PR for 45+ years old

[delhi_itguy]

Hi,

I am 44 as of now, turning 45 in OCt-22. I am planning to move to Canada (Vancouver) on a ICT WP - my Indian employer is a $10B company and has a sizable presence in Canada. I am moving in an entry-level management position.

Please suggest what is the best way for me to get PR? My wife has 2 bachelor and 1 master degrees - but has never worked. I have two girls - 19 and 13 years old.

Regards

Impossible to say what will be the best way to try and secure PR because many immigration programs seem to be being updated/changed. Your 19 year old will need to get a study permit if she wants to join you in Canada and pay international fees. If she is 22 when you apply for PR she will not qualify so you are on a very tight timeline.

Thanks for you response. Yes, we are getting study permits for kids and Open Work Permit for my wife.

I plan to apply for PR once I complete 1 year on WP. My compensation is near the top bracket for my role - will it help in any way?

As long as the compensation meets the required amount it has the similar impact. No advantage of you make more than the average when it comes to getting PR.

For EE, what is your eligibility score and CRS score? Are you eligible? Your points most likely will not be high enough. You can look at BC PNP programs to see if you are eligible based on a permanent job offer. Your employer will have to show that they couldn’t hire anyone in Canada.

Just to add that your 19 year old would be attending post secondary. She needs admission to a college/university and then needs to show funds as an international student, ties to home country, travel history, career/education progression. So will need to pay first year tuition and show a minimum of $10k.

I also thought that the BC PNP may be the best way. I have long experience in FinTech industry and my employer is moving me in the same role. I believe showing that they couldn't hire anyone in Canada with the same skillset won't be tough.

You mean even for her study permit along with my Work Permit?

I have applied for a work permit for three years - she is already in first year of her bachelor degree course. She plans for finish bachelor degree from India and then move to Canada from masters. Will that be a problem in granting her study permit?

Because she is stuying at the post-secondary level in Canada, she will need to apply for a study permit independently and also show the proof of funds mentioned abve of around $25,000 (the proof of funds needs to cover first year tuition + $10,000 in living expenses). She will pay international student fees if she wants to study in Canada along side of you.

However based on what you're saying above, it sounds like she may not plan to move to Canada with you immediately. If that's the case, your best plan is to be able to apply for PR before she turns 22. Once she is a PR, she will be able to study in Canada without a study permit and also pay domestic tuition.

Note that to be included in your PR application, your application must be received by IRCC before she turns 22. Once she is 22 or older, it will be too late to include her.

You need to research BC PNP pathways and find your if you and your employer are eligible based. Some are based on specific NOCs.

Thanks, for your detailed response.

I have applied for her study permit as well, along with my work permit. Though she won't be moving for next two years. Should I withdraw her application in that case?

I understand your point about applying for PR before she turns 22. I will do that

What do you mean “we are not moving within the next two years?“ What PNP are you elgible for?

If your child is not going to study and doesn’t have admission to a college or university showing funds etc. then withdraw. Her current study permit will be refused without admission, and is separate from your application.

I am sorry, it was a typo. I meant "she" won't be moving for next 2 years. She will study in India and will only visit us. We (my wife, daughter and I) will move as soon as we get WP.

I understand your point. So you recommend I withdraw her application proactively or should I wait for IRCC to ask for additional information?

I would withdraw it. They aren’t going to ask for additional information. It will be a refusal and then she will have to state refusals for all countries she travels too.

Thanks, it makes sense.

I am not able to find a way to withdraw the application. Can you please help me with it?

You need to raise a webform. I don’t have the link but you can google it.

Is there a reason why you applied for daughter's study permit this early?
If she plans on doing masters, wait until she finishes BSc and gets admitted to a Masters program in Canada, then submit study permit application. I am not sure that without these proofs she would be approved at all, so better withdraw it now. Otherwise she will have to explain in future applications why she was refused.
