Permanent Immigration

Canada admits immigrants on a permanent basis. Permanent Residence is a status that allows an immigrant to legally reside and earn a living anywhere in Canada while abiding by the country’s constitutional laws.

If you are interested in immigrating to Canada, you have a number of options when applying for Permanent residence status.

The various classes available to someone looking for immigration to Canada are:

• Economic Class (Skilled workers, Professionals)
• Business Class (Investor, Entrepreneur & Self Employed)
• Family Class Immigration (Spouse & Other family members)
• Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Immigration rules and regulations require a person to make a choice out of four main categories to apply for immigration. The four categories under which one can apply for immigration are: Independent class (Skilled persons, Professionals), Business Immigrants Family Class and Provincial Nominee Program applicants.
