Three categories of immigrants are accepted in Canada: those who fit into the economic, familial, and refugee and humanitarian categories.
The economic class welcomes skilled workers to help maintain Canada's high level of living. In order to support its labor force and economic expansion, Canada needs highly skilled workers. As a result, they are essential to Canada's efforts to promote economic development and social services like universal health care and education.
Through family sponsorship, the second-largest immigrant class enters the country. Strong families are the foundation of Canadian society and its economy, so Canada welcomes the loved ones of its citizens and permanent residents.
The third-largest class is welcomed for humanitarian and refugee reasons. There are several Canada PR visa types and the different types of PR in Canada have varied offerings.
Have a look at the following Canada PR visa types and Canada PR program to understand the details and functionalities.
Under the Canada immigration program, Canada aims to accept more than 400,000 immigrants annually as part of its Immigration Levels Plan. About 60% of these immigrants are skilled employees when they first come. Express Entry, a system for managing immigration applications, is the primary route for skilled workers to immigrate to Canada. The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), Quebec's skilled worker programs, and a few other focused federal programs make up the second main route.
Express Entry
Express Entry is Canada's main method of managing skilled worker applications through the three main economic class immigration programs under the Canada PR program:
● Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
● Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
● Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
Candidates who meet the Express Entry eligibility requirements of the Canada immigration program can upload their profile to the federal government's website. Candidates are assigned a CRS score depending on factors such as age, education, language skills, and work experience.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invites individuals with the highest CRS scores to apply for permanent residency every two weeks. The IRCC's goal is to handle permanent residence applications in six months or less.

Applicants are obliged to submit the police clearance certificate as the required document for Canada PR from India. This certificate justifies that you don’t have any criminal background. Besides, if you are accompanying your spouse or any dependents, you must also submit their PCC. You can get the PCC from the police station of your location. In case if you have ever been convicted, you will have to explain the reason.
In addition to Canada PR visa fees, applicants will have to undergo medical tests. You must be mentally and physically active in your reports. Once you have the report that proves you are a healthy person, compile it with other required documents.

Along with Canada PR visa fees, submitting proof of funds is also a prerequisite. You will have to compile this report with your other documents while sending your application to IRCC. Showing proof of funds is mandatory in all programs, such as-
The proof of funds ensures that the applicant can sustain all the living costs and other expenditures. Your application may go on hold if you don’t compile the proof of funds with the required documents for Canada PR.

Also, you won't have to submit proof of funds if you hold a job offer letter from a Canadian organization. Applicants will have to submit the job offer letter in place of proof of funds while sending the application.
