Ways to get PR in Canada for a work permit holder

Federal Skilled Worker Program Express Entry:

The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is a point-based immigration program that qualifies for Express Entry to Canada. It is designed to nominate eligible skilled workers who are interested in migrating to Canada. It requires a minimum of 67 FSWP points to become eligible for the program which include six selection factors like age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability and arranged employment.  So if you have minimum work experience of 12 months in NOC classified Skilled type O, A and B, then you have chances to get invitation to apply for Canada PR visa.

Canada experience class program:

When it comes to Canada Permanent residency for temporary work visa, Canada Experience Class (CEC) is the best Canada immigration program. It targets skilled workers having at least two years of full experience or the equivalent in part-time work in Canada. However, applicants who have completed two-year secondary education in Canada require only one-year of work experience to become eligible for CEC. Applicants who qualify minimum Canadian Experience Class eligibility points can apply for PR through this immigration program. It may take around six months only for processing of applications for Canada PR through Express entry – Canada experience class
