## Essential Immigration How to Come to Canada in 2025

Canada has several channels for people and families to enter. Knowing the right channel under your specific circumstances is crucial.

## Express Entry System

Express Entry is Canada's premier immigration program, handling applications for three key economic immigration streams:

* Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): For candidates who have experience in skilled work, no Canadian experience is required, but proof of settlement fund is mandatory. From July 7, 2025, the minimum money amount for one candidate has been increased to $15,263 CAD.
* Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): For skilled trades workers with two or more years of full-time work experience in one of the qualifying occupations in the last five years. Settlement funds are needed in a similar way as FSWP.
* Canadian Experience Class (CEC): For applicants with one year or more of recent Canadian skilled work experience within the last three years. Applicants under CEC typically do not need to submit evidence of funds if they have a valid job offer and work authorization.

How Express Entry Works:

* Create an Online Profile: Applicants create an online profile of their age, education, work experience, language proficiency (English and/or French), and other information.
* Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS): All profiles are ranked based on a CRS score. The greater their score, the higher their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Keep in mind that from Spring 2025, a Canadian job offer will no longer be included in a candidate's CRS score, which could level the playing field for those who lack pre-arranged employment.
* Invitations to Apply (ITA): IRCC conducts regular draws from the Express Entry pool, extending invitations to applicants with the highest CRS scores to apply for permanent residence. ITAs are 60 days valid.

How Titan Law Assists with Express Entry:

* CRS Score Optimization: Analysis of your profile for identifying areas of improvement and maximizing your CRS score.
* Document Preparation: Going through all documents to make sure they are prepared thoroughly and submitted in advance of time.
* Profile Management: Helping you with the setting up of your online profile and regular updates.
* Proof of Funds Guidance: Advising you on the most updated settlement fund needs and what is acceptable.

### 2. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

The PNP allows Canada's provinces and territories to sponsor candidates who meet specific labor market and economic needs. This pathway is particularly ideal for candidates who fail with the lowest CRS score from Express Entry or have specific skills that are needed in a specific region.

Key characteristics of PNPs:

* Tailor-made Streams: Each province/territory has unique streams focusing on different types of applicants (e.g., skilled workers, foreign students, businesspersons).
* Eligibility: Provincial conditions vary, usually focusing on skills, education, and working experience relevant to the province's economy.
* Path to Permanent Residency: A provincial nomination significantly boosts an Express Entry profile (with 600 CRS points being added) or can lead to direct permanent residency application outside of Express Entry (though with longer processing times).

How Titan Law Assists with PNPs:

* Eligibility Assessment: Determining which provincial streams you qualify for, according to your background and intentions.
* Application Guidance: Taking you through the specific application procedures for each province.
* Strategic Advice: Advising you of the best province for your ability and professional aspirations to position you most effectively for nomination.

### 3. Family Sponsorship

Family reunification is greatly encouraged in Canada. Permanent residents and citizens of Canada are eligible to sponsor eligible family members to immigrate to Canada.

Eligible family members are:

* Spouse, Common-law Partner, or Conjugal Partner: One of the most sought-after categories, inland (for those already in Canada) and outland (for those outside Canada) routes. Processing is about 10-12 months in 2025.
* Dependent Children: Biological or adopted children under 22 (or older than 22 if financially dependent on account of a physical or mental impairment). Processing is about 8-10 months.
* Parents and Grandparents (PGP): An in-demand program that operates on an annual lottery basis. The sponsors must meet Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) for the last three tax years. The processing lasts 20-24 months typically.
* Super Visa: An option for parents and grandparents, which allows them to stay in Canada for a maximum of 5 years at a time without permanent residency.
* Other Relatives: Specifically, limited circumstances (e.g., orphaned siblings, nieces/nephews, or under the "Lonely Canadian" policy). [Canada sponsorship](https://www.canadim.com/sponsorship/) helps you bring family members to live with you by sponsoring their permanent residency and reunifying your family.

Sponsor Eligibility:

* Must be 18 and older.
* Must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
* Must reside in Canada (or plan to return upon sponsorship applicant's arrival).

### 4. Study Permits

Significant conditions for a study permit:

* Acceptance Letter: From a DLI.
* Proof of Funds: From September 1, 2025, a sole applicant has to provide at least $22,895 CAD for expenses of living (apart from tuition and travel costs). It is greater for family members accompanying.
* Intent to Leave: Proof that you have the intention to leave Canada at the end of your authorized stay.
* Clean Record: No criminal record.

How Titan Law Assists with Study Permits:

* School Recommendations: Assistance in recommending appropriate DLIs.

* Application Preparation: Ensuring effective and detailed study permit application.
* Post-Graduation Options: Direction on paths to permanent residence following graduation.

### 5. Work Permits

In order to work in Canada as a foreign national, you will typically need to have a work permit. There are two types:

* Employer-specific work permits: Tied to one employer and one employment opportunity, often subject to a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
* Open work permits: Not tied to an individual employer, allowing the holder to work for any employer in Canada. Often granted to spouses of international students or professionals.

Most notable 2025 changes:

* Unified Digital Application Portal: IRCC has introduced a unified online portal for work permit applications, making it streamlined.
* New Open Work Permit for Vulnerable Workers: Regulations are being updated to protect temporary foreign workers.
* Amplified Post-Arrival Services: Multilingual documents and legal services among them.

How Titan Law Assists with Work Permits:

* LMIA Guidance: Assisting employers with the LMIA process, if required.
* Application Submission: Preparing and submitting your work permit application through the new online portal.
* Compliance Advice: Counseling employers and foreign workers regarding compliance obligations.
* CUSMA/Other Agreements: Advising applicants eligible through free trade agreements.

Common eligibility criteria for Canadian citizenship in 2025:

* Permanent Resident Status: Must be in PR status and not under consideration for immigration or fraud.
