Canada immigration pathways

Canada offers a wide range of immigration pathways for UK residents, whether you are looking to work, study, reunite with family, or settle permanently.

Below are the major routes through which you can immigrate to Canada from the UK:

• Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class)
• Rhaglen Enwebai Taleithiol (PNP)
• Nawdd Teulu
• Rhaglen Visa Cychwynnol
• Rhaglen Pobl Hunan-gyflogedig
• Rhaglen Mewnfudo Iwerydd (AIP)
• Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP)
• Peilot Amaeth-Bwyd
• Student Visa leading to PR
• Business and Investor Visas

Canada Immigration – Express Entry

Express Entry is Canada’s primary immigration system for skilled workers seeking permanent residency. It operates through a points-based Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) that evaluates candidates on factors like age, education, work experience, and language skills. UK residents can apply directly through one of the following three programs:

• Rhaglen Gweithiwr Medrus Ffederal (FSWP)
• Dosbarth Profiad Canada (CEC)
• Rhaglen Crefftau Medrus Ffederal (FSTP)

Immigration to Canada – PNP

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a key pathway for skilled workers, graduates, and entrepreneurs to immigrate to Canada by receiving a nomination from a specific province or territory. Each region operates its own PNP streams aligned with local economic needs and labour market gaps. The Canada PNP program is segregated into two major categories:

• Base PNP Streams: These are streams managed entirely by individual provinces or territories. Applicants apply directly to the province, and if nominated, must then submit a permanent residence application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) outside of the Express Entry system.
• Enhanced PNP Streams: These streams are aligned with Canada’s Express Entry system. Provinces select candidates from the Express Entry pool and issue a nomination. A provincial nomination through an enhanced stream grants the candidate an additional 600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, virtually guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

The list of Canada PNP programs include:

• Rhaglen Enwebai Mewnfudwyr Ontario (OINP)
• Rhaglen Enwebai Taleithiol British Columbia (BC PNP)
• Rhaglen Mewnfudo Mantais Alberta (AAIP)
• Rhaglen Enwebai Taleithiol Manitoba (MPNP)
• Rhaglen Enwebai Mewnfudwyr Saskatchewan (SINP)
• Rhaglen Enwebeion Nova Scotia (NSNP)
• Rhaglen Enwebai Taleithiol Newydd Brunswick (NBPNP)
• Rhaglen Enwebai Taleithiol Ynys y Tywysog Edward (PEI PNP)
• Rhaglen Enwebai Taleithiol Newfoundland a Labrador (NLPNP)
• Rhaglen Enwebai Yukon (YNP)
• Rhaglen Enwebai Tiriogaethau'r Gogledd-orllewin (NTNP)

Migrate to Canada – QSWP

The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP), officially known as the Regular Skilled Worker Program (RSWP), is designed for individuals who wish to move to Quebec permanently for work. This program is ideal for skilled professionals with qualifications and experience that align with Quebec’s labour market needs.

To begin the process, applicants must submit an expression of interest through Quebec’s Arrima Portal. Candidates are then selected based on their ability to integrate into the province’s workforce. Selected individuals receive an invitation to apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ), which is required before applying for Canadian permanent residency.

Unlike other immigration programs, QSWP does not require a job offer, though candidates with one are given preference. Quebec manages this program independently of Canada’s federal Express Entry and PNP systems, with its own eligibility criteria and selection process.
