Realities of Immigration, PR Points system, and Pathways to Canadian Citizenship

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we sit down with Steven Tress, an immigration lawyer, to delve into the complexities of Canada’s immigration policies, the points-based Permanent Residency (PR) system, and what aspiring immigrants need to know.

    We start by discussing the sentiment around immigration and unemployment, questioning whether policy changes are truly addressing public concerns. Steven shares insights into the points-based system, explaining what it takes to get a PR in Canada and offering guidance for those navigating the process.

    We then explore the Express Entry system—how the government caps entries and selects applicants—and discuss how provinces, like Quebec with its pioneering selection model, impact immigration. Steven also covers the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), and how these programs help meet local labor market needs.

    For entrepreneurs, we touch on pathways to move businesses to Canada, including the startup visa program, and outline the benefits and potential drawbacks of Canadian citizenship. Steven also breaks down the intersections between criminal and immigration law, offering a unique perspective for those interested in legal practice in these areas.
