Canadian Immigration & Citizenship

GBWS

Canadian Immigration & Citizenship

Immigration to Canada is the legal process for foreign nationals to enter, live, work, or settle permanently under various IRCC-approved programs.
Canadian citizenship is the legal status confirming an individual as a member of Canada, granting full rights and responsibilities under nationality law.
GBWS simplifies both immigration and citizenship processes with experienced guidance and compliance assurance.

Immigration and Citizenship Pathways

Canada offers multiple pathways for newcomers and residents to secure their place in the country:

Express Entry (Skilled Workers) – Includes FSWP, FSTP, and CEC programs. Applicants are ranked using the CRS based on age, education, work experience, and language proficiency.

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – Provinces nominate skilled workers based on local labor needs.

Family Sponsorship – Citizens and PRs can sponsor spouses, parents, and dependent children.

Study and Work Permits – For students and professionals with valid offers and eligibility.

Refugee and Humanitarian Programs – For those seeking protection under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Citizenship by Naturalization – Permanent residents meeting the 3-year residency, language, and tax criteria can apply for citizenship.
