Canada Skilled Migration visa

Home / Canada Skilled Migration visa

Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories

Canada’s skilled immigration combines Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) to select qualified professionals for permanent residence (PR). If you’re in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or anywhere in the GCC, we help you choose the fastest path, prepare documents, and submit compliant applications with fewer delays.

Which program fits you?

Express Entry

FSW/CEC/FST selection via CRS; fastest route for many.

Provincial Nominee (PNP)

Targeted provincial streams; nomination adds +600 CRS.

Study → PR

Canadian credential + PGWP work → CEC/PNP later.

Typical Requirements

  • Language test (IELTS/CELPIP or PTE Core; French: TEF/TCF)
  • Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)
  • Work reference letters proving duties/tenure
  • Police certificates & medical exams
  • Proof of funds (where required)

Note: Eligibility and funds vary by family size and stream. We align your file to current policy.

Education segmentation (CRS strategy)

  • Two or more credentials (incl. one 3+ years) often beats a lone bachelor.
  • Master’s/PhD gives higher core CRS and better PNP targeting.
  • Canadian study + points for French and spouse factors can lift your rank.
  • Correct NOC/TEER mapping of your role + education improves eligibility and points.
 

Express Entry score boosters

  • Higher CLB scores (especially Speaking/Writing)
  • French (TEF/TCF) add-on points
  • Spouse education/language & extra ECAs
  • Provincial Nomination (+600 CRS)

Express Entry Draw Types & “Pickup” System (How ITAs Are Issued)

  • General rounds: Invite top-ranked profiles by CRS across all programs.
  • Program-specific rounds: Target one program (CEC/FST/PNP).
  • Category-based rounds: Focus on FrenchHealthcareSTEMTradesTransportAgriculture/Agri-food.
  • Tie-break rule: If multiple candidates sit at the cutoff, ITAs go to the oldest profile submission time first.
  • PNP effect: Provincial nomination adds +600 CRS and typically guarantees an ITA.

Categories and cutoffs change with labour-market priorities. We track IRCC updates and tune your strategy.
