If an immigrant worker has been qualified for one of Canada’s Federal Immigration Programs, they may also later qualify for permanent resident status. The country’s Federal Immigration Programs include the Skilled Worker Program, the Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class Program.
Highly skilled workers and business owners can become permanent Canadian residents after immigrating to the country on a temporary work basis. The Canadian government’s Federal Express Entry System selects high-scoring applicants from the talent pool according to the metrics laid out by the Comprehensive Ranking System. Throughout the month, the government selects its favorite applicants and offers them the chance to obtain permanent residence in the country.
A highly skilled worker may be able to obtain permanent Canadian residency within six months, provided that they submit all the necessary paperwork and their skills are valued by the government and its economy.

In addition to federal programs like the Federal Express Entry System, each Canadian province and territory has its own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). A PNP may provide an opportunity for business owners, senior-level executives, and company managers to immigrate to Canada.
The foreign applicant submits to the program, and the PNP weighs whether they believe the applicant could be valuable to the economy of their province or territory. Applicants who express a desire to become permanent residents of Canada and live in that province or territory will be given priority over those who do not. Each province and territory values workers of different skill levels. One province may value business owners and skilled workers, whereas the next province prioritizes a younger workforce and targets groups of students or semi-skilled workers.
