Permanent-residence overview
Canada offers multiple permanent-residence programs rather than one universal PR application.
Express Entry manages selected economic programs. Provincial, regional and family routes have separate criteria and procedures.
Eligibility to create a profile does not guarantee an invitation, nomination or permanent-residence approval.
Program rules, selection scores, provincial
priorities and invitation rounds may
change. Review the requirements of the
specific pathway before relying on a
previous assessment.
