Canada Immigration: Easy PR Provinces in Canada

Settling as a permanent resident of Canada is cool as the country welcomes different citizens around the world every year.

Meanwhile, one of the best ways to make this happen is through the easy PR provinces over there. Each of these provinces set their eligibility criteria.

In most cases, there are several programs available to select profiles based on their requirements. However, the provinces discussed here are the most recommended ones to acquire a permanent residence without stress.

What Are The Eligibility Criteria?

Depending on the province or territory where you want to settle, you will be asked to meet the following conditions below;

• Have a job offer from a provincial employer
• Have one or more years of experience for qualified jobs at level A, B and 0 of the occupational classification (some provinces have specific programs for job offers at level C or even D).
• Have previously studied in Canada or more specifically in the province or territory.
• Have already obtained work experience in the province or territory.
• Have a certain level in English and/or French.
• Currently located in Canada and/or specifically in the province or territory.
• Have the required qualifications for specific trades required by the province or territory.

For the selection process, the methods also differ from one province to another;

• Some provinces have set up a system with a scale of points to be achieved to have a chance of being selected.
• Some provinces have implemented a system of ranking candidates against each other to select those with the most points.
• Some provinces apply the first-come, first-served policy; once the maximum number of nominations has been reached, it is no longer possible to apply.
• Some provinces choose nominees at their sole discretion based on the needs of the province.

We are going to offer you here an extremely concise presentation of the different programs of the Provincial Nominee Programs.
