International Students
Studying in Canada offers a world-class education and exciting opportunities for personal and professional growth. However, navigating the immigration process as an international student can be complex and overwhelming. At Encubate, our team of experts specializes in assisting students from around the world in achieving their educational goals in Canada.
We provide personalized guidance on obtaining study permits, navigating post-graduation work permits, and exploring pathways to permanent residency.

For individuals currently in Canada on a visitor visa who wish to pursue studies, Encubate can provide assistance with changing their status from a visitor to a student. Eligibility for changing status typically includes demonstrating acceptance into a recognized educational institution in Canada, sufficient financial resources to cover tuition fees and living expenses, and a clean immigration record. For example, international visitors who have been admitted to a Canadian university or college program and wish to transition to student status may be eligible to apply for a study permit. Additionally, individuals participating in short-term courses or language programs may also be eligible to change their status to a student visa, provided they meet the program's requirements and intend to study full-time.

Foreign Workers
Securing employment in Canada offers exciting opportunities for professional growth and personal development. However, the immigration process for workers can be complex, with various work permit options and eligibility requirements to consider. At Encubate, our team of experienced consultants specializes in assisting individuals and employers with their immigration needs. Whether you're a skilled professional, a temporary worker, or an employer looking to hire foreign talent, we'll provide personalized guidance tailored to your unique circumstances.
From navigating labor market impact assessments (LMIAs) to obtaining intra-company transfer permits, we'll work closely with you to ensure that your immigration journey is smooth and successful. With Encubate's support, you can achieve your goals of working in Canada with confidence and peace of mind.
​
​Understanding the intricacies of the Canadian immigration system is crucial for individuals seeking employment opportunities in Canada. One key aspect to consider is the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process, which is often required for employers looking to hire foreign workers. However, there are exemptions to the LMIA requirement, known as LMIA exemption codes, which allow certain individuals to work in Canada without the need for an LMIA. For example, LMIA exemption code C16 applies to individuals who are part of the Francophone Mobility Program. This program aims to promote the mobility of French-speaking individuals and facilitate their integration into Francophone minority communities in Canada. Eligible candidates under this program may benefit from expedited processing and additional support services to help them settle and succeed in Canada.

Skilled Professionals
Canada's immigration system offers various pathways for skilled professionals looking to contribute their expertise to the Canadian workforce. At Encubate, we specialize in assisting skilled professionals with their immigration needs, whether through the Express Entry system, provincial nomination programs, or other streams tailored to specific occupations. Our team of experienced consultants understands the unique challenges and opportunities faced by skilled professionals in navigating the immigration process.
Whether you're a healthcare professional, engineer, IT specialist, or in another high-demand occupation, we'll provide personalized guidance and support to help you achieve your immigration goals. From assessing your eligibility and preparing your application to navigating the points system and securing job offers, we'll work closely with you to ensure a smooth and successful immigration journey to Canada.
​
​Navigating the Canadian immigration system as a skilled professional involves understanding the National Occupational Classification (NOC) and the Temporary Foreign Worker Program's Employer Portal (TEER). The NOC is a standardized classification system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to categorize occupations based on skill level and job duties. Skilled professionals seeking to immigrate to Canada often need to demonstrate their experience and qualifications within specific NOC codes relevant to their occupation. Additionally, the TEER system allows Canadian employers to submit offers of employment for foreign workers through the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process. Understanding how these systems intersect is crucial for skilled professionals looking to secure job offers and permanent residency in Canada

Provincial Nominees
Provincial nomination programs (PNPs) offer an alternative pathway to permanent residency in Canada for individuals with skills and experience targeted by specific provinces and territories. At Encubate, we have extensive experience helping clients navigate the various provincial nomination programs across Canada. Our team understands the unique requirements and eligibility criteria of each provincial program, and we'll work closely with you to identify the most suitable pathway for your immigration goals.
Whether you're interested in the Express Entry-aligned streams or the non-Express Entry streams, we'll provide personalized guidance and support to help you navigate the application process with confidence. With Encubate's expertise and guidance, you can maximize your chances of success in obtaining permanent residency in Canada through provincial nomination.
​
​Each province and territory in Canada operates its own provincial nominee program (PNP), designed to address regional labor market needs and economic priorities. For example, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) and the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) are two prominent PNPs that attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international graduates to their respective provinces. The OINP offers various streams, including the Human Capital Priorities Stream and the Entrepreneur Stream, which provide opportunities for skilled professionals and entrepreneurs to settle and contribute to Ontario's economy. Similarly, the BC PNP offers streams such as the Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC categories, which target skilled workers, healthcare professionals, and tech workers seeking employment in British Columbia.

