Steps Nigerians will take to travel to Canada

The requirements and steps depend on the path you take which centers on two main categories:

Provincial Nominee Program 

Most of the Provinces and territories in Canada offer programs that address the skills that are lacking in the local economy. The Provincial Nominee Program is a program that focuses on individuals who have the education, skills, and work experience to contribute to the economy of a particular Province. The program centers on graduates, semi-skilled and skilled workers. Each of the Provinces has streams designated to meet the needs of their labor markets that usually target particular categories of people.

The Provincial Nominee Program allows different Provinces in Canada to nominate individuals interested in settling in a particular province. The program aims at enhancing a broader and even distribution of immigrants across the country.

The following steps are required to qualify for the Provincial Nominee Program:

  1. Immigrants are required to apply for nomination to the Province they want to live in.
  2. Immigrants need to possess the necessary skills, qualifications, and work experience for the Province to nominate them.
  3. When approved by the Province, applicants should submit another application to the government for Canadian permanent resident status.

Express Entry System

Express Entry System is a system created by the Canadian government to address labor market shortages in the economy. The express entry system consists of immigration programs that enable skilled individuals to migrate to Canada as residents. The system offers some federal programs for skillful or experienced workers under the following categories:

  • Federal Skilled Trades Program for candidates who are certified and skilled in particular trades.
  • Federal Skilled Worker Program for skilled workers who have qualifications with a minimum of one year of work experience.
  • Canada Experience Class for candidates who have worked in certain occupations in Canada for at least one year.

Steps to take in the Express Entry Program

The steps to take in the express entry program include:

  • Creating an Express Entry Profile

Interested candidates are required to apply through the Express Entry System by creating an online profile. Applicants are usually ranked or scored following a ranking system known as the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Comprehensive Ranking System is a points-based system that awards points to profiles created according to specified criteria that include:

  1. Age
  2. Skills
  3. Canadian language benchmark – proficiency in English and French
  4. Work Experience
  5. Level of Education

  4. Work experience documents which include reference letters and employment letters.

  7. Travel document or valid passport

Candidates ranked with high profiles following the Comprehensive Ranking System are given Invitations to Apply for permanent residency in Canada.
