What is the process to immigrate to Canada?

Yay! That’s the first step. Finding out and checking the process for Canada. I shall mention a few points here that you need to have a basic understanding of.

You could either do all of this yourself, but if you have no time on hand to do all the research and run around to get everything done by yourself with millions of doubts and no proper guidance I suggest take the assistance only of an ICCRC registered immigration lawyer/consultant.

You can consult them throughhttps://www.novusimmigration.com/about-us.html

Step 1: Find out if you’re eligible

Step 2: Get your initial documents ready

You need documents, such as language test results, Education equivalency (ECA) to show that you’re eligible for Express Entry. Some documents take a long time to get, so you should get them ready.

Step 3: Create and submit your profile

Your Express Entry profile is where you give information about yourself.

If you’re eligible, you will be accepted into the pool of candidates.

Check your CRS score:

Create you application and get into the pool.

Step 4: Receive an invitation (ITA) and apply for permanent residence

They send invitations to apply to the candidates with the highest scores in the pool as per the DRAW score. If you are invited to apply, you’ll have 60 days to submit your application for permanent residence. (as per the checklist)
