Multiple global surveys, immigration opinion polls reaffirm the fact: Canada is ranked No.1 in the best immigration destination with Australia in fourth place and the United States in sixth place.
Thus, beginning on a positive note, here are some important weekly Canada Immigration events concerning those willing to obtain permanent residence:
15,000 People Obtained Canada PR in September
Canada is known to welcome 35,000 immigrants to apply for Canada PR in September 2019. However, the coronavirus pandemic slowed down the new permanent resident intake with just 15000 were welcomed in September 2020.
Overall, Canada has welcomed about 143,500 immigrants between January and September this year. Canada welcomed 264,000 immigrants in the first nine months in 2019 and over 341,000 immigrants in total last year.
It meant that Canada is on pace to fall short of 200,000 immigrants by the end of the year.
The fall in immigration is fulfilled by the new Immigration Levels Plan for 2021-2023. Click to know more details.
Canada PNP Draws
| British Columbia | 358 provincial nominations under Express Entry & Skills Immigration categories |
| Manitoba | 205 provincial nominations under Skilled Worker in Manitoba, Skilled Workers Overseas and International Education Stream. |

- Corporate sales managers (NOC 0601);
- Financial auditors and accountants (NOC 1111);

- Professional occupations in business management consulting (NOC 122);
- Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses (NOC 3012);
- Allied primary health practitioners (NOC 3124); or
- Dieticians and nutritionists (NOC 3132).
In fact, any foreign skilled worker with adequate work experience is eligible to apply for a provincial nomination even without having worked in Canada before. Canada PNP draws last week included candidates registered in the Express Entry pool.

Why Obtaining Canada PR Easy?
According to its new Immigration Levels Plan, Canada will welcome over 400,000 eligible immigrants annually until 2023. Under the plan, economic-class programs such as Federal programs for Skilled Workers, Businesses, Caregivers and various other family immigration programs are given a boost.
Together, such immigration programs will contribute to about 80% of new immigrants in the upcoming years in Canada. Contact our immigration consultants to determine your eligibility.
Canada has wide acceptance for offering permanent residence to foreign skilled workers even without working in Canada prior to applying. Canada PR is especially open for foreign professionals having work experience as Computer Engineers, Software Developers, IT Experts, Electronics, Mechanical, Civil Engineers, Database Analysts, Graphics Designers, Audio & Video Recording Technicians, etc. A few dedicated Tech pilots like Ontario Tech Draw and British Columbia Tech Pilot, the federal Express Entry system is best suited for such aspirants to obtain permanent residence.
Canada made few changes in the evaluation criteria under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. This was done to favour French-speaking or bilingual Express Entry candidates and increase immigration of such candidates to 4.4% outside the Quebec region.
Ultimately, Canada is majorly dependent on immigration to strengthen its economy. On the social front, Canada is giving equal impetus to family immigration to support its aging population and improve its problem of low birth rate.
