Six Selection Factors For Canadian PR

There are very few developed countries that are welcoming immigrants without any fuss and Canada is one of them. If you want a permanent residency in Canada, you need to be eligible for it. Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has fixed some selection factors to verify your eligibility. If you’re planning to apply for Canada’s PR, you must know about these selection factors:

 

1. Age:

Age is the first selection factor considered to check eligibility for PR in Canada. Any individual up to the age of 47 years can apply for Canadian PR. However, as per economic immigration programs such as the Express Entry system or Federal skilled worker, the applicants of age 18-35 years score maximum points. Your points start decreasing after 35 years of age and the chances of getting permanent residency decreases. If you’re above 35, you still have chances of getting Canadian PR. You can get an invitation if you attain good scores based on other selection factors and obtain a provincial nomination from the province of Canada. 

 

You can get a maximum of 12 points under the Age Factor on the following basis:

2. Qualification:

 The second most valuable selection factor is your qualification. The maximum number of points awarded for qualification is 25. You get some key points based on your educational qualifications. To get your qualification, you need to submit an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report from an approved agency such as WES (World Education Service). The points are based on the qualification degree – an applicant with a Doctoral degree (Ph.D.) level or equal is awarded maximum points.
