Here are some ways I will discuss today that U.S. residents and citizens can use to move to Canada each year, including over the past year during the coronavirus pandemic, when tens of thousands of U.S. residents and citizens moved to Canada to immigrate, work, and study. If you're among those in the United States looking to head north, here's an overview of the most popular options.
1. Immigrating to Canada as a skilled worker
Both the United States and Canada are federal countries, but Canada is different because its provinces and territories are allowed to choose immigrants.
This explains why Canada has over 100 different merit-based immigration pathways for foreign nationals who want to immigrate to Canada for economic reasons.
Canada's more than 100 economic class networks evaluate candidates on their human capital factors, including age, education, language skills, and work experience.
While having a valid job offer can help you in the immigration process, the vast majority of successful economic immigrants arrive in Canada without rearranging employment. Canada's main pathway for U.S. Citizens and residents have express entry to immigrate as skilled workers.
Express Entry is the primary way Canada manages applications for skilled workers, and is run by the federal Department of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. They use selection factor points to determine your eligibility for the federal skilled worker program. Once you're in the Express Entry pool, they use a different system to rank your profile.
They select the top-ranked candidates from the pool and invite them to apply for permanent residency. The Provincial Nominee Program is the next most common way for economic class immigrants to move to Canada.
Almost every province and territory operates a pnp Canada's provincial designation programs offer a pathway to Canadian permanent residency for individuals who are interested in immigrating to a specific Canadian province or territory. Each Canadian province and territory operates its own PNP, designed to meet its specific economic and demographic needs.
Each has its own selection criteria tailored to the labor market needs of their jurisdiction. Successful applicants receive a provincial nomination certificate. They then submit the certificate with their permanent residence application. If you are eligible for Express Entry, it may be a good idea to submit an Express Entry Profile.
While in the Express Entry pool, a province or territory may decide to invite you to apply to their PNP, which will give you an additional 600 points under Express Entry and is pretty much guaranteed. That you will obtain permanent resident status.
2. Immigrating to Canada under the family class
Canada's second leading immigration category is the family class. Spouses and partners of Canadian citizens and permanent residents make up the majority of family class immigrants, and Canada allows its citizens and permanent residents to sponsor dependent children, parents and grandparents.
3. Moving to Canada with a work permit
Work permits in Canada fall into two categories: The first category involves a labor market impact assessment. The federal government of Canada uses LUMA to determine how the employment of foreign workers may affect the wages and employment of workers in Canada.
Some job offers require a background check, and so employers in Canada are required to obtain a positive or neutral check before applying to the federal government and bringing a foreign worker into the country.
The second type does not require tragedy. Under this category, lumias are not required by Canada's economic and social interests. For example, US citizens may be eligible for an EMEA-exempt work permit under the former Nafta, now known as the United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement. US citizens have more flexibility to work in Canada under the USMA if they have employment available through their current employer or a new one, or if they are going to conduct substantial investment or trade with Canada.
4. Becoming a Canadian citizen
Citizens born in the US and living with Canadian parents are automatically eligible for Canadian citizenship by submitting proof of citizenship application. Provides one of the access routes.
Upon obtaining permanent residence, you may be eligible for Canadian citizenship after living in Canada for at least three years. Over the past five years, about 85 percent of Canadian immigrants have become citizens.
