Canada is a beautiful country and is the world’s second-largest country for its size. It is considered as an ideal destination for aspiring immigrants who want to move for better career prospects and living standards.
However, the key question that pops up in a person’s head when they think about making a move is, “wherein Canada I should move to?”. With ten provinces and three territories, the decision can be challenging. After deciding, an individual may refer to an online Canada PNP Tracker and find out which provincial nominee programs are accepting applications.
But, as mentioned, before you apply for Canada PR Visa, you must choose a province where you are interested in moving. Thus, to help you find out the best Canadian province where you can live with your family, we have came up with a list of top 5 provinces in Canada.
Ontario is a home to beautiful cities and serene towns, which offers something for everyone. Being one of the most versatile provinces in Canada, you can enjoy living in a big city like Toronto and Ottawa to experience the happening nightlife or be a part of small town like Newmarket to enjoy a relaxed life.
Additionally, Ontario is a great destination for international students as well. The province has a few finest universities in North America, including the University of Toronto, University of Waterloo and McGill University. All three are among top fifty universities of North America.
British Columbia is Canada’s second-largest province for its population and size. British Columbia is known for its picturesque natural surroundings, and there are a lot of great cities you can move to and live a better life with family.
With many provincial parks and national parks, you can channel the nature lover in you in British Columbia. You can experience mountain climbing, biking, skiing, kayaking, snowboarding, etc. But, that doesn’t make British Columbia a perfect place for winter sports; the province also has beautiful beaches for you to have summertime fun in clear and cold water.
Also, B.C. is home to Vancouver, one of the most lively cities in Canada, which is also named among the world’s best cities to live in. The city is safe and offers excellent job opportunities and a high standard of living at an affordable cost.
Alberta is yet another popular immigration destination, known for its safe surroundings and reasonable living standards. It is the fourth largest Canadian province and one of the most cost-effective places to live in.
The minimum wage in Alberta is around $3 more than the average wage in Canada and is noteworthy because other provinces like Ontario only manage to raise the minimum wage by 25 cents annually.
Not only this, Alberta’s employment rate is significantly high, and there is a constant creation of jobs in sectors like retail, automotive service, tourism, contractors and health workers.
What adds a feather to Alberta’s reputation as one of the best Canadian provinces is that there is no provincial sales tax. The tax on goods is nearly 5% compared to another province named Prince Edward Island, where the tax rate is around 15%.
Located in the centre of Canada between Manitoba and Alberta, Saskatchewan is quite a fun place to enjoy activities like camping, hunting and fishing.
Also, when in Saskatchewan, you can live a comfortable life, thanks to its lowest cost of living in Canada. The cost of housing, schooling and healthcare is reasonable enough to manage your expenses effectively.
Manitoba is another Canadian province where things can be within your means. It is among three Prairie Provinces and has an abundance of beautiful lakes, and mountain ranges spanned throughout the province.
When in Manitoba, you get homes, insurance, education and healthcare at the lowest prices. You can save up to $75,000 of income annually. Also, Manitoba’s big cities, Regina and Brandon, are among the world’s best and safest cities to live in, along with affordable housing and a low unemployment rate.

Canada ranks as the best county in the world based on various parameters of human living. This is the reason that every year a significant number of people move to Canada on skilled PR (Permanent Residence) visa. However, not every Canada immigration aspirant possess a job offer from a Canadian employer. So, what such applicants do? Is there any pathway to immigrate to Canada without job offer? Well, if this is also your question, then the answer is yes.
Express Entry pathway
Canada’s Express Entry System is the point-based immigration program of the maple leaf county. It is popular among worldwide skilled professionals seeking PR (Permanent Residence) visa in Canada. Although, you do get valuable immigration points, if you have a job offer, however, still the job offer is not compulsory to apply.
Key selection factors of the EE system are, age, education, language skills, work experience, adaptability and arranged employment. As a skilled worker, you need to obtain minimum 67 points out of 100 under FSW (Federal Skilled Worker) category of the system. IF you fulfil the point’s requirement, you can register profile in the system and find place in the Express Entry pool. The IRCC (Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada) will conduct a draw every two weeks to choose top rankings, and then issue the Invitations to Apply (ITA) for PR (Permanent Residence) visa. Once you get the ITA, submit complete Canada PR application and documents within 60 days. The IRCC will verify the submitted application and documents and accordingly you will get the PR visa.
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
If your CRS score is not high enough to get the ITA, you may also apply to appropriate PNP – Express Entry system. This particular PNP stream helps increase your total immigration point score or Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score in the system. Some popular Canadian PNPs are:
Most of these Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) also provide the pathway to obtain Canadian PR visa without any job offer requirement. If you are interested in applying for Canadian PR visa, without job offer, you may check your eligibility status for relevant program.

Canada is largely popular as an ideal immigration destination among the several other advanced countries. However, the immigrant friendly character of Canada has never been a concern for the immigration applicants, particularly in India. The concern, which bothers most of the Canada immigration aspirants in India, is the success probability, once they apply for Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada.

