How to Apply for
Canada PR Card?
Canada has emerged as one of the favourite migration destinations for Indians in the last few years. Overseas migration consultancies like Rudraksh Immigration Group in Mohali have encountered a positive surge in the number of applicants wanting to migrate to Canada. There are many reasons for this including, but not limited to, the English language, high standards of living, great cultural interaction with people from all over the globe, terrific employment opportunities, access to world-class education, healthcare, etc. Understandably, most of the applicants who want to travel to Canada are looking to get PR (Permanent Residency).
A PR card allows a migrant to live in Canada permanently without having to apply for a visa every time they leave the country. In addition to that, they get access to social benefits and health care coverage that Canadian citizens receive. Also, they get protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Steps to apply for Canada PR Process:
- You must apply to a particular province that you want to migrate to.
- For that, you must find a suitable job or occupation depending on your qualification and interests. After getting the acceptance letter you must apply to the province regarding migration.
- Once the province allows you to become the recipient of the nomination program, you are required to apply on the IRCC portal.
- IRCC is responsible for handling the cases of all migrants into Canada.
- The final decision will be taken by IRCC depending on your documents, your abilities to contribute to the economy of Canada, your criminal record, your health status, and more.
- If all the documents are in order, IRCC will invite you to apply for the PR.
- In Order to keep your permanent resident status, you must have been in Canada for at least 730 days during the last five years. Needless to say, these 730 days don’t need to be continuous. In fact, some of your time abroad may also count towards the 730 days.
Documents needed:
- You need to submit passport-sized photographs along with a valid passport to travel to Canada.
- You will need to collect all the documents related to your academics, experience certificates, healthcare certificates, criminal records, and any other relevant documents to support your case.
- You must also be able to show the proof of funds that will be needed to sustain yourself while you will be living in Canada. If you are taking your spouse, family members, etc with you, you must also have enough funds to support them.
- Additional documents may be needed depending on the province and position you are applying for.
While these are the broad requirements regarding the application for the Canadian PR card, there could be some additional information needed from you by the province. In such cases, they will ask you about those aspects via email during a conversation. Make sure to keep in mind the deadlines for applications and specific requirements of programmes aimed at attracting foreign migrants as they keep on changing from time to time.
