programs are tied to Express Entry due to its efficiency.

2. Canada Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Canada PNP started in the mid-1990s. Before PNP, provinces accepted immigrants without selection criteria. Now, provinces can select immigrants based on local needs. Ten provinces participate in PNP, each with multiple pathways for skilled migrants and business immigrants. Selected applicants receive provincial nominations, allowing them to apply for Permanent Residency with IRCC.

3. Rural Northern Immigration Pilot Program

Rural Northern Immigration Pilot is designed to support smaller communities. Immigrants are invited to live and work in these communities, contributing to local development. Applications can be submitted online and must meet regulations specific to each community. It is considered one of the easiest immigration pathways to Canada.

Migrating to Canada is now easier when working with a registered ICCRC firm (Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council). XIPHIAS Immigration is a top immigration firm in India, helping applicants complete the process efficiently with minimal stress.
