Process of Canada immigration with disability through Provincial Nominee Program
The process of immigrating to Canada with a disability through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) involves the following steps:
Eligibility assessment: Check if you meet the eligibility criteria for the specific PNP you are interested in, as each province or territory has its own criteria and programs.
Express Entry: Some provinces have agreements with the federal government that allow them to nominate individuals for immigration through the Express Entry system. If this is the case, you will need to create a profile in the Express Entry system.
Job offer: A job offer from a Canadian employer in the province where you wish to settle can increase your chances of being nominated for immigration by that province.
Medical examination: All applicants for Canadian immigration must undergo a medical examination to assess their health and determine if they have any conditions that could pose a risk to public health or safety.
Background check: You may be required to undergo a background check, which may include a police certificate, to show that you do not have a criminal record.
Application: Submit a complete and accurate application, including supporting documents, to the relevant province or territory.
Processing time: Processing times for PNP applications vary depending on the specific program and the volume of applications.
Nomination: If your application is approved, the province or territory will nominate you for immigration.
Final decision: After being nominated, you will need to submit a complete and accurate application, including supporting documents, to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) with a final decision on your eligibility for permanent residency.
If you have a disability, it is important to disclose this information in your application and to provide medical and other relevant information to support your eligibility for immigration. Support services and accommodations may also be available to you once in Canada.
