Home / Canada Visas
Canada offers a high quality of life, strong job market, world-ranked universities, and multiple pathways to permanent residence (PR)—including Express Entry (FSW/CEC/FST), Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), study-to-PR, work permits, investor and the Start-Up Visa for entrepreneurs.
From anywhere in the UAE or GCC, Continents Gateway helps you choose the fastest, most suitable program, prepare evidence-ready files, and submit compliant applications that minimize delays.
Canada at a Glance: Provinces & Territories
Canada has 10 provinces — Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan — and 3 territories — Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon. Many provinces run PNP streams aligned with national priorities and labour needs.
For qualified professionals via FSW/CEC/FST and Provincial Nominee Programs. Boost your CRS with higher language results, multiple ECAs, French, Canadian study/work, or a PNP nomination.
For entrepreneurs/investors via provincial entrepreneur streams and federal Start-Up Visa (SUV). Establish/acquire a business and meet performance conditions (PNP), or secure a designated organization’s support (SUV).
Study at a DLI, gain Canadian experience using a PGWP (if eligible), then apply through CEC or a suitable PNP. We help select programs aligned with employability and PR pathways.
Employer-sponsored LMIA permits and Intra-Company Transfers (ICT) build Canadian experience that can lead to PR via CEC/PNP. Timing and documentation are critical.
Short-term stays for tourism, family visits, or meetings. Useful for exploratory trips, campus visits, or settlement planning toward an eligible long-term pathway.
Innovative entrepreneurs can obtain PR with a designated organization’s Letter of Support. Minimums: VC ≥ CAD 200,000, Angel ≥ CAD 75,000, or Incubator acceptance (no set investment). We prepare compliant materials and arrange incubator pathways.
Permanent residents/citizens can sponsor a spouse or common-law partner. Evidence of genuine relationship and admissibility is required.
Spouses of eligible students/workers can work in Canada without an LMIA. Renewals require proof that the principal’s status/eligibility continues.
For graduates of eligible programs to gain Canadian experience—often the missing link to CEC/PNP PR. Duration usually depends on program length.
PGP requires an invitation and income thresholds; when closed, the Super Visa allows long multi-year stays for parents/grandparents.
