There is good news for individuals looking to relocate to Canada, as the Canadian government plans to welcome over a million newcomers between 2021 and 2023. The year 2021 is likely to be the greatest time to consider moving to Canada from Singapore.
Canada intends to welcome 1,233,000 new permanent residents in its immigration goals for the years 2022-2023. As a permanent resident in Canada you will get the following benefits: In the future, you may apply for Canadian citizenship. You have the freedom to live, work, and study anywhere in Canada. Citizens of Canada are eligible for healthcare and other social benefits. Legal protection in Canada The PR visa does not make you a Canadian citizen; you will continue to be a citizen of your home country. Here are some ways by which you can migrate to Canada from Singapore:
The first step in the process to migrate to Canada is to calculate your eligibility for applying to these programs. Check your eligibility
Express Entry program: With 108,500 ITAs granted so far in this year alone, the Express Entry system is contributing 332,750 Invitations to Apply (ITA) toward the over 1.23 million government target. The Express Entry method is one of Canada's most popular immigration programs. The Canada Express Entry Program grades PR applicants using a points-based methodology. Qualifications, experience, Canadian employment status, and provincial/territorial nomination all help applicants receive points. The more points you have, the more likely you are to receive an invitation to apply (ITA) for permanent residency.
A Comprehensive Ranking Score or CRS, is used to assign points to applicants. There will be a minimum cutoff score for each Express Entry draw. All applicants with a CRS score equal to or higher than the cutoff level will receive an ITA. If more than one nominee has a score equal to the cutoff, the one with the longest presence in the Express Entry pool will be granted an ITA. To apply under the Express Entry system, you do not need an employment offer in Canada. However, depending on the skill level, a job offer in Canada will enhance your CRS points from 50 to 200. Express Entry streams are also available in Canada's provinces to assist them in selecting talented people from the Express Entry pool. A provincial nomination boosts the CRS score by 600 points, ensuring an ITA. With each Express Entry draw which is conducted every two weeks by the Canadian government, the CRS score changes. You can, however, enter Canada on a work permit and then seek for permanent status later. You must have a job offer in Canada to obtain a work permit.
Provincial Nominee Program: The Provincial Nominee Program permits you to live and work in Canada if you are a skilled or semi-skilled worker with a valid employment offer that is in demand in a certain province or territory. Each province/territory has its own PNP, which comprises a list of in-demand jobs that are customized to the labor market's individual demands. If the province thinks your abilities are a good match for their needs, they'll give you a provincial nomination, which will give you 600 of the total 1,200 points you'll need on your CRS, allowing you to move up the candidate pool.
Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) allows you to apply for migration. The FSTP is for skilled individuals in a variety of occupations who can submit their profiles and be considered for an invitation to apply or ITA for a visa. The selection is based on a lottery mechanism, however the chances of being chosen are high due to a labor shortage in several occupations in Canada. On a monthly basis, the Canadian government publishes a list of skilled trades that are experiencing labor shortages. International employees and those with a temporary work visa can apply in the FSTP based on this list to determine if they have a possibility of being picked. The skilled trades list is based on the National Occupational Classification (NOC) list of Canada. If you obtain a permanent resident visa under the Federal Skilled Trades Program, you will be able to live and work in Canada and, after a few years, you will be eligible to become a Canadian citizen.
Quebec Skilled Worker Program: This immigration program was created with the goal of encouraging more people to come to Quebec and settle without having to go through the lengthy immigration process. Skilled workers can apply for the Quebec Selection Certificate (Certificat de sélection du Québec) through this program. In order to migrate to Quebec, candidates do not need to have a valid work offer. The QSWP, like the Express Entry System, is based on a points-based system.
Business Immigration Program: The Canada Business Immigration Program allows people who want to do business in Canada to apply for a permanent residency visa. This program was created to help migrants who want to invest or start a business in Canada. To start and run a firm in Canada, they must be high net worth individuals or have commercial or managerial experience. This type of visa is only available to three groups of persons, according to the Canadian government. Investors Entrepreneurs Self-employed persons Visa for Entrepreneurs The Startup Visa program encourages immigrant entrepreneurs to expand their firms in Canada. Successful candidates will be able to form a partnership with a private Canadian investor to acquire financing and business guidance. They can approach three different sorts of private sector investors:
