I’ve just landed in Canada with a visitor’s visa and I’m eager to start the Permanent Residency (PR) process. Can you guide me on the initial steps to begin my PR application and ensure a smooth transition without returning?

    Hello dear friend,

    Kudos for your Canada Visitor Visa.

    There are multiple ways to migrate once you are inside the country as well as outside. Below are the list of Visa category types and the eligibility criteria:

    1. EXPRESS ENTRY
    • This is a direct PR stream though which you can enter Canada. For this process, you will need Masters equivalent qualification (which you have),
    • IELTS 8777 ( a magical score)

     

    • Age less than 32 years

     

    1. Start Up Visa Stream / Entrepreneur stream:

    Look for an incubator who will fund or back up your Business idea. This is the fastest process currently to enter Canada. Having said that, there is a fees involved for the Incubator. Eligibility is IELTS General 5554, there is no education requirement for this program. The Work Permit is also issued under this program. Effective 26 June 2023, government has amended this program with an Open Work Permit, which means you will get an Open Work Permit for first 10000 applications for the duration of 3 years. Permanent Residency is also guaranteed under Start Up Visa within 12-15 Months but you can be in Canada till then with Work Permit.

                                     

    1. STUDENT VISA:

    If you have a valid Student Visa stamped on your passport you are allowed to book a one way flight ticket to Canada.

    Also, if you think logically, if you are going for a one year or 2 years of Masters study or 3-4 years of Bachelor Study, you will definitely not be sure, when you will be travelling back to your home country. Eligibility for the same is IELTS 6666 Overall 6.5. Having said that, Student Visa is not for those above 28 years old. Anyone above 28 years old, the Visa is difficult.

    1. LMIA WORK PERMIT:

    Same is the case for Work Permit, as your Work Permit might be a closed permit ie, LMIA or LMIA exempt which can be for 1 or 2 years or it can be a Post Study Work Permit which can be for a 2-3 years. Having said that, getting a LMIA Job offer is near to impossible.

    All in all, looking at your scenario, experience and age, Start Up Visa is best option.
