Immigrations to Canada Options for Pakistani Nationals

The Canadian government offers various options through which Pakistani residents can move to Canada on immigration. The three broad categories include:

Immigration through a work permit
Immigration through a study program
Immigration through family sponsorship.

The Express Entry Program

Primarily, if Pakistani nationals wish to migrate to Canada, they need to apply through the “Express Entry” online applications.

To apply via the Express Entry program, the applicant has to create a Profile to apply for Permanent Residence (PR) status.

The points awarded to each category in this Comprehensive Ranking System will sketch the applicant’s standing. These points are granted on several factors like previous work experience, skills, training, financial status, etc.

Canadian Government offers to apply for permanent resident status to applicants scoring the highest number of total points.

The programs offered are as follows:

(FSW) Federal Skilled Worker Class
(FST) Federal Skilled Trades Class
(CEC)Canadian Experience Class
(PNP)Provincial Nomination Program
Family Sponsorship

The Express Entry Procedure:

The Express Entry will assess the eligibility of the applicant based on education, work experience, and language proficiency. The applicant has to submit valid documents like educational certificates, financial statements, language test scores, job offers, health reports to gain points in the express entry process. This will create the applicant’s profile.

Once the profile is completed, it is uploaded to the website.
Then the applicant has to wait to receive the invitation to apply.
Once the applicant gets the invitation he or she becomes eligible to apply for permanent residence.
An online form is available for the applicant. The candidate has to pay application fees while applying.
When the application is approved, the applicant has to appear for Interviews at various levels.
If the applicant passes the interview sessions he/she becomes eligible to enter Canada.

Canadian Citizenship through Study Programs

Canada offers some practical options through which international students can get an opportunity to get Permanent Residence in Canada.

International students who want to reside permanently in Canada need a study permit to pursue their studies in Canadian Universities.

To get a study permit the student needs to apply online, no matter if the student is living in Canada or residing in his home country.

Along with the online application, an international student has to submit some essential documents.

These include:

The letter of acceptance issued to you by the Canadian institution {(DLI) designated learning institution}.
Document showing the proof of identity
evidence of financial support

An email will be sent to the student to confirm what he/she needs to submit. The deadline is revised if the student provides a valid reason for the delay especially if he/she is affected by COVID-19. If the application is approved, the study permit is issued to the applicant. The permit, however, is issued at the port of entry when you arrive in Canada or is mailed to the applicant who is residing in Canada

Students who have applied for their study permit from outside Canada will get a port of entry letter of introduction. The students need to show the letter to a border services officer when they arrived in Canada. As well, an electronic travel authorization (eTA) or a visitor visa (temporary resident visa) is also issued to enter Canada.

The COVID –Based Regulations.

The regulations for a study permit, however, are updated regularly especially after the COVID scenario. An international student with an approved study permit is exempted from the travel restrictions. This clause is applied to students who have already received their study permit or their study permit is approved before March 2020. On the other hand, international students residing in Canada can apply for the renewal of their study permit; these students are allowed to continue their studies and work while the renewal is under process. International students holding a study permit issued after March 18, 2020, are not permissible to enter Canada due to COVID restrictions.

The airline requirements and a health check are necessary before boarding.
COVID Vaccination is mandatory for every applicant
