Permanent Residence gives you the right to live and work in Canada permanently. If you want to, you can become a Canadian Citizen a few years after you arrive.

There are many different ways to apply for Permanent Residence. You can come independently in the Economic Class or you can sponsor family members in the Family Class. Other people can apply as Protected Persons. There is a new class, the Canadian Experience Class, which will be in existence in 2008. Details will be added as they become available.

Economic Class

The Economic class includes Skilled Workers, Entrepreneurs, Investors, and Self-Employed persons such as Farmers. In these immigration cases points are assessed for many different factors such as education, language abilities, connections to Canada and work or business experience. The best way to determine if you qualify is to contact us, and provide a current resume or CV. This should include all education and work experience. If you are married or in a common-law relationship, you and your spouse will be applying together; please be sure to send resumes for both of you.

Family Class

Family Class applications are for family reunification. This is possible when someone living in Canada sponsors close relatives. There are many things to consider here, such as which relatives can be sponsored, whether the sponsor is required to meet a minimum income, and which immigration office to file the application.

We would be happy to discuss any Family Class questions with you.
