Canadian Immigration is a promising and exciting opportunity, attracting people worldwide. Canada consistently ranks at the top of global quality-of-life indices. It offers a strong economy, a world-renowned education system, exceptional healthcare, and remarkable cultural diversity, making it the third most diverse country globally. We often refer to Canada as "the Switzerland of the Western Hemisphere" due to its stunning landscapes and exceptional quality of life.

The Canadian Immigration system is renowned for its complexity, yet it serves as a gateway for individuals worldwide to live, work, study, and start anew in this remarkable country. Canada has a highly regulated and comprehensive immigration system aimed at attracting immigrants who can contribute to its economy and society.

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Many Canadian provinces have their own immigration programs, known as Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). These programs cater to the specific needs of each province and may have varying eligibility criteria. Interested in learning more about the programs available in each province?

Express Entry

Canada's Express Entry program manages the selection of skilled workers aiming to immigrate and become permanent residents. This points-based system assesses candidates based on factors like age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and more. The highest-scoring candidates receive invitations to apply for permanent residency through regular draws. There are three federal economic immigration programs under Express Entry:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): Targets skilled workers with foreign work experience to address labor shortages.
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): Focuses on skilled tradespeople seeking permanent residency.
Canadian Experience Class (CEC): Aims at individuals with Canadian work experience who are already familiar with Canadian society. Think you're a potential fit? Let's talk and answer your questions.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship is a popular path for reuniting with family members in Canada. The Canadian government prioritizes family reunification, offering various programs to facilitate sponsorship. This process enables Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents. Once approved, sponsored family members can enjoy the same rights and benefits as Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Schedule a meeting with us to reunite with your loved ones.

Canadian Permanent Residency (PR)

Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) grants individuals permission to live and work in Canada on a permanent basis. PR status affords many of the same rights and benefits as Canadian citizens, including access to healthcare, education, and social services. However, PR status comes with certain residency requirements. To maintain PR status, individuals must reside in Canada for at least two out of every five years. PR status can be lost due to serious crimes or inadmissibility. The next step after PR is citizenship, and we can help. Talk to us now

Business Immigration

Refugee and H&C Programs

Canada offers refugee and Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) programs to protect individuals outside their home countries, facing persecution, risk to life, or cruel treatment.

Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)

The PGWP program allows international students who completed their studies at a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI) to gain valuable work experience in Canada. Eligibility depends on the duration and type of program completed.

Open Work Permits

An Open Work Permit in Canada allows foreign nationals to work for any Canadian employer without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a specific job offer. Open Work Permits are issued to various groups, such as spouses or partners of Canadian citizens, international students with Post-Graduate Work Permits, and more.

LMIA-Based Work Permit

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) assesses the impact of hiring a foreign worker on the Canadian labor market. LMIA-based work permits generally require employers to prove their efforts to hire Canadian citizens or permanent residents before hiring foreign workers.

Work Permit Extension

If you already have a work permit in Canada and wish to extend it, certain conditions must be met. Sood Immigration can assist you in understanding and navigating these requirements.

Canadian Citizenship

Canadian citizenship is the final step in your Canadian immigration journey. To become a Canadian citizen, you must meet specific eligibility criteria, including residency requirements. Canadian citizens enjoy full rights, including the ability to vote in federal, provincial, and territorial elections, and they can apply for a Canadian passport. If you're interested in becoming a Canadian citizen, contact Sood Immigration for guidance on the process and requirements.
