Express Entry System

India happens to be the top source country for immigrants who want to settle in Canada from overseas. As an immigrant-friendly country that aspires to invite more immigrants and promote the economy further, Canada is constantly trying to provide more opportunities. As of now, immigration candidates have access to over 100 different permanent residence pathways that they can choose from if they decide to immigrate.

Canada’s popularity among Indian immigrants

According to the 2016 census, there were around 1,374,710 people of Indian origin in Canada. The numbers have increased exponentially since then. Indian citizens made up a quarter of the 341,000 immigrants welcomed by Canada in 2019. A close examination of the distribution of applicants via the Express Entry system revealed that Indians made up close to half of the principal applicants who were invited by the country to apply for permanent residence in the period between 2017 and 2019. To put things into perspective, just 7% of invitations were given to immigrants hailing from Nigeria and China.

Candidates can also apply for a provincial nomination that will help them further in attaining permanent residence. This is an excellent option for people who are targeting a specific province or territory. Individuals who can satisfy the labor needs of a particular province receive a nomination. The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) offers plenty of options.
