A 2020 study by Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) found that of the applicants granted PR through Express Entry, 95% were established economically (with both high employment rates, and level of income). Of these, 83% were working in their primary field, and nearly half were working in professions that usually required a university degree. In addition, successful applicants were earning higher salaries than the average Canadian worker.
In light of this, it is important to note that there are costs associated with applying for Express Entry that applicants will have to incur, to successfully move through the program.

Workers whose hiring would significantly benefit Canada economically, culturally, or socially are eligible for the Significant Benefit Work Visa (SBWP), a special work permit.
Candidates for the SBWP will not require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) as part of the International Mobility Program (IMP). Using the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), Canada conducts an internal assessment known as the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to determine the impact hiring a foreign worker would have on the Canadian labour market.
The SBWP stream is intended for situations where an LMIA would typically be necessary, but practical concerns (extended LMIA processing timeframes) or a lack of an adequate application stream make this impractical. This is done so that Canada can still benefit from the foreign worker's presence. Significant in this context includes—but is not limited to—advancement of a Canadian industry, broad economic support for Canada, improvements in Canadians' health and well-being, etc.

Ontario is Canada's top immigration destination. Through the Ontario Candidates Program (PNP), called the Ontario Immigrant Candidates Program (OINP), immigrants can receive provincial candidates who can apply for permanent residency.
OINP was established in 2007 to address skill shortages in certain areas and provide easier investment opportunities for the state. Her 2022 quota for the state is 9,750 nominations.
An OINP immigration flow consists of a basic flow and an extended flow. Enhanced Streams works with the federal government's Express Entry system, which manages permanent residency applications through Canada's three major economy-class immigration programs.
The Express Entry system will score candidates based on a comprehensive ranking system "CRS" and the highest ranking candidates will be invited to apply for permanent residency. If the candidate is nominated from an enhanced state program, they will receive an additional 600 points, essentially guaranteeing an Invitation to Permanent Residency (ITA).
Conversely, Basic Streams are not for Express Entry, so candidates apply directly to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Inland spousal sponsorship applicants can work in Canada while their permanent resident applications are being processed.
Spousal sponsorship is an integral component of Canada’s family class immigration efforts, as Canada places a big emphasis on keeping loved ones together in this country.
The larger category of spousal sponsorship breaks down into two similar but still distinct sub-sections — inland spousal sponsorship and outland spousal sponsorship.

state has world-class universities and a growing tech economy.
When you arrive, you can think back to BC. The city looks like California. This is because the

French language is protected and more than three quarters of the population are French
speakers. All signs must be in French and most school-age children attend French speaking
schools.
The provincial government prioritizes French-speaking newcomers.
Quebec is also the world’s largest producer of maple syrup. Over 70% of global syrup production
happens in the province, which was once the site of a maple syrup heist that saw more than $18
million in syrup go missing! a, the thieves were later caught.
Population size: 8,653,184 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 33,385 in 2021
9. Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is one of Canada's Atlantic provinces, and fishing has
historically been a big industry. But so is shipbuilding and manufacturing.
There are many Scottish immigrants in the county, resulting in a rich Gaelic
and Celtic culture. Universities in Nova Scotia are known for their specific
programs outside of Canada.
Do you like watching the tide come in? The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia
has some of the highest tides in the world. 160 billion tons of seawater

population. Cold winters and severe storms are expected here. I need a good pair of
boots!
The state relies on forestry, mining, fishing, tourism and potato chips. The small town of
Florenceville Bristol is often referred to as the potato chip capital of the world. About a
third of the world's frozen French fries are made there, and there's even a museum
dedicated to the much-loved potato called "The Potato World."
Population size: 800,243 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 2,689 in 2021

Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the less populous states, but offers
many opportunities and jobs in fields such as mining and manufacturing. The
state is known for its local culture, quality seafood and friendly residents.
It is also known for the first transatlantic flight in 1919. John Alcock and
Arthur Brown flew 16 hours from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to Ireland.
Population size: 522,875 (as of 2022)
Newcomers arriving: 885 in 2021
12. Prince Edward Island
Best known for his Lobster Rolls and Green Gables' Anne series, P.E.I. It's
Canada's smallest province. One of the longest bridges in the world connects the
island to the mainland. One of the downsides of living here is the lack of access
to some special forms of healthcare. Residents will be sent to the mainland for
certain formalities.
Prince Edward Island is known for tourism and fishing. As the name suggests, it
is not an island. The state actually contains 232 islands. On all these islands, PEI
also has many lighthouses. There are still 63 lighthouses, but only 35 are
currently in operation.
Population size: 167,680 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 1,211 in 2021
13. Yukon
Known for its gold rush stories in the Yukon, mining remains the largest industry in the region. But
tourism is also a big industry in Whitehorse and beyond. Tourists from all over the world come to
watch the Northern Lights and enjoy dog sledding.
The Yukon Territory is home to a large number of indigenous peoples and a rich cultural history. As
with all Canadian territories, the cost of living is high. During winter, most essentials have to be
shipped by air, resulting in high grocery bills.
Most people don't know that the Yukon is the highest mountain in Canada and Mount Logan is the
second highest mountain in North America.
Population size: 43,249 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 300 in 2021
14. Northwestern Territories
The Northwest Territories are beautiful, but expensive. This is a sparsely
populated area and there is no high-speed internet access anywhere.
However, with the booming tourism and mining industries, newcomers may
have good opportunities due to the lack of skilled and professional workers .
Like the Yukon, there are many indigenous peoples in the Northwest
Territories. They have a similar high cost of living, as it is difficult to get
essentials to the city and build new homes during the winter.
In addition to being known for its cold weather, the region is also known as
the diamond capital of North America. There are several diamond mines in
the Northwest Territories.
Population size: 45,607 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 144 in 2021
15. Nunavut
The northernmost territory, Nunavut has beautiful Arctic wildlife and scenery and is populated
primarily by the Inuit people. The territory faces significant resource and development issues, as
well as an extremely high cost of living due to the difficulties of getting necessary food and
building materials into the territory.
While opportunities here are limited and access to things like post-secondary education and
specialized medical care limited without travelling out-of-territory, there’s a need for certain
professions in Nunavut.
Ever dream of going to Mars? Turns out Nunavut’s climate is so similar to what Mars’ climate is
believed to be that the Haughton-Mars Project trains astronauts there for future Mars missions.
Population size: 40,103 as of 2022