Having said that, Canada has undergone several immigration rule changes in the last couple of years, especially, after the Liberals took over the charge and formed the cabinet at centre. Hence, many applicants are confused about the status and often seen asking question, i.e.
What is the probability of obtaining Canadian PR Visa from India?
As already mentioned above, the Canadian government has transformed the immigration system of Canada in the last couple of years. Fortunately, all these changes in last 2 years have been positive from immigrants’ point of view. The government is willing to invite more and more applicants today. This, in fact, is evident from the Annual Immigration Target of Canada for last two years (i.e. over 300,000). The government has also modified the immigration rules and guidelines to make Canada immigration pathways relatively simpler for tens of thousands of people looking to get PR in Canada through different channels.
The government has also been lenient on family members of the immigration applicants as well as immigrants settled in Canada. It is evident from below two announcements of the Canadian government within last one year.
The year 2017 has been Outstanding in terms of Massive Canada PR Invitations issued
The government continued to relax immigration requirement in the year 2017 as well. The IRCC (Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada) has implemented a few key changes to federal express entry immigration system this year.
The other good thing that IRCC has done in the favour of Canada immigration applicants this year is a considerable reduction in the cut off marks (CRS Score requirement) vide Express Entry Draws. As a result, a massive number of applicants registered in federal express entry system got the invitation to apply for permanent residency in Canada. This year, until July 2017, close to 55,000 applicants received the ITA (Invitation to Apply) for Canada PR from IRCC.
Therefore, you can see that the chances of obtaining Canada PR Visa this year are certainly bright in view of relaxed immigration requirements and low qualifying marks. The government of Canada is also keen to invite skilled and talented people from overseas to combat the skill shortage in the country.

Ontario has announced that they will be eying the priority occupations, which have increased demand in the province. The ICT is one of such priority occupations in Ontario as well as in Canada. As per a recent report, Canada needs about 1,80,000 ICT graduates by 2019 to fill the vacancies across its fast-growing industries and organisations. Hence, in the week beginning June 26, Ontario will target Information and Communications Technology Sector (ICT) occupations and subsequently, issue them NOI (Notification of Interest). The Ontario will issue the NOI to the candidates to apply in the Express Entry- Human Capital Priorities (HCP) stream of OINP.
The Candidates with CRS (Comprehensive Ranking system) score below 400 points will also be selected, provided they have ICT experience. Usually, Ontario has set the criteria of 400 CRS points to issue NOI to the candidates in the Express Entry pool.
Process after NOI
Once a candidate has received the NOI (Notification of Interest) from Ontario, he/she will have to register their profile in the OINP e-filing portal within six months of the receiving the NOI. After six months, the validity of NOI will expire.
After registering in the profile in OINP e-filing portal, a candidate will get 14 days to complete and submit their application for Express entry- HCP stream of OINP. However, the deadline of 14 days must not be confused with the NOI validity period of six months.
Apart from inviting priority occupations, Ontario will continue to issue NOIs to the express entry pool candidates as per its regular process, i.e. selecting and inviting candidates with 400 or above CRS points.

Are you preparing to apply for a PR visa in Canada? Well, your decision is absolutely justified looking at the lenient immigration policy of Canada and number of job options there for the immigration workers. However, if you are moving to Canada as a Skilled Worker, you need to follow a dedicated process. It is certainly not identical to the process for visit visa or tourist visa, where you directly apply for the visa without much of the hassles with regards to eligibility requirements.
Also Read- Top Destinations to Visit in Canada on Tourist Visa
To move to Canada on PR Visa as a skilled worker, you need to apply in any of the relevant immigration programs and fulfil the criteria to get invited for the PR visa.
Eligibility Occupation List
The candidates looking for Canada PR often remain confused about Eligibility Occupation List of Canada. The countries like Australia have a dedicated occupation list for which they invite application annually. This list gets revised on annual basis.
However, unlike Australia, Canada does not have any federal or central occupation list to invite permanent or temporary visa applications. To understand the Occupation list system of Canada, you first need to find the details about PR visa pathways in Canada.
Canada PR pathways
In Canada, there are two key pathways to get Permanent Residency Visa, i.e.
Federal Express Entry System
Express Entry is the federal online immigration system of Canada. It asks interested candidates to register online and subsequently, issue them invitations to apply for PR Visa, based on the points they have scored for the key profile factors, i.e. age, education, work experience, language ability, etc.
The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is the key stream of Express Entry Stream designed especially for the overseas skilled workers.
Express Entry Eligible occupation list
To be eligible to apply in the FSWP sub-category, a candidate must have skills and experience matching the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 0, A and B occupations. However, NOC occupation list is not a high demand occupation list of Canada; rather it’s the list to refer to confirm your eligibility for Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).
Apply through Provincial Immigration Programs
Now, the other key pathway to get PR in Canada is to apply in the immigration programs of the Canadian provinces, i.e. apply in any of the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) or Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP). These programs run their separate streams as well as stream linked with express entry system to invite candidates to apply in their immigration programs.
Also read- Canada is likely to keep Minimum Immigration Target of 300,000 Next Year as well
Selected candidates get the nomination from the province, which in turn make the applicants eligible to apply for Canada PR to IRCC. The provinces do have their high demand occupation lists. Hence, if you are applying in any of the Provincial Nominee Programs, you may refer to separate high demand occupation list
of that particular Canadian province.
Get Professional Assistance to Apply for Canada PR
Finally, the occupation list phenomenon of Canada is quite different from the Skilled Occupation Lists of Australia. If you seek professional help, assistance or support to apply in any of the Canadian Provincial Nominee Programs or Federal Express Entry System, you may send your queries and details to info@visasavenue.com.

As per the renowned economist, Richard Saillant, one among the five individuals in Atlantic Canada is a senior citizen and in next 20 years, it will be one among three.
The intellectuals in the region are in touch with the federal government and proposing the steps to control the situation, i.e. launching of new immigration programs for Atlantic Canada to attract immigrants in the region, making it compulsory for immigrants to spend 3 years in the region to become eligible for the citizenship and so on.
