Steps of Migration to Canada From China

Canada strives to welcome many PRs under its immigration status program. By 2023, the objective is to receive 465,000 new permanent residents, which will be elevated to 500,000 by 2025. As of 2022, Canada welcomed more than 437,000 new PRs. China was rated the second biggest source nation of immigrants, with Canada receiving 31,815 new Chinese PR. Immigrants from China made up 7.2 percent of Canada’s whole PR number in 2022.

Based on Canada’s information statistics, Canada has nearly 1.8 million Chinese settlers, most of whom are settling in Vancouver or Toronto. Canada is a famous destination for immigrants from China because of the different kinds of employment and financial prospects, high-quality academics, universal health care, and multicultural masses.

The Federal Skilled Worker Program

The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is a well-known choice for candidates abroad seeking to relocate to Canada. The Federal Skilled Worker Program is adequate for applicants who have not resided in Canada and need to gain experienced trade skills. It permits applicants with no link to Canada or an employment offer to make an application for PR.

The Federal Skilled Worker Program is among the three plans supervised by Express Entry, which is the Canadian administration’s application structure. It also supervises the Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class. For one to be qualified for the federal skilled workers program, applicants are required to satisfy the following standards.

•   Twelve months of steady full-time or equivalent reimbursed work skills in the last ten years in an experienced profession categorized under the NOC TEER classification 0,1,2 or 3.
• Authenticated language capacity equals Canadian Language Benchmark 7 in French or English, which includes reading, listening, speaking, and writing.
• A Canadian academic certification includes a degree, diploma or international accreditation, and Educational Credential Assessment document.
• A minimum of 67 points on Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) six immigration choices aspect.
• Sufficient funds for you and your household to live in Canada.

Applicants can apply for the Federal Skilled Worker Program via Express Entry by posting their profile on the IRCC webpage. Then, they will be provided with Comprehensive Ranking System points according to human capital aspects, including academic level, age, employment skills, and language capacity. Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada has presented category-based draws for Express Entry applicants. Applicants who possess strong French language skills or possess work skills in the following vocations will be accepted:

• Transport
• Healthcare
• Agriculture and agri-food
• STEM profession
• Trades include plumbers, carpenters, and contractors.

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

The PNP is another relocation choice for Chinese international citizens. Every region and territory, except for Quebec and Nunavut, has developed its relocation route via the provincial nominee program by paying attention to its labor and employment market requirements. Applicants may apply instantly via the provincial nominee program(PNP) if qualified according to the program’s measures. If endorsed, the region or territory will assign the applicant to relocate to a different jurisdiction.

An applicant can also apply to the provincial nominee program via Express Entry. If this is done, applicants will be picked by a region or territory that has chosen them from the Express Entry pool. If assigned by a region or territory via express entry, the applicant will obtain 600 Comprehensive Ranking Score points, which assures an ITA (invitation to apply) in an incoming draw.

Work Permit

International citizens can relocate to Canada by obtaining a Canadian work permit. The Canadian work permit is separated into two plans: the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the International Mobility Program. The distinction between the two programs indicates that the Temporary Foreign Worker Program needs an LMIA while the International Mobility Program does not require an LMIA.

A Labor Market Impact Assessment intends to show that employing an international employee may favor or neutrally impact the Canadian employment market. If you possess an employment offer from an employer in Canada, you can apply for a work permit. An employment offer is often needed before you can apply for a work permit. Hence, there are cases whereby applicants may apply for an open work permit, which implies the applicant is not bound to any particular employer and can get employed nearly anywhere in Canada.

Start-up Visa

The start-up visa program permits PR to immigrant entrepreneurs. The program intends to hire inventive citizen entrepreneurs to develop new employment and steer economic expansion in Canada. For one to be qualified, candidates for a start-up visa are required to satisfy the following conditions:

• Satisfy least language conditions in English or French
• Have enough money to live in Canada
• Intend to live in a region other than the region of Quebec
• Make it through the Canadian security and medical clearances
• Ascertain your business is sponsored via an assigned institution
• Indicate your business satisfies ownership conditions.

Study Permits

As of 2022, Canada embraced a record-breaking number of international students, 551,405 from 184. In 2023, 15,655 Chinese international students received a study permit to seek an academic course in Canada. Canadian study permits are well known because of the increased quality of education, inexpensiveness, and the prospect of getting employed in Canada while learning. Again, a study permit in Canada offers the chance for PR after the conclusion of studies, as many Canadian immigration plans value applicants who possess Canadian study and employment skills. For one to make an application for a study permit, a potential international student is required to receive a letter of approval from a DLI in Canada.
