For Indian nationals considering settling permanently in Canada, there are a variety of immigration routes. In fact, Indian nationals made up roughly a third of all new permanent residents in Canada in 2023. So, we go down the best ways to immigrate to Canada from India today in this post!

India has traditionally been a major source of immigration to Canada. From 39,340 in 2016 to 85,585 in 2019, the number of Indians who became permanent residents in Canada grew. Nearly 100,000 new permanent residents from India are expected to arrive in Canada by 2021.

While an Indian skilled worker may have to wait decades for permanent residence in the United States, Canada's immigration system permits talented employees to apply for permanent residence directly provided they meet the program's requirements. Permanent residency grants a person the right to live and work in Canada, as well as access to the country's universal healthcare and social services.

Here are the top 6 ways to migrate to Canada

1. Express Entry Stream- It is an online, fast-tracking application system that ranks the candidates in the pool according to their CRS score and invites them to apply for the Canada PR Visa.

It is a management system for three federal economic streams:

• The Federal Skilled Worker Program- The Federal Skilled Worker Program is one of three federal economic immigration programs administered by the Express Entry system. This category is for candidates who have worked abroad for at least one year and would like to immigrate to Canada for permanent residency and employment.

• Canadian Experience Class- Candidates with a minimum of one year of work experience in Canada are qualified to apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class, one of three federal economic migration programs.

• This system allows foreign students who work part-time in Canada to seek permanent residency. Before approving international students' applications, the IRCC will assess their length of stay and job experience in light of the eligibility criteria.

• The Federal Skilled Trades Program (Federal Skilled Trades Program)- An applicant for this category must have a minimum of one year of experience in working in a trade such as an electrician, industrial butcher, or something similar.

2. Provincial Nominee Programs- Provincial Nominee Programs, or PNPs, are immigration programs run by each of Canada's thirteen provinces and territories. Because each province has its own population and economy, its immigration strategies are tailored to meet its economic and demographic demands.

PNPs are famous because they might be the easiest route to permanent residence in Canada for candidates who do not have enough CRS points to acquire an ITA.

Provincial Nominee Program immigration accounts for a significant share of Canada's total economic immigration. A total of 80,800 economic immigrants were set aside for individuals applying through the Provincial Nominee Program, out of a total of 232,500 targeted for 2021. In fact, in the PNP-specific Express Entry drawings in 2021, Canada issued three times as many invites as it did in 2020.

3. Quebec Skilled Worker- The province of Quebec has its own immigration policy for skilled workers. The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSW) is an immigration program run by the province of Quebec for people with skilled job experience who will be able to contribute to the economy of Quebec in the long run.

Candidates are ranked using a points system, similar to Express Entry, and then selected candidates are invited to apply.

4. Intra-Company Transfers / Work Permit Visa- Indian nationals may be eligible for a work permit in Canada. An employment offer is frequently required in order to obtain a work permit. Intra-company transfers, on the other hand, are an important exception.

If your employer is a multinational corporation with offices in Canada, you may be eligible for a quick transfer to one of their locations in Canada.

5. Family Sponsorship Visa- You may be eligible for Family Class sponsorship Programs if you have a qualifying relative living in Canada. Canada has a variety of immigration options that allow Canadians to sponsor their family members to immigrate to the country.

6. Canadian Study Visa- According to data from India's ministry of external affairs, more Indian students are choosing to study in Canada rather than the United States. Many Indian students choose to study in Canada because of the numerous job opportunities available both during and after their studies.

International graduates with a Canadian certificate have a plethora of permanent residency immigration options available to them. A certain quantity of skilled work experience is also required for several of Canada's immigration programs. The majority of international student graduates in Canada are qualified to apply for a post-graduation work visa, which allows them to work anywhere in Canada and earn significant job experience.
