Economic Immigration & Permanent Residency

Canada offers numerous pathways for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and individuals seeking permanent residency (PR) through economic immigration programs. These programs are designed to attract skilled talent, fill labor shortages, and contribute to Canada’s economy. At Time to Fly Immigration, we provide expert guidance to applicants seeking PR through the Express Entry system, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), and other specialized economic immigration programs. Our team ensures that applications are well-prepared, maximizing your chances of approval.

Express Entry Applications (FSWP, CEC, FSTP)

The Express Entry system is Canada’s primary immigration pathway for skilled workers. It includes three main programs:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP): For skilled professionals with work experience and strong educational qualifications.
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC): For individuals with at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada.
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP): For skilled tradespeople with job offers or certification in Canada.

We assist in profile creation, CRS score optimization, and application submission to improve your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

Each Canadian province and territory has a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) to address its specific labor market needs. Programs like Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), and British Columbia PNP (BC PNP) offer PR pathways to candidates with job offers, work experience, or education in the respective province. We help applicants choose the right PNP stream, prepare applications, and meet nomination requirements.

Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)

The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is for skilled workers and international graduates who want to settle in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward Island. The program requires an employer’s endorsement and a settlement plan. We assist in finding AIP-designated employers, securing job offers, and submitting a strong PR application.

Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP)

The RNIP is designed for skilled workers who wish to settle in smaller communities across Canada. Participating communities offer PR pathways to eligible candidates with job offers. We guide applicants through eligibility checks, employer applications, and PR submissions.

Permanent Resident Card Renewal

PR card renewal is essential to maintain your status and travel rights as a permanent resident. If your PR card is expiring or lost, we assist in gathering the required documentation and submitting an application for renewal. If you haven't met the residency obligation, we help you explore legal options to maintain your PR status.

Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD)

If you are a permanent resident outside Canada without a valid PR card, you will need a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) to re-enter Canada. We assist in preparing strong applications that meet IRCC requirements, ensuring smooth travel back to Canada.
At Time to Fly Immigration, we specialize in economic immigration pathways, helping skilled professionals and workers achieve their dream of becoming Canadian permanent residents. Whether you are applying through Express Entry, PNP, or other specialized programs, we provide comprehensive support to ensure a smooth process.

Frequently Asked Question

Get expert guidance on economic immigration programs, PR applications, processing times, and eligibility requirements for a smooth transition to Canada.

Express Entry is an online system used to manage PR applications for Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades (FST) programs. Candidates create a profile and receive a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on age, education, work experience, and language skills. High-scoring candidates receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for PR.

Yes, many applicants apply for PR under Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) without a job offer, provided they meet the CRS score requirement or are nominated by a province.

Express Entry processing times vary, but most applications are processed within 6 months from the date of ITA submission. PNP-linked Express Entry applications may take longer.

If your PR application is refused, you may request GCMS notes to understand the refusal reason. Options include reapplying with stronger documentation or filing a judicial review in Federal Court if the refusal was unfair.
