How Canada chooses immigrants
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) manages visas, permanent residence and citizenship. Skilled candidates enter the Express Entry pool and are ranked by the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), while provinces nominate people they need through their own programs.
Most work permits require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), but international agreements and exemption codes let some workers skip it. Canadian study and work experience both count toward permanent residence, which is why many people arrive as students first.
Permanent residents enjoy almost the same rights as citizens except voting and a Canadian passport, and they keep the status by living in Canada at least two years in every five. Citizenship requires three years (1,095 days) of physical presence within the last five. Most economic programs need a language test: IELTS General, CELPIP or PTE Core for English, TEF Canada or TCF Canada for French. Express Entry invitations go to the highest-ranked candidates in regular and category-based draws.
