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:

Steps:

- Create an online profile.
- Wait for an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

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