FAMILY SPONSORSHIPS

If you are a Canadian permanent resident or citizen with a family member who wants to immigrate to Canada, you may be able to help them become a permanent resident. Family reunification remains one of the pillars of the Canadian immigration system.

To be eligible, the person seeking sponsorship must be a:
  • Spouse, common-law or conjugal partner
  • Dependent child
  • Parent
  • Grandparent
  • Sibling, nephew, niece, or grandchild under 18 years who is unmarried and whose parents are deceased

    BUSINESS PERMIT

    Canada offers immense opportunity for enterprising businesses. With some of the world’s leading cities,mature financial and healthcare sectors, and a growing industry, Canada offers great scope for businesses. Activate Immigration can help you access this vast pool of opportunity with our Canada Business Visa solutions.

    This program encourages immigrant entrepreneurs to develop their startups in Canada. Successful applicants can tie up with private companies in Canada and receive help on funding and guidance on running their business. However, this visa program has specific guidelines on the ownership and shareholding requirements for a startup.

    WORK PERMIT

    A work permit is a legal document permitting a foreign national to engage in employment while inside of Canada. Each year, Canada issues about half a million work permits to temporary foreign workers around the world. Canada is a prime destination for many foreign nationals who are seeking employment opportunities. Working in Canada is also an excellent first step for those seeking to immigrate to the country permanently.

    The process for obtaining a Canadian work permit varies greatly depending on which type of work permit a person is applying for.

    PERMANENT RESIDENCE

    Skilled workers applying directly for permanent residence mainly come through Express Entry.
    Canada Express Entry manages the intake of skilled workers to the main federal economic programs, plus certain provincial streams.

    Candidates wishing to come to Canada through one of these programs must first register a profile in the Express Entry pool.

    This profile is given a score against a Comprehensive Ranking System, with the highest scoring profiles receiving an Invitation to Apply in regular draws.

    There are many ways in which candidates can boost their score while in the Express Entry Pool, including by securing a qualified job offer in Canada, depending on the skill level.
