THE BASICS

Canada is the second largest country in the world with a land area of over 9.9 million square kilometers. However, it has a relatively small population of just over 38 million people.

Immigrating to Canada is moving to Canada (either for education, leisure, anything temporary) or residing there permanently.

The Goverment fee of immigrating via Express entry is about $1,365CAD for a single applicant or $2,730CAD for a couple, this does not include settlement funds which must be shown as part of the eligibility requirements (amount varies by family size), biometrics fees and other miscellaneous fees.

2. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): Here, provinces nominate overseas workers for Canadian permanent residence. There are countless nominee programs offered by the 10 provinces in Canada. Each PNP has its own unique criteria and application processing time. After receiving nomination, candidates must apply to the federal government.
