Living in Canada has become the dream of many. Everyday we receive questions about how to migrate to Canada with the family. For this reason, here are several ways that you can fulfill this dream.
Study visa
Studying in Canada allows you to migrate with your family, this includes your partner, whether you are married or in a common law relationship, and dependents under 22 years of age. However, you must ensure that the program you choose is eligible for a PGWP and the educational institution is a designated institution. To find out if the institution in which you want to study grants a PGWP you must visit the government website here
International students will have the opportunity to study in Canada while their partner will be able to work full time with an open work permit and dependents will have the opportunity to study at no cost. Although this does not guarantee permanent residence, the work experience acquired by the accompanying partner with the work permit or that of the international student with their PGWP can be used as an eligibility criteria for an immigration stream.
Work visa
International foreign workers in some cases can migrate with their family as long as the occupation they are going to perform in Canada is at a NOC TEER 0,1,2, or 3. To find out the TEER of your occupation, you can visit the website of the government website here.
Although the main applicant is granted a closed work permit, that is, they are only allowed to work for the employer that issued the job offer, the spouse is eligible for an open work permit. This opens the doors of opportunities allowing the possibility of finding a job with any employer in Canada. At the same time, dependents under 22 years of age can study up to high school in Canada at no cost.
In this case, the opportunities to obtain permanent residence depend a lot on the type of work and the province in which you are in, as well as your professional background and that of your partner. To evaluate your options, you can book an immigration consultation. For a profile evaluation, you can book an immigration consultation below the calendar button.

This program is designed to help foreign caregivers obtain permanent residence in Canada while working as child or elderly caregivers in the country. Under this program, the foreign worker must have a valid job offer from a Canadian employee and meet eligibility requirements, which include child or elder care work experience and English or French language skills. Once the caregiver’s application is approved, he or she and their family can apply for permanent residence in Canada.
