Canadian Immigration - Permanent Visas

Individuals who would like to immigrate to Canada on a permanent basis can choose from several immigration categories, depending on their background, skills, finances, family relatives in Canada, and other personal circumstances. Skilled workers and professionals can apply through the Skilled Worker Class, while high net worth individuals can apply through the Business Class.

Those persons who cannot meet the criteria of the above categories or who simply wish to immigrate to Canada on the strength of having a close family relative who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, can apply through the Family Class (sponsorship applications).
