Immigrate to Canada Permanently

Canada offers multiple immigration pathways for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and families looking to build a future in the country. Whether you qualify under Express Entry, a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), family sponsorship, or other immigration streams, we can help navigate the process efficiently.

At SAAB Immigration Services Inc., we specialize in permanent residence applications, ensuring that each case is handled with expertise, strategy, and compliance with Canadian immigration laws.

Main Immigration Pathways

1. Express Entry – Fast-Track to Permanent Residency

The Express Entry system is Canada’s primary economic immigration pathway for skilled workers. It manages applications for:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

For skilled professionals with work experience and high human capital factors.

Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

For applicants with recent skilled work experience in Canada.

Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

For qualified tradespersons meeting experience and certification criteria.
How Express Entry Works
  • Create an Express Entry profile and enter the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) pool.
  • Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) if your CRS score is high enough.
  • Processing times vary but are typically six months or less.
Key Considerations
  • CRS scores fluctuate with each draw.
  • Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) nominations add 600 points, increasing your chances.
  • IRCC introduces category-based draws for in-demand occupations.

2. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) – Regional Immigration Options

Each province and territory (except Quebec) operates a PNP to attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and graduates who meet local labor market needs.

PNP Categories include
  • Employer-driven streams (requiring a job offer).
  • International Graduate streams for recent graduates from Canadian institutions.
  • In-demand occupations in healthcare, construction, IT, and trades.
  • French-speaking or bilingual pathways in select provinces.
  • Express Entry-aligned streams for faster PR processing.
Key Considerations
  • A PNP nomination guarantees an Express Entry ITA (600 CRS points).
  • Some provinces may require commitment to settle in the nominating province.
  • Processing times and eligibility criteria vary by province

3. Family Sponsorship – Reuniting Families in Canada

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor family members for PR under the Family Class.

Who Can Be Sponsored?

  • Spouse, Common-Law, or Conjugal Partner
  • Dependent Children (under 22 years, unmarried, and financially dependent)
  • Parents & Grandparents (through a limited intake program or Super Visa)

Spouses inside Canada can apply for an Open Work Permit (SOWP) while their spousal sponsorship application is processed.

FAQs - Immigrate to Canada Permanently

How do I know which PR pathway is right for me?

Your work experience, education, language skills, and family ties determine your best PR pathway. Express Entry is the most common route, but PNPs and family sponsorship may be better depending on your profile.

Yes! Many foreign workers and students transition to PR through Express Entry, PNPs, or family sponsorship.

Not necessarily. Some PNPs require a job offer, but Express Entry and family sponsorship do not.

How long does it take to get PR?

  • Express Entry: ~6 months
  • PNP: 12-18 months
  • Family Sponsorship: 12-24 months
  • Citizenship Applications: 12-18 months

You may be able to reapply, request reconsideration, or appeal. Our team specializes in overcoming refusals. Book a consultation to discuss your options.

What happens after I become a PR?

As a permanent resident, you can live, work, and study anywhere in Canada. However, you must stay in Canada for at least 730 days in five years to maintain PR status.
