Top 7 most reliable immigration programs to Canada

Sharing official statistics.

There are more than 120 immigration programs in Canada, and some of them are more reliable than others. Earlier I told you about the riskiest programs. They had rejections ranging from 10% to 70%. Today I'm going to describe the programs that, conversely, had the most approvals in 2021. To avoid going through the whole list — it's a long one — I'll focus on the ones that had at least 500 applications and I won't talk about refugees.

So, the top 7 most reliable immigration programs to Canada, which had the least refusals.

Sponsoring relatives

The seventh highest-ranking program is sponsoring parents and grandparents. 93% of applications were approved. This pathway is suitable for those who have children or grandchildren with permanent residency and citizenship in Canada.

Provincial programs

In sixth place are provincial programs that are not processed through Express Entry. More than 95% of Canadian immigration applications were approved. Provincial programs are good because the requirements for applicants to move to Canada are usually lower in language, age, and education.

Federal Skilled Worker

Approximately the same approval rate was for those who applied for the Federal Skilled Worker Program. Here everything is clear, you must be young, smart, with good knowledge of languages to be selected. So it is possible to prepare the documents correctly.

Quebec Investor

Quebec Investor Program is in the fourth spot — over 96% were approved for permanent residency in Canada. Seems like a great rate, and you might want to look into the requirements for applicants. I will not touch on them, I will just tell you one disadvantage that will scare you away from this program. Right now, the average processing time for this program is 67 months.

Canadian Experience Class

The third place in the ranking is for those who applied for immigration through the Canadian Experience Class. 97% of people were approved. But I want to elaborate on the numbers, 97% of the 145,520 applications. This is the most popular program and the one that immigrated the most people in 2021.

This is a great program with doable conditions, but you have to work in Canada for at least one year. For that, you have to get a work visa first or become a student, who will get a work permit after graduation.

Quebec Regular Skilled Worker

The Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program stands out in the second place of the ranking with over 98% approval of permanent residency applications. Very reliable immigration option, applications are processed in 20 months, but you will most likely need French.

Provincial programs through Express Entry

What are the top most reliable Canadian immigration programs with the fewest denials? These are the many provincial programs that function through the Express Entry system. You probably know that you need a very high score to be selected. But if you get a nomination from a province, it gives you 600 extra points to what you already have. That's a lot and leads to automatic immigration. Less than 2% of candidates were rejected.

To be nominated, you must register with Express Entry. You can do it if you are eligible for one of the three federal immigration programs. We already talked about this not long ago.
