Canadian immigration
Canadian immigration is the process by which individuals from other countries apply to live, work, or study in Canada legally. It is governed by federal and provincial programs that assess applicants based on factors like skills, work experience, education, language ability, and ties to Canada. Key pathways include economic programs (for workers and entrepreneurs), family sponsorships, refugee and asylum programs, and students. The goal is to attract diverse, qualified newcomers to support Canada's economy and society. The process involves submitting applications, meeting eligibility criteria, and, if approved, obtaining visas or permanent residency to stay in Canada long-term.
