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.

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.
