Thinking of moving to Canada from India? Getting a Canada PR (Permanent Resident) card is your first step. This guide breaks it down in simple steps.

What is Canada PR?

PR means you can live and work in Canada long-term. You’re not a citizen, but you get many of the same benefits. After a few years, you can apply for citizenship.

Main Ways to Apply for Canada PR from India

1. Express Entry

This is the fastest and most popular path. It’s for skilled workers. You get points based on:

• Age
• Education
• Work experience
• English or French skills

Steps:

• Check your score using the CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System).
• Create an online profile.
• Wait for an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
• If invited, submit your documents and fees.

2. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Each Canadian province has its own program. If a province needs workers with your skills, it can invite you.

Good for:

• People with lower CRS scores.
• Those with job offers in specific provinces.

3. Family Sponsorship

If you have close family in Canada, they may sponsor you. This works for:

• Spouses
• Parents
• Dependent children

4. Study First, Apply Later

Study in Canada, then apply for PR. This path is longer, but it helps you gain Canadian work experience, which boosts your PR score.

Documents You’ll Need

• Passport
• Education credentials (ECA report)
• IELTS test results
• Work experience letters
• Police clearance
• Medical exam results

Keep all papers updated and error-free. Missing or wrong info can cause delays.

Cost to Apply for PR

Expect to spend around ₹1.5 to ₹2.5 lakh (INR), including fees, tests, and document checks.

Pro Tip: Plan your budget before starting.

It usually takes 6 to 12 months. Times may vary depending on your case and the type of program.
