For many, information received on how to relocate to Canada can be overwhelming.

But here is a snapshot of 6 ways to immigrate to Canada.

Short Thread.
1. Express Entry Program

With express entry, you can live and work in Canada as a Permanent Resident, and after 3 years within a 5 year period can become eligible for citizenship.

The program has 3 major classes you can fall under:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
- The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
- The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Generally, the program allows individual provinces & territories to use the system to recruit suitable candidates as part of the Provincial Nominee Programs.
2. LMIA Work Visa

For this one, you will need a Canadian job offer, apply for a work visa, and then on that basis, immigrate to Canada.
The Steps:

- Secure a Canadian job offer.
- Have the Canadian employer apply for an LMIA on your behalf through Service Canada.
- Once LMIA is approved, then
- Apply for a Work Permit
3. Family Class Sponsorship

As every other country would, your family can sponsor you to Canada to join them on a permanent basis. They must either be a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident. However, you can also be granted a visa to join your partner if he/she is a student.
A typical sponsor comprises of:

- Spouse
- Children under the age of 22 (there are some exceptions to this)
4. The Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

This is actually a very popular way to immigrate to Canada.

Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, and others have their own immigration programs that often lead to a fast-track process.
Only that for this category you are required to reside in the respective province when you arrive in Canada.
5. Study Permit:

Of all the ways to immigrate, to me, this is the easiest when it comes to documentation and application. Only that it has the most financial implication because of high international student fees, especially if a student isn't on a scholarship.
The thing is, if you can afford it, there is no better way to immigrate than through studying as Canada offers numerous programs. Plus some universities are considered among the best in the world.

6. Visitor Visa

Last on the list is a visitor visa. Although, the hardest if you ask. Also, you cannot work in Canada using a visitor visa as you need a work permit.

However, you can communicate with 'potential' employers about future work while visiting.
Again, we have always mentioned that Canada immigration is DIY, and can be done in the comfort of your home. But if you are overwhelmed and not sure after reading or using the immigration tools, then speak with a licensed immigration consultant here in Canada via @HumanSquadCA
