Do you have zero criminal records under Canadian Criminal Code? Are you currently living in the USA under TPS status? Is it expiring soon? Then depending on your profile, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residency in Canada under the following programs:

  1. Express Entry – Federal Skilled Worker:

This is one of the fastest immigration streams to become a permanent resident of Canada. If you meet all the following minimum requirements, then you may be eligible to apply:

  1. Skilled work experience: If you have worked in one of the below job groups for at least 1 year continuously:
    • Managerial jobs (skill type 0)
    • Professional jobs (skill level A)
    • Technical jobs and skilled trades (skill level B)
  1. Language Ability: You must take the IELTS general or CELPIP test and obtain CLB 7.
  2. Education: you must also have completed secondary (high school) or post-secondary school. It must be supported by an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA).
  3. Proof of Funds: You must also show that you have enough money to settle in Canada.
