How to Move to Canada from India With Family 2024?

 

When you are preparing to move to Canada with family, there are a lot of things you need to take care of before and after the beginning of the whole process.

In case of a single applicant, though, the preparations are similar; however, less process burden is there, as he has to prepare himself only for the visa process.

On the other hand, if you are immigrating to Canada from India with family, you have to not only get your documents ready but also make certain the documents and other things of your family members are also intact.

Not just the documents, the Canadian government has issued several guidelines and instructions for the families moving to Canada on a permanent residence visa.

Let’s find out briefly the process of Moving to Canada from India with family.

Which is the Best Immigration Program to Move to Canada from India?

Well, federal Express Entry system is hands down the best program to apply and obtain the permanent residency in Canada from India.

Being online and point based system, it has become the popular choice of the people migrating to Canada from India.

You can register your profile on express entry and it will be evaluated by Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) based on some selection factors, i.e. age, education, language skills, work experience, adaptability, etc.

In the primary round, you need to score 67 points out of 100 based on these factors under the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category.

Once clearing the first round you will reach express entry pool where you need 440 plus score out of 1200 as per the latest express entry draw cut off. Your score calculated in EE pool is called CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score.

(Note: You need to provide documents to confirm your language proficiency (i.e. IELTS Test score with minimum CLB 7 score) and ECA (Educational Credential Assessment from WES (World Education Service) or any other approved institution.)
