For migrating to Canada you will need Canada PR visa. You can apply and get the visa only if you complete the Canada Immigration Process correctly. For someone who has never applied for the PR visa, this can be a tedious task.

Here are the steps that you need to follow to complete the Canada PR visa process smoothly

Check your eligibility for Canada PR visa:

The first thing that you need to do is check if you are eligible for the Canada PR visa. There are a number of different visa categories. You need to pick the right visa category. You need to check if you are eligible for that visa category.

For example, if you are a skilled worker then one of the fastest ways to migrate to Canada is by applying for the Express entry programme. But you first need to be eligible for that programme. This is a point-based system and only those candidates who score a minimum of 67 points can apply for this programme.

Understand the Canada PR visa procedure thoroughly:

Once you have selected the appropriate visa category the next important thing is to understand the exact process that needs to be followed for that visa category. For example, if you are applying for the Federal Skilled Worker Programme which is based on the express entry system then you need to follow the below-mentioned steps.

  • First, you need to create the express entry profile
  • Your profile will be given points based on different factors. These factors will be age, education, work experience, language proficiency etc. The candidate has to focus on those factors that will help him score more points. The profiles are ranked based on the number of points. More the number of points better the ranking.
  • In the express entry draw the candidates with better ranking will have better chances of selection.
  • The selected candidates will receive an invitation to apply. The candidates who receive the ITA will have to submit their visa application along with the supporting documents within the turnaround time

Make sure that you have all the supporting documents:

Once you know the complete process then the next important thing that you need to do is collect all the required documents. For example if the candidate has a degree from a foreign university then he will have to submit the ECA that is the Education Credential Assessment Report which endorses that the degree from the foreign university is at par with the Canadian degree. The candidate will also have to submit documents like medical certificate, police verification certificate etc. The candidate also needs to make sure that he submits documents like the degree certificate, employment and work experience related documents etc.

These are the basic steps that the candidate needs to keep in mind while applying for the Canada PR visa. Though these steps sound simple they can prove to be rather complicated for a person who is applying for the Canada PR visa for the first time. The candidate needs to remember one very important thing that if there are mistakes in the application then it can even lead to rejection of the application.

Rejection of application is not just a waste of valuable time as well as money. But it also means that the candidate has to again start from scratch. That is the applicant will have to go through the entire process all over again.

In order to avoid all these issues, it is always better to consult a good immigration and visa service provider for Canada Immigration Process formalities. The candidate only needs to ensure that they choose only the best service provider.
