Top 4 Ways to Immigrate to Toronto

 Top 4 Ways to Immigrate to Toronto

Toronto is Canada's biggest city and a popular place for newcomers to move to. In fact, in 2021, more than 20% of all people who moved to Canada did so to live in Toronto.

If you want to move to Toronto, you can do it in a number of ways. Here are the top 4 ways people move to Toronto.

#1: Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Express Entry

Express Entry is a way for trained workers to get into the country. It is the most popular way for people to move to Canada, and every year it lets in tens of thousands of new people. The Federal Skilled Worker program is a part of Express Entry for which you don't need to have lived in Canada before.

FSW is a very competitive method that ranks candidates against each other based on their CRS scores. Then, the Canadian government holds regular Express Entry draws, where only the most qualified people who want to move to Canada are chosen. 

The Express Entry method ranks applicants based on their age, level of schooling, ability to speak a language, and work experience.

There are a few reasons why Express Entry is so famous. First of all, the method is one of the fastest ways to become a permanent resident of Canada. The normal working time for Express Entry is just 6 months. Second, Express Entry lets people apply for themselves, their husband, common-law partner, and their children all at the same time.

Express Entry is a great choice if you are young, have a good level of schooling, and can speak English or French very well.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is the second program.

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) that lets Ontario select foreigners for permanent residence in Canada. OINP has a number of different streams, and each one has its own set of qualifying requirements and way to apply. For instance, the Ontario Entrepreneur stream is for people who own businesses and have the skills and money to build them in Ontario.

There are two ways to get help from OINP if you live outside of Canada:

Ontario French-Speaking Skilled Worker (FSSW) and Ontario Human Capital Priorities (HCP).

In order to apply for either of these tracks, candidates must have a current Express Entry record. Through both of these paths, Ontario often chooses people from the Express Entry group by hand. The Human Capital Stream is how Ontario picks people who have experience in a key industry. A candidate must have a CRS score of at least 400 for Ontario to think about them. Ontario uses the French-Speaking Skilled Worker stream to call people from the pool who have shown that they can speak French at an intermediate level.

You should send in your Express Entry resume if you meet the standards for one of these classes.

#3: Going to school in Toronto

Getting a post-secondary education in Canada is a great way to improve your chances of moving to Toronto. Many PNP programs are aimed at Canadian college and university grads. You can also get more points in Express Entry if you have a Canadian schooling.

Post-finish Work Permit (PGWP) can be applied for by most foreign students who finish from a post-secondary school in Canada. The PGWP lets foreign college graduates stay in Canada and work for any company for up to three years. Gaining Canadian work experience is very helpful for permanent immigration. It makes candidates much more competitive in Express Entry's Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or Ontario's International Student PNP.

Some of Canada's best colleges are in the city of Toronto, which is a good thing. The University of Toronto is always listed as one of the best schools in the world. Both York University and Ryerson University in Canada are also well-known schools. There are also a few smaller schools with specialized programs in the city. For example, Humber College has professional programs and the Ontario College of Art and Design has artistic programs.

If you want to keep learning and improve your chances of moving to Canada, studying in Toronto is a great choice.

#4: Getting a job in Toronto

Getting work experience in Canada is a great way to boost your chances of moving to Toronto. Getting a work pass in Canada isn't always easy, but there are a few choices for people who want to work there.

First, you can apply for a work permit if a company in Ontario wants to hire you for a highly skilled job. To be qualified, the company must first get a valid LMIA, which shows that they couldn't find a Canadian to fill the job.

Second, if you work for a foreign company with offices in Canada, you can talk to your boss about moving to one of those offices. Most moves within the same company don't need an LMIA, which makes it easy to get a Canadian work permit.
