Permanent Residency
Canada plans to welcome 500,000 new immigrants each year! There are different ways to become a permanent resident in Canada, and the Volker Immigration Team is here to make it easy for you. As a permanent resident, you get similar benefits to citizens, like healthcare coverage. You can live, work, or study anywhere in Canada, apply for Canadian citizenship, and have protection under Canadian law and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Express Entry
Express Entry is an online system employed by the Canadian government to streamline and handle applications from skilled workers seeking to immigrate to Canada and obtain permanent residence. This system oversees three key federal economic programs:
- Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)
- Federal Skilled Trades (FST)
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
Our team will create an Express Entry Profile and evaluate your current CRS score to determine whether you qualify under any of the three streams.
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
Canada's provincial nominee programs (PNPs) provide a route to Canadian permanent residence for those looking to immigrate to a particular province or territory. Each province and territory administers its unique PNP tailored to address its specific economic and demographic requirements. Contact us to learn about the process of immigrating to Canada through a provincial nominee program.
