Canada immigration guide
A points-based system that rewards skilled work experience, with a clear route to permanent residence.
Canada selects most economic immigrants through a pooled ranking system: candidates create a profile, are scored, and the highest-ranked receive invitations to apply for permanent residence. Provinces run a parallel nomination track for people willing to commit to a specific region. All the federal routes here lead to permanent residence directly — there is no separate temporary-to-permanent conversion step once selected.
