Moving to Canada from India can be a challenging decision due to the numerous immigration programs available, with the most commonly selected program being the Express Entry program.

According to the latest Immigration Levels Plan for 2024-2026 from IRCC, the targeted number of invitations has increased by approximately 4.3% for 2024. This increase applies to Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs and other economic programs.

Many highly qualified Indian expats living in various regions have professional work experience, which places them in a higher position in the express entry pool.

Canada Study Visa

Provincial Nominee Program

Canada is made up of 10 provinces. One way to obtain Canadian permanent residency is through the Provincial Nominee Program, which can be facilitated by securing a job offer from a provincial employer.

A large number of Indian IT engineers aspire to work and settle permanently in Canada. Ontario is their top choice due to its strong IT industry and favourable living conditions.

Ontario has its own immigration program, and many IT professional expatriates who are currently employed in the United States or other countries in Canada apply through the Foreign Worker Stream to move to Ontario.
