Applying for permanent residency in Canada as a skilled worker typically involves the following steps:
1. Assessment of Eligibility: The first step is assessing your eligibility. This includes checking whether your occupation is classified under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) Skill Type 0, A or B list. It also includes checking if you meet the English or French language proficiency requirements, work experience requirements, and other factors.
2. Creation of Express Entry Profile: If you’re eligible, you need to create an Express Entry profile online. This profile includes information about your skills, work experience, language ability, education, and other details.
3. Receipt of Invitation to Apply (ITA): If you’re among the highest-ranking candidates in the pool, you will be invited to apply for permanent residency.
4. Submission of Permanent Residency Application: After receiving the ITA, you have 60 days to submit your permanent residency application. This application must include all necessary documents such as police certificates, medical exams, proof of funds, etc.
5. Application review: Your application will then be reviewed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This process may take several months.
6. Confirmation of Permanent Residency: If your application is approved, you’ll receive confirmation of your permanent residency status.
7. Landing in Canada: The final step is landing in Canada and beginning your life as a permanent resident.
Remember that each application is unique and may require additional steps or documentation. Consulting a seasoned immigration lawyer can help guide you through the process and ensure that your application has the best chance of success.
