Today we're going to look at one of my favorite topics How to immigrate to Canada without a job offer. And specifically we're going to be looking at the Ontario Provincial Nominee program or the Ontario PNP.

it's interesting to me because one of the things that I hear time and time again is, "Monty, I need a job to emigrate to Canada. Well, obviously having a job does help. But in many situations, and in many circumstances, it's not necessary and you can immigrate to Canada without a job offer.

And when most people think of emigrating to Canada, they think of the Express Entry System and the visas that granted on the back of that system ie Federal Skilled Worker Federal Skilled Trade, Canada Experience Class but they seem to overlook always the PNP the Provincial Nominee program.

I think this myth really of having to need a job offer before one can immigrate to Canada on Express Entry is because express entry uses the comprehensive ranking system CRS, and during the CRS points are accumulated based on a number of different factors and for Express Entry these are called Human Capital factors.

But essentially, in most cases, express entry candidates do not require a job offer, although having won does obviously result in a higher number of points. And therefore a better chance of being invited to apply for permanent residency.

However, the PNP or Provincial Nominee program does things a little bit differently. The PNP was introduced to ensure a fairer or more balanced distribution of the benefits of immigration throughout the provinces, with each province given the autonomy to determine its own set of nomination requirements.

So depending on your age, employment, the role that you do, the experience that you have, the qualifications that you hold, it may well be that you can fit better or easier into one particular province rather than the other.

So you might be asking why I chose to focus on Ontario. The Ontario Provincial Nominee program is called the OINP, and you probably see a reference like this online and in the news, but essentially, Ontario gets about 1/3, so 33% of all newcomers in Canada arrive in Ontario as their first destination. 

And why is this? Why do people tend to head to Ontario as opposed to any other province? Well, really, it's got to be the employment opportunities, high wages and diverse population every time those three things come up, employment opportunities, high wages, diverse population. 

So how then do you emigrate to Canada, Ontario in this instance, without a job offer? 

Well, the first thing you need to do is make an application under what's something called the Ontario Express Entry, human capital priority stream. Now, as you can expect, the OINP priority scheme is limited to some very specific roles and jobs. 

So first of all, software engineers and designers, if you're currently a software engineer or designer, and you have the right skills, the right experience and the right qualifications, then Ontario is going to be a very interesting possibility for you.

Today we answer the question. Can I sponsor my spouse or partner for Canadian immigration? The answer is quite possibly "Yes". Because bringing families together, reuniting families is one of the main aims of Canada's entire immigration system. So here is how you can sponsor your loved one for Canadian permanent residency status.

First up, who can actually sponsor? Who can who can actually act as the sponsor to bring people into Canada? Well, Canadian citizens obviously, but also permanent residents may sponsor their spouse, common law partner, or indeed boyfriend or girlfriend to obtain Canadian permanent residency. And it goes without saying that the Department of Immigration in Canada IRCC does recognize or same sex relationships the same way as heterosexual relationships.

So next up, most people say to me, "Hey, Monty, what's the eligibility criteria for sponsors?" Well, the eligibility criteria to sponsor your spouse, common law partner, boyfriend girlfriend, is as follows:

Quite simply, you must be 18 years old, you must either be a Canadian citizen, a Canadian permanent resident, you must be able to show that you can meet the financial needs of your sponsee or your loved one in Canada.

You must demonstrate that you're not receiving social benefits or social assistance unless of course it's a disability benefit or disability assistance. If you're a Canadian citizen currently living overseas or abroad, not in Canada, you need to demonstrate that you intend to live in Canada with your partner as soon as they gain permanent residency.

Permanent Residents looking to sponsor must actually reside in Canada at the time of submitting this sponsorship application. If you're a Canadian citizen, you could be based abroad when you make the application.

Other questions I get are, "Monty, who can you actually sponsor?" And again, the answer is relatively straightforward. Sponsored individuals obviously have to be 18 years old, but fall into one of the following categories:

They must either be your common law partner (not legally married to you, but they have been living with you for at least 12 consecutive months). They must either be your spouse or your conjugal partner (that your partner is not legally married to you but has been in a relationship with you for at least a year lives outside of Canada, but unable to marry you due to religious, legal or some other cultural obstacles).

So how then does one submit a sponsorship application to the IRCC? Well, you need to submit two applications, the sponsorship application and a permanent residency application.

And interestingly, the IRCC asks you to submit both of these applications together at the same time. So step one, is confirm you meet the eligibility criteria to sponsor and for a real breakdown of that eligibility criteria. Head over to EmigrateCanada.com for more information.

Step two is to download the application package directly from the IRCCs website. And again, EmigrateCanada.com has the direct link through there to the website. You must pay all of the fee

Today we're going to look at all you need to know to immigrate to Canada from Iran. Now, this is a guide to Canadian immigration for Iranians and we include topics such as visas, jobs, and relocate into Canada. So, how to immigrate to Canada from Iran? Well, I think there are many reasons why people want to immigrate to Canada from Iran, such as creating a better future for their families, good work life balance, furthering studies or maybe just to be in a larger economy more connected to the powerhouse of the United States with the career opportunities that that brings as well. 

Many Iranian citizens immigrate to Canada as the first stage, I think in their eventual immigration to the USA because with a Canadian passport, the new immigrant Canadian citizens are allowed to really choose whether to remain in Canada or to go through the process or at least start the process of living and working in the United States. 

When most people immigrate to Canada from Iran, they have deep family or personal reasons for moving. For some, it's a lifelong dream and for others, I think it's about space and quality of life. And it ties in greatly with Canadian immigration, which is going through probably a once in a lifetime opportunity, with the Canadian government announcing a critical need for a further 400,000 highly skilled migrants over the next 12 to 14 months. 

One of the questions that I get asked a lot is Hey, Monty, is it easy to immigrate to Canada from Iran? Well, the great thing about Canadian immigration and those looking to immigrate to Canada, is that Canada makes very little distinction between nationalities which when it comes to immigrating to Canada from Iran, both expats in Iran and Iranian citizens obviously treated in a similar manner. 

And whilst it's certainly not easy for an Iranian citizen to immigrate to Canada, it is slightly more easier than if you were to choose to immigrate to the United States, for example, how to immigrate out of Iran to Canada. Most clients thinking of immigrating from Iran to Canada have a more permanent move in mind with Canadian permanent residency as their aim. 

Canadian permanent residency allows Iranian holders of Canadian PR and their immediate families to live and work in Canada. enter and leave the country as often as they like without the need for any further visas, access medical care, access the Canadian education system for their children own property and businesses in Canada. 

But I think best of all, is the fact that Canadian permanent residency visas do convert into full Canadian citizenship. So what then are the main categories of Canada immigration from Iran? There are six main categories of Canadian immigration. Federal Skilled Worker, Quebec skilled worker, Provincial Nominee program, family sponsorship, business, immigrant and Canadian Experience Class.

Each immigration class targets a different group of migrants and has its own unique set of requirements. And if you're looking at permanent residency straight off the bat  so federal skilled worker visa, Federal Skilled Trades provincial nomination, Canada Experience Class) the first stage is going to be making that all important Express Entry application. So express entry is a two step process is actually very, very simple. 

It's designed to be as straightforward as possible. It's designed for people to be able to make their own applications, especially at this stage and so there is no need for you to rush off and find a Canadian immigration agent or a migration lawyer. None at all. You're able to do it yourself.
