Eligibility Assessment

Study Permit to Canada: Eligibility

You must fulfil the following criteria in order to be qualified for a Canada Student Visa:

Acceptance from a Designated Learning Institute (DLI): You need a letter of acceptance from a DLI in Canada.
Adequate Funds: You must show that you have enough money to pay your tuition, living costs in Canada for you and any accompanying family members, and return travel charges.
Police verification certificate required: Applicants must show that they have a clean criminal history and background by submitting this document.
Medical Certification: A physical examination is necessary, and you must present a medical certification attesting to your excellent health.
Intention to depart Canada: During the interview, it is crucial to convince the visa officer that you genuinely intend to depart from Canada after your studies are through. To assure the officer of your return, you should provide evidence of your close ties to your home country, such as family, employment chances, or career goals.

It is essential to fulfil all these requirements to be eligible and obtain a Canada study permit. Your chances of receiving a visa will rise if you make sure you have all the required paperwork and are ready for the interview.

You will get a Letter of Introduction as soon as your application for a study permit is accepted. When you arrive in Canada, the Letter of Introduction needs to be shown to the Canada Border Services Officer. Your study permit will be given to you by the official at the border or airport. Also, based on your country of origin and its regulations, you will automatically obtain either an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) if your study permit is issued. A visa office will ask for your passport in order to insert the TRV (visa) if you are an applicant from a country that requires the TRV. However, U.S. citizens and permanent residents are exempt from needing a TRV or an eTA.

Upon presenting the letter of introduction to the Canada Border Services Officer at the first point of entry after arriving in Canada, request a study permit and ensure that the information on it is accurate, including whether it states that you 'may work' or 'may accept employment.' Ask the officer to add these words if they are not there. You must have this authorization in order to be able to work in Canada while awaiting a rectification, which could take several months. Without it, you will not be permitted to do so. These actions will guarantee a seamless transition and a legitimate study visa to start your academic experience in Canada.

Immigration to Canada: Eligibility

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) and the Express Entry system are the two most well-known and convenient routes to Canadian Permanent Residence (PR), and both have comparable eligibility standards. The Express Entry system evaluates applicants based on six selection factors, as follows:

• Age: There is no maximum age for applicants; they must be at least 18 years old. Applicants between 18 and 35 years old receive the highest points.
• Education: While higher secondary education is the minimum requirement, some occupations may demand higher qualifications. To confirm educational credentials in accordance with Canadian standards, one needs an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) from an authorized assessing authority like WES.
• Work Experience: The three Express Entry categories have various job experience requirements:
  Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): At least one year of recent, full-time employment; extra experience is worth more points.
  Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): A minimum of two years of recent, full-time experience working in a skilled trade.
  Canadian Experience Class (CEC): At least one year of recent, specialized work experience in Canada.
• Language Proficiency: French or English language proficiency is required. To claim English language ability points, you must have IELTS or CELPIP exam results that have been approved. The minimal linguistic requirements vary depending on the category:
  FSWP: Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 in all language abilities.
  FSTP: CLB 5 in speaking and listening and CLB 4 in reading and writing.
• Adaptability: Earn adaptability points for your spouse's past education, work experience, or relatives in Canada. You can get points for your spouse’s language if your spouse/partner is CLB 4 proficient.
• Arranged Employment: Points are awarded if you have a job offer arranged in Canada.

Candidates must receive a minimum of 67 points based on the six selection factors to be considered for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSWP) category.

To speed up the PR application process, candidates should be prepared with all necessary documents, including birth and marriage certificates, pictures, proof of funds, etc. Remember that completing Express Entry's qualifying requirements is only the first step. To improve your chances of success, the application process requires meticulous paperwork and adherence to government criteria.
