Free tools and resources for your immigration journey

Newcomers can access free, web-based tools to help with every stage of the Canadian immigration process.

The following article will break down some of these key tools throughout the three stages of the immigration process:

• Considering Canada;
• Applying to Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC); and
• Receiving a decision / Succeeding in Canada.

Considering Canada

Assessment form
The CanadaVisa Assessment form can determine your eligibility for economic immigration programs that lead to permanent residence (PR), including:

• The Canadian Experience Class (CEC);
• The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP);
• The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP); and
• Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).

This form also links to another assessment which can determine your eligibility for family-class sponsorship for PR.

Eligibility tracker
IRCC’s eligibility tracker will assess your eligibility for various kinds of Canadian immigration streams, including those for work, study, visit, and PR purposes.

Questions may include (but are not limited to) your:

• Nationality;
• Age;
• Language ability in French or English;
• Education;
• Work experience; and
• Current employment.

Note: This tool can also be used to understand further options for those wishing to extend their status in Canada.

IRCC advises that this tool is for reference and does not claim to make an immigration decision based on answers submitted. All applications submitted to IRCC will be assessed in accordance with Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
