AAIP-Express Entry Stream – Key Pathway for Canada PR in 2024
In 2024, the latest AAIP-Express Entry stream has evolved into a pivotal pathway for securing a Canada Permanent Resident (PR) Visa, thanks to its low Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score requirement. With increasing immigration demand, this stream provides a strategic opportunity for candidates with lower CRS scores to attain permanent residency. It serves as a crucial avenue for individuals aspiring to make Canada their permanent home, aligning with the dynamic landscape of immigration policies.
