Find the pathway that matches your profile — from skilled workers to students, families, and visitors.
Canada's flagship points-based immigration system for skilled workers. The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores candidates on age, education, language, and work experience. Top-ranking candidates receive Invitations to Apply (ITAs) through regular draws.
Each Canadian province and territory (except Quebec and Nunavut) operates its own immigration streams targeting workers, graduates, and entrepreneurs who meet local economic needs. A provincial nomination grants 600 additional CRS points.
A Canadian work permit lets foreign nationals work legally in Canada for a specified employer and duration. Permits may be employer-specific (closed) or open to any employer. Many work permit holders transition to permanent residence.
A study permit allows international students to pursue education at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada. Graduates can transition to a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and ultimately permanent residence.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor eligible family members — spouses, common-law partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents — to become permanent residents of Canada.
A Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), commonly called a tourist or visitor visa, allows foreign nationals from visa-required countries to visit Canada for tourism, family visits, or business for up to 6 months.
