4. PNP Immigration System in Canada
Provincial Nominee Programs is one of the top five immigration programs in Canada. Direct Entry controls the intake of some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) while others remain under that particular province’s governorship.
In cases where Express Entry manages the PNP in question, you are expected to submit an idiom of interest into an Express Entry pool of prospective applicants.
Canadian PNP (Provincial Nominee Program) is ideal for 4 types of candidates. These are:
- Individuals who are currently or have recently worked in Canada with a valid work permit.
- Candidates who have already submitted their expression of interest applied to the Express Entry pool. The candidates should also be qualified for an open PNP program. These specific types of Provincial Nominee Programs base their selection of applicants from the Express Entry pool on their individual qualifications or their in-demand work experience.
- It is also used by applicants who have connections to the particular province they are applying for. These connections could be a formal job offer from one Canadian employer or studies in that province.
- A family member might also be able to assist with your sponsorship under this program. However, several other requirements need to be met. Having a family member residing there is not enough to make you eligible.
Applying to an Express Entry PNP has the potential benefit of being invited to apply for permanent residence for any other program governed by Express Entry other than your chosen PNP program. This gives you multiple opportunities to obtain your visa.
However, it is important to understand that all PNPs have a single result, Canadian permanent residence.
5. Getting a Spousal Visa in Canada
The main objective behind introducing the Family Class Visa category to the Canadian Government has been to help reunite families.
The Family Class Visa allows permanent residents, citizens’ dependent grandparents, dependent children, and dependent grandchildren to acquire permanent residence in Canada.
There are more than one sub-categories of Family Class immigration, the Spousal Sponsorship program being one of them.
This allows permanent residents and Canadian citizens to sponsor their common-law partner or spouse for Canadian permanent residency.
For you to receive a Spouse Visa via this immigration program, your spouse, who is a permanent resident or citizen of Canada, and the applicant who is the sponsored person, must demonstrate their affiliation to be one of these three categories.
- Spouse.
- Common-law partner and
- Conjugal partner.
The applicant and the sponsor need to be endorsed by CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) to get the Spouse Visa for Canada.
Note: Canada recognizes same-sex marriage. Therefore, same-sex partners qualify to apply under this sub-category as long as they meet all qualification requirements. Below are a few eligibility conditions for the sponsor. Learn more about Canada’s wried rules here.
- The sponsor must be eighteen years and above in age.
