Canada PR Visa Eligibility Requirements

 

Canada PR Visa Eligibility Requirements

1. Work Experience 

PR applicants must have at least 12 months of full-time work experience. Few occupations require special training or licensing to apply for a PR visa. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) looks at the education required for your job when evaluating your work experience.

In general, the more education and experience required to work for the position, the higher the professional skill level. Certain occupations are less important to Express Entry than skill level. When evaluating your application, the IRCC will compare your professional duties to the NOC description to determine your career and eligibility.

 

2. Language Proficiency 

Applicants must have a working knowledge of English, French, or both languages. To prove this, applicants must submit test scores from the following language testing providers in their Express Entry profile before applying for a visa. 

 

•  The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP),

•  The International English Language Testing System (IELTS),

•  The Test devaluation de francais (TEF) English is widely spoken in Canada.

 

Applicants are tested in four language components: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Applicants must achieve a maximum of 24 points on all four components of their language test in the "first official language" (either English or French) and at least Canadian Language Benchmark Level 7 (CLB). If the applicant achieves her CLB Level 5 in the 'Second Official Language', she can additionally receive 4 points.

 

3. Education Qualification

Applicants must have a Canadian or equivalent educational qualification. Courses must be from an accredited university or institution. Depending on the NOC code, you can also meet the requirements for skill specialization. The agency prescribes certain educational requirements that applicants must meet. To meet these requirements, applicants would need to:

Submit a completed Canadian teaching credential or submit a completed foreign teaching credential and an Equivalence Assessment Report (ECA) issued by a designated assessment agency or agency. Applicants must submit these documents and their application to the Centralized Reception Office (CIO). The equivalence test must be less than five years old at the time the application is received by the Central Admissions Office (CIO).

 

4. Arranged Employment

Arranged employment means you have a "confirmed" offer from a Canadian employer prior to your arrival or are currently working in Canada on a work permit.

In the immigration system, arranged employment he works in two ways.

First, and most importantly, mediated employment allows you to bypass the list of eligible occupations (above). Experience in the listed occupations is not required. He only has experience in either NOC categories A, B, or 0 (see his NOC matrix above for an overview). Second, the job you find also earns points on the Federal Skilled Worker application, regardless of the job you're applying for. points, you will receive a total of 15 points.

 

5. Adaptability & Proof of Funds

Proof of financing, also known as settlement funding, shows that you are not putting a strain on the Canadian economy. Many of Canada's immigration programs require applicants to provide proof of funds to settle in the country. All applicants applying under the Entry Entry System must provide adequate proof of funding.

This allows the principal applicant and his/her family to continue working and living in Canada as permanent residents. Proof of funding/retirement funding is required only from applicants in the FSW/FSTW category. Applicants being processed under the CEC, or applicants with active vacancies, are not required to submit proof of funding in order to have their PR application processed. The amount that must be presented as a leveling fund increases with the number of family members.

 

6. Age

Applicants must be over the age of 18, but not over the age of 49 at the time of application. However, priority will be given to those aged between 25 and 35. In most categories of economic immigration, applicants aged 25 to 35 receive the highest marks. This does not mean that older applicants cannot be selected.

Extensive work experience, strong language skills, Canadian ties, and advanced education can easily make up for lost points in economic immigration due to age. Family Assistance, Humanitarian Aid, and Refugee Immigration to Canada do not use a ranking system, so there are no age penalties.

 

CRS Score

CRS is a performance-based scoring system that gives each candidate in the Express Entry pool a score based on their qualifications. To be eligible for her PR visa for Canada, the applicant must score at least 67 out of 100 for her. You can also earn extra points if you migrate to Canada with your spouse. Earning a postgraduate degree, gaining work experience in Canada through a work permit, improving your English and French skills, or applying for a study permit in-country are strategic options to improve your CRS score.

Anyone who creates a profile in the Express Entry candidate pool will receive her CRS score of 1200. Generally, the Government of Canada conducts an Express Entry Lottery every two weeks, where it distributes Invitations to Apply for Permanent Resident (ITA) and selects the highest ranked individuals. Please note that the IRCC does not announce the date of the draw, the number of ITAs awarded, or the minimum CRS score required prior to each Express Entry round.
