3. Family Sponsorship

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor eligible family members such as spouses, dependent children, parents, and grandparents.

4. Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)

Designed for skilled professionals who wish to settle in the province of Quebec.

5. Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)

Aimed at skilled workers and international graduates who wish to live and work in Canada’s Atlantic provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland & Labrador).

• Language proficiency (IELTS/CELPIP or TEF)
