Types of immigration to Canada
Canada aims to welcome 365,000 new permanent residents annually by 2027. Learn about the various immigration pathways and how to obtain citizenship.
If you dream of moving to another country, consider Canada. Besides its vast spaces, developed economy, and high per capita income, this country makes you feel at home. For example, in Germany, you're unlikely to become German, as people will always view you as an outsider. Canada, however, is a country of immigrants, with hundreds of thousands of people moving there from all over the world each year. According to the immigration plan for 2025-2027, Canada aims to welcome about 365,000 new permanent residents annually by 2027. Here, your skin color and childhood language don't matter.
There are several ways to immigrate to Canada:
— Through general federal immigration programs (for investors, businesspeople, skilled workers, family sponsorship, etc.).
— Through provincial nominee programs (e.g., Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and others)
— With a work visa.
The first two methods immediately grant permanent resident status (PR in Canada). After physically residing in Canada for 3 out of the last 5 years, you can apply for Canadian citizenship. It's worth noting that over 40% of all new permanent residents in 2025 will be people already in Canada on temporary statuses.

Immigration applications to Canada should be submitted through the Express Entry system (some provincial programs have their own application process).
Studying at a Canadian college or university will provide you with quality education and Canadian life experience. You'll also improve your English or French. Most importantly, after graduating, in some cases, you can immediately obtain PR. In other cases, you can apply for immigration through the federal Canadian Experience Class program and eventually become a Canadian citizen.
By the way, you can work while studying, and after graduation, you'll also receive a work permit for at least one year.
If you find a job in Canada and work for some time, you'll also be able to apply for immigration.