Quebec Immigration
Quebec offers unique immigration programs and pathways for individuals seeking to live and work in the province. At Encubate, we specialize in assisting clients with their immigration needs specific to Quebec. Our team understands the unique requirements and eligibility criteria of Quebec's immigration programs, including the Quebec Skilled Worker Program, the Quebec Experience Program, and other provincial streams.
We'll work closely with you to assess your eligibility, prepare your application, and navigate the immigration process with confidence. Whether you're interested in settling in Montreal, Quebec City, or a regional area of Quebec, we'll provide personalized guidance and support to help you achieve your immigration goals. With Encubate's expertise and dedication, you can embark on your journey to Quebec with confidence and peace of mind.
​
Quebec operates its own immigration system, distinct from the federal Express Entry system used in other provinces. One key aspect of Quebec immigration is the Arrima system, introduced in 2018 to manage applications for the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP). The Arrima system is an online platform where prospective immigrants create profiles to express their interest in immigrating to Quebec as skilled workers. Through Arrima, candidates are ranked based on a points-based system and are periodically invited to apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate (Certificat de sélection du Québec, or CSQ). Once a CSQ is obtained, applicants can then apply for permanent residency with the federal government. The Arrima system aims to streamline the immigration process for skilled workers and facilitate the integration of newcomers into Quebec society.

Spousal Sponsorship
Reuniting with a spouse or partner in Canada is a significant milestone for many immigrants. At Encubate, we understand the importance of spousal sponsorship and are committed to helping couples navigate the process with ease. Our experienced consultants specialize in assisting individuals with sponsoring their spouses or partners for permanent residency in Canada.
We'll guide you through the spousal sponsorship application process, ensuring that all required documentation is completed accurately and submitted on time.

​
​In addition to assisting with sponsorship applications for spouses or partners living abroad, we also specialize in inland spousal sponsorship applications. For individuals already in Canada, an inland sponsorship application allows them to apply for permanent residency while remaining in the country. One of the key benefits of inland sponsorship is the eligibility for an Open Work Permit, which allows the sponsored spouse or partner to work in Canada while their application is in progress. Our experienced consultants will help you navigate the complexities of inland sponsorship, ensuring all documentation is completed accurately and submitted on time.

Business Immigrants
Canada offers numerous opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors, and business professionals looking to establish or expand their business ventures. At Encubate, we specialize in assisting business immigrants with their immigration needs. Our team understands the unique challenges and opportunities faced by entrepreneurs and investors in Canada's dynamic business landscape. Whether you're interested in the Start-up Visa Program, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) for entrepreneurs, or other business immigration pathways, we'll provide expert guidance and support every step of the way.

With Encubate's expertise and dedication, you can navigate the complexities of the Canadian immigration system with confidence and achieve success in your entrepreneurial endeavors.
​
For entrepreneurs considering immigration to Canada, provincial nominee programs (PNPs) offer a pathway to permanent residency tailored to business owners and investors. One advantage of PNPs for entrepreneurs is the opportunity to gain permanent residency by establishing or investing in a business that meets the criteria of the provincial government. PNPs often provide additional support and resources to help entrepreneurs establish and grow their businesses in the province, such as mentorship programs, networking opportunities, and access to local markets.
However, it's important to consider the specific requirements and conditions of each PNP, as they can vary significantly between provinces. Some PNPs may have strict investment thresholds or require entrepreneurs to create a certain number of jobs within a specified time frame. Additionally, the processing times for PNP applications may vary, and there may be limited spots available in certain streams. Entrepreneurs should carefully weigh the pros and cons of each PNP option before making a decision.
​
The Start-up Visa program offers another pathway for entrepreneurs to immigrate to Canada by providing permanent residency to innovative start-up founders with the potential to scale their businesses globally. One advantage of the Start-up Visa program is the streamlined application process, which allows entrepreneurs to obtain permanent residency by securing a commitment from a designated Canadian venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator. This program provides access to a vibrant ecosystem of investors, mentors, and resources to support the growth of innovative start-ups in Canada.
However, one downside of the Start-up Visa program is the competitive nature of the application process, as applicants must demonstrate a high level of innovation and potential for success to secure funding from a designated organization. Additionally, entrepreneurs may face challenges in meeting the program's eligibility criteria, such as proving the viability of their business concept and securing sufficient funding. Despite these challenges, the Start-up Visa program offers a unique opportunity for visionary entrepreneurs to establish and grow their businesses in Canada's dynamic innovation landscape.

Canadian Citizenship
Becoming a Canadian citizen is a significant milestone in your immigration journey. At Encubate, we understand the importance of citizenship and are here to guide you through the naturalization process. Our experienced consultants specialize in assisting individuals with their citizenship applications, ensuring that all requirements are met and documentation is submitted accurately and efficiently. Whether you're eligible for citizenship through naturalization or descent, we'll provide personalized guidance and support to help you navigate the application process with confidence.

​
Obtaining Canadian citizenship is the final step in the immigration journey for many individuals who have made Canada their home. There are two primary pathways to Canadian citizenship: proof of citizenship applications and citizenship grant applications. Proof of citizenship applications are typically for individuals who were born in Canada or obtained citizenship through their parents but require documentation to confirm their citizenship status. This process involves submitting evidence such as birth certificates, passports, or other supporting documents to establish Canadian citizenship.
On the other hand, citizenship grant applications are for individuals who have fulfilled the residency requirements and wish to become Canadian citizens through naturalization. This process involves demonstrating knowledge of Canadian history, values, and rights, as well as meeting language proficiency requirements.
