Ontario is one of the most sought-after destinations for immigrants in Canada, known for its thriving economy, diverse culture, and abundant job opportunities. The Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (Ontario PNP) provides a strategic pathway for skilled workers, graduates, and entrepreneurs to obtain permanent residency in Canada. On the other hand, for permanent residents who need to travel but lack a valid PR card, PRTD applications (Permanent Resident Travel Document) ensure a smooth return to Canada.
At Wellington Immigration Services, we specialize in assisting clients with Ontario PNP and PRTD applications, ensuring a hassle-free and successful immigration process. In this guide, we’ll explore these programs in detail and explain how our expertise can help you achieve your Canadian dream.
Understanding Ontario PNP
The Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (Ontario PNP) allows the province to nominate individuals who have the skills and experience needed in Ontario’s labor market. This program operates under different streams, including:
- Express Entry Streams – For skilled workers with a valid Express Entry profile.
- Employer Job Offer Streams – For candidates with a job offer from an Ontario employer.
- Graduate Streams – For international students with a Master’s or PhD from an Ontario university.
- Entrepreneur Stream – For individuals looking to start or invest in a business in Ontario.
Receiving a nomination from Ontario PNP can significantly boost your chances of obtaining permanent residency, as it provides an additional 600 points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) in Express Entry, almost guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
What is a PRTD and Who Needs It?
The Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) is essential for permanent residents who are outside Canada but do not have a valid PR card to return. Since commercial airlines require proof of permanent residency to board flights to Canada, a PRTD application is necessary to re-enter the country without issues.
You may need a PRTD if:
- You are a permanent resident of Canada but do not have a valid PR card.
- You are outside Canada and need to return via air, boat, train, or bus.
- You meet the residency obligations (living in Canada for at least 730 days in the last five years).
The PRTD is usually issued as a one-time travel document, so once back in Canada, you should apply for a PR card renewal immediately.
