Provincial Nomination Options
Canada is a federal country which means each province has autonomy to determine their specific immigrant requirements. Even within the various provinces specific area have their own special concessions to attract migrants required by the local economy.
For example:
A student who graduates from Regina University is currently being offered up to a $20,000 tax rebate over the following four years if they decide to remain in Regina and contribute to the local economy by putting their new found skills and qualification to work.
In a small town called Morden, there is no requirement for a job offer to secure an invitation under the provincial nomination programme, virtually guaranteeing a person’s invitation to emigrate to Canada if they agree to settle in the town.
Across Canada in each province, there are opportunities for migrants who want to make Canada their home and are flexible about the province they prepared to live in for the first few years after relocation to Canada. Here is a list of the provincial settlement services sites to help new migrants. These guides may help you decide where you prefer to settle.

Canadian Working Visas
Though skilled employment is a route to a long-term residence visa in Canada, there are also Canadian work visas available for temporary and short-term employment in many areas. The employment route is covered in more detail on other pages but simply put this is the most popular way to immigrate to Canada. There is employer sponsorship which requires a Canadian employer to offer you a job. This is not as hard as it may first sound. Canada is starved of workers and there are thousands of open posts currently available.
Provisional nominations
Another work visas available is the Provincial Nomination. These visas only allow a person live and work within a certain province on arrival in Canada and each province rules and
criteria change from time to time. They also have caps on the number of visas they can issue in any given year. This can be an effective way to live and work in Canada if other routes are closed at the time of application.
Federal Skilled Worker
The most famous and popular working visa in Canada as it allows you to arrive in Canada work freely and live anywhere. These visas are granted to those people on the shortage skills list. As Canada is a growing economy and looking for overseas skills to join them there are often dozens of skill types in demand from tradespeople to professionals. The drawback is that these visas currently can take two years to complete. Once approved, however, Canada is open to you to take full advantage of everything it has to offer.
Express Entry
From 2015 Canadian Immigration focus on the Express Entry structure for immigration control which is based on the Australian model of immigration. The system allows a person to present themselves to the Canada Immigration and when a demand for their skills becomes available they will be issued a work visa. It is important in these cases you prepare your documents perfectly as you will be selected from a large pool of talent and Canada will be care who they pick and grant a work visa to under this scheme as this will be a competitive marketplace for visas.

As a worker, you can apply through the skilled migration scheme or the Provincial Nominee schemes operated by individual Canadian provinces. Long-term residency is also possible for business people or through the Family Class. GlobalVisas.com can guide you through the various paths to immigration and explain the separate arrangements operated by Quebec.
Business and Investment
Canada actively seeks applications from experienced business professionals who can make a significant contribution to its economy. There are three categories of Canadian visa for business, covering entrepreneurs, investors and the self-employed. We can take you through the financial commitment required and how to apply. With this visa, the authorities are interested in how you will be beneficial to the local economy and not looking to undercut the local market. Your business plan and financial planning will have to stack up. We would expect you to have the same standard of planning as you would be expected to provide to a bank for a business loan. Once approved it is a great visa and relatively quick to secure as Canada loves investment.
Study Visas for Canada
If you’re studying in Canada for longer than six months you will normally require a study permit. Students who want to earn money during their course may be able to do so without a work permit. Education is a big deal in Canada and a very popular route to Canada immigration. During your studies, you can work part time but the best part is that after your studies you can stay for the length of the course. for example, if you have a one year course you can stay for a further year to live and work in Canada. During this year if your employer decides to sponsor you and why not if you are a hard worker you can secure a work permit leading to residency. On a two year course, you can secure a three-year work visa at the end of the course. A great way to enter Canada if you are still building those skills Canada are looking for.
