The super visa permits visits to your children or grandchildren for up to 5 years. It also comes with the flexibility of multiple entries extending over a maximum period of 10 years. One must meet the eligibility parameters to be eligible for a super visa.

The Canadian government created the Super Visa scheme in 2012 so that immigrants can bring their families to live and stay in Canada with them.

Each of Canada’s territories and provinces, apart from Nunavut and Quebec, has its own unique Provincial Nominee Program designed to meet its demographic and economic needs.

The requirements of the program and application procedures vary greatly between the provinces.

So, interested applicants should consult with each province to determine their eligibility.

How can you apply for a Provincial Nominee Program in Canada?

• Find the Ideal PNP

Consult with the territories & provinces to figure out where you would like to immigrate to Canada. Ensure to check all the requirements for every PNP to determine eligibility.

• Apply to the PNP that You Selected

You can apply directly to the province or territory that you selected.

• Get a Provincial Nomination Certificate

Once your application is successful, then the province or territory where you applied will nominate you to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

• Apply for Permanent Residence

You can apply to the Canadian federal government for permanent residence.

Further, if the PNP you selected is aligned with Express Entry, you can do it online.

On the other hand, you may have to submit a paper-based application.

How Much Does It Cost to Immigrate via PNP?

It can cost you about $2300-$3800 CAD based on the program that you are going through.

What are the requirements needed for Canada’s PNPs?

Territories or provinces often look for applicants with work experience that can meet the specific labour market needs. Other than this, other language and education requirements would be needed.

Further, each province has eligibility requirements regarding language proficiency, education, and skill set.

To qualify, you must also showcase that you can contribute to the economy locally and genuinely intend to settle down in that province or territory.

How long does it take to process a PNP application?

Processing times can vary from province to province, but generally, it can take months.

Applying for Canadian permanent residence through a PNP program is a two-step process:

1. Apply to the province.

2. Once that has been approved, then you would need to apply to the federal government.

The processing time for a permanent residence application will depend on whether you submitted a ‘base’ or ‘enhanced’ PNP application.
