Guides
Canadian immigration guides
These guides explain each way to come to Canada in the order you actually need it: whether you qualify, what you submit, what it costs, and how long it takes. They are written for people applying from outside Canada, by a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant, and they link to the government source for every rule.
Figures such as Express Entry cut-offs and processing times are imported from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on a schedule and shown with the date they were observed. When a figure passes its expiry it is flagged on the page rather than silently kept.
