Canadian immigration options available to people in US - Hindi

Source: CMR FM 101.3 Voice Radio Hindi, a radio show based in Toronto, Canada.

Translated Summary: An immigration consultant on the show said there are many programs through which people in the United States may be eligible to immigrate to Canada. However, every pathway, whether temporary or permanent, requires a plan to immigrate. People in the US with legal status can come to Canada through the Working Holiday Visa. Individuals in the US between 18 and 30 years of age can qualify under this program. They can get a work permit for up to 12 months. US nationals can also get a work permit under NAFTA. This program usually does not require a candidate to have an LMIA-based job offer. An intracompany transfer is an option as well. The consultant said that many of her clients have immigrated to Canada through the Express Entry, Quebec immigration program and Provincial Nomination Programs.
