Immigrate to Canada
100+ Pathways, One Authority

Express Entry is an online system used by the Canadian government to manage permanent residency applications from skilled workers. It scores candidates using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and issues Invitations to Apply (ITA) to the highest-ranked individuals during periodic draws.

They are the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) for international professionals, the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) for qualified technical tradespeople, and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) for individuals with recent Canadian in-country work experience.

Your points are determined by core profile factors: age (maximum points between 20-29), level of education, official language proficiency (English/French), overseas work experience, and skill transferability variables.

Provinces (like Ontario, British Columbia, or Alberta) have unique immigration streams to attract workers matching local economic deficits. Securing an Express Entry-aligned provincial nomination injects 600 points into your profile, guaranteeing an ITA from the federal pool.

For English proficiency, you must take the IELTS General Training module or CELPIP General test. For French proficiency, the TEF Canada or TCF Canada are mandatory. Academic versions of these language tests are rejected for migration purposes.

An ECA is a mandatory verification process that proves your Nigerian or foreign academic degrees are authentic and equivalent to established Canadian educational standards. Evaluations are carried out by organizations like WES, IQAS, or ICAS.

Yes. The Federal Skilled Worker Program via Express Entry does not mandate a job offer. If your CRS score is high enough based purely on your age, languages, education, and career experience, you can claim permanent residency independently.

An LMIA is a document that a Canadian employer must apply for before hiring a foreign worker. It proves that no citizen or permanent resident was available to fill the opening, clearing the path for an executive or temporary work permit.

Yes. The principal applicant can include their legal spouse or common-law partner along with dependent children under 22 years old. All listed members receive permanent resident status at landing simultaneously.

Unless you hold a valid job offer or apply under the CEC, you must prove you possess unencumbered, liquid funds to support yourself and your family. The threshold scales with family size according to annual IRCC updates.

These are fast-track, prioritized study permit processing initiatives for specific countries. For Nigeria, meeting special financial criteria and upfront digital verification allows for rapid study visa issuances compared to regular routes.

Graduating from an eligible program at a Designated Learning Institution grants you a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Gaining one year of Canadian corporate experience unlocks massive points via the Canadian Experience Class stream.

The PAL is a mandatory provincial clearance document introduced for international undergraduate applicants. It proves your admission allocation fits within the regional cap established by the federal authority before visa processing begins.

You must be at least 18 years old, reside in Canada, and hold active Canadian citizenship or Permanent Resident status. You must sign an undertaking promising financial support for the sponsored individuals for a set period.

You must secure a formal Letter of Support from a designated Canadian Venture Capital Fund, Angel Investor Group, or Business Incubator, satisfy minimum language bounds, and hold an innovative, scalable business model.

Any past criminal record, including traffic infractions under the influence (DUI) or minor offenses in Nigeria or abroad, can cause a visa refusal. Remedies include formal Criminal Rehabilitation or Temporary Resident Permits.

An applicant is deemed medically inadmissible if their health condition poses a threat to public safety, or if it is expected to place an excessive demand on Canada's publicly funded health and social services.

A PFL is an official notification sent by an IRCC officer when they have concerns regarding your application (e.g., suspected misrepresentation or document doubt). You are given a strict deadline to respond with solid legal arguments before a final refusal or ban is issued.

You must accumulate at least 730 days (2 full years) of physical residency in Canada within every rolling 5-year period. Failing to meet this threshold can lead to the revocation of your Permanent Resident status upon entry evaluation.

You can apply for citizenship after spending a minimum of 1,095 days (3 full years) physically present in Canada within the 5 years immediately preceding your application date, while maintaining flawless tax compliance.

It is a targeted system where draws focus on candidates with specific skills or attributes rather than just overall CRS scores. Key categories include French language proficiency alongside high-demand professions in STEM, Healthcare, Trades, Transport, and Agriculture.

Temporary public policies have allowed visitors inside Canada with valid job offers to apply for employer-specific work permits. These guidelines change frequently, making ongoing legal verification essential before arrival.

Approved immigrants can import their personal belongings tax and duty-free under the "Settler" classification. This requires providing a detailed inventory list (Form BSF186) to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) upon your first landing.

Most refusals result from insufficient proof of funds, incomplete employment reference letters, unexplained gaps in history, unverified bank statements, or mismatched information across applications.
