The parent must either be a citizen or applying to become one at the same time.

Or enter the pool for skilled immigrants

Canada has a fast-track system for immigration called Express Entry. Under this system, skilled workers are given jobs according to their skills in the country.

All applicants into Express Entry are given specific scores based on their specific talents and job prospects and then ranked with other applicants.

Those at the top of the rankings are invited to become permanent residents.

Have a permanent residence in Canada

To become a permanent resident, people can choose between several avenues.

They can apply through the province of their choice, go down a special entrepreneur route, get help from a family member who lives in Canada, or go through Quebec, which has special immigration requirements.
