Immigrate To Canada From Singapore

any citizens of other countries love Canada due to many reasons like low cost of living, better health services, education, job opportunities and many others. To someone from Singapore, immigrating to Canada could mean a lot ranging from enjoying a higher minimum wage, having a better work condition to enjoying a good standard of living.

The government of Canada has an agenda to invite over 1.2 million foreigners from 2021 to 2023 and this shows that Canada is the best place for you to relocate to.

Let’s move to what we have in store and show you how you can immigrate to Canada from Singapore this year.

EXPRESS ENTRY

This system is a pathway that enables you, as a foreign skilled worker, to become a permanent resident of Canada and you can do this under three federal immigration programs. They are:

• Federal Skilled Trades Program
• Federal Skilled Worker Program
• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

In this year alone, the express entry system has contributed a lot towards inviting immigrants to the country following the Canadian government agenda. You can process your application in about six months which makes it one of the fastest pathways.

How can you immigrate to Canada with the Express Entry system?

When you are sure you have met the requirements for the system, you can then create your online profile. The following are needed to help you complete your online profile:

• Your passport or travel document
• Results of your language test
• Your education credential assessment report
• Your certificate of qualification in a trade occupation issued by a Canadian province or territory (if you have one)
• Your proof of work experience (if you have one)
• Provincial Nomination (if you have one)

You’ll be given 60 days to complete the online profile; it would be better you complete it before the stipulated time, as it could put you at an advantage as the tie-breaking rule. In this rule, a candidate that submitted their profiles earlier will be picked if there is a tie in score.

A Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score will be used to determine your ranking as the candidates will be placed in a draw pool. You are likely to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) if you score higher than the CRS score for that particular draw then you can apply for Canadian permanent residence.

What are the Benefits of the Express Entry system?

• If you are not successful in your first trial, you can stay in the pool and work on improving your CRS score to increase your chances of being successful in the next draw. The draws are done bi-weekly (every two weeks)
• You can do everything online, so you can easily access it.
• You can apply with your common-law partner, conjugal partner or spouse.

You should know that a large number of Canadians retire every year which means there an increasing need for skilled workers. This makes it easier for skilled workers and professionals to immigrate to Canada and become permanent residents.
