For foreigners, there are several who want to immigrate to Canada.

The Express Entry program allows one to immigrate as a skilled worker. A start-up visa can be used to immigrate by starting a business and creating jobs. One can emigrate as a self-employed person for cultural or sporting activities.

The transition from temporary resident to permanent resident is another popular way to get PR in Canada. The process from temporary resident to permanent resident is a limited-duration process to permanent residence. It is intended for certain temporary residents currently working in Canada and their families.

Once a foreigner becomes a permanent resident, they can sponsor their family members, including spouse, partner, children, parents, grandparents and others, to immigrate to Canada. One can also become a Canadian citizen by being nominated by a Canadian province or territory. People can also emigrate as caregivers by providing care to children, the elderly or people with medical needs, or working as a live-in caregiver.
