In-depth guidance from Ezvisa consultants who handle canada permanent residency kerala cases daily — covering pathways, documentation, CRS strategy, and common mistakes Kerala applicants should avoid.
Canada PR vs Work Permit: What Kerala Applicants Should Know
A work permit is temporary and tied to an employer. Permanent residency gives unrestricted work rights across Canada, stronger family inclusion, and a direct path to citizenship. Most Kerala skilled workers target PR directly through Express Entry or PNP rather than temporary permits alone.
Maintaining Canada PR Status After Approval
PR holders must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days within any 5-year period. Time abroad may count if you work for a Canadian company or live with a Canadian citizen spouse abroad.
- Renew PR card every 5 years
- Apply for citizenship after 3 years (1,095 days) residence
- Sponsor family members once you meet income requirements
Maintaining Canada PR Status After Approval
PR holders must be physically present in Canada for 730 days within any 5-year period. Time abroad may count if working for a Canadian company or living with a Canadian citizen spouse.

Canada permanent residency Kerala
What is Canada permanent residency?
Permanent residency allows you to live and work in Canada indefinitely with nearly all citizen rights except voting. After 3 years you can apply for citizenship.
How to apply for Canada permanent residency from Kerala?
Determine eligibility, complete language tests and ECA, create an Express Entry profile or apply for PNP, receive ITA, and submit your PR application to IRCC.
Is Canada PR different from Canadian citizenship?
Yes — PR holders keep their original passport but enjoy healthcare, work rights, and social benefits. Citizenship requires 3 years physical presence and a citizenship test.
Can I lose Canada permanent residency?
PR can be lost if you fail to meet residency obligations (730 days in 5 years) or commit serious offences. Most PR holders maintain status permanently.
How much does Canada PR cost from Kerala?
IRCC fees apply plus Ezvisa consultancy fees. Ezvisa offers free initial assessment — transparent service quotes provided before proceeding.
Which is faster — Express Entry or PNP for Kerala applicants?
Express Entry is faster if your CRS is competitive (470+). PNP adds processing time but guarantees ITA with +600 nomination points.
What rights do Canada permanent residents have?
Live, work, and study anywhere in Canada, access provincial healthcare, enrol children in free public school, and apply for citizenship after meeting residence requirements. PR holders cannot vote in federal elections.
Can I work in any province with Canada PR?
Yes — unlike some PNP commitments that expect you to settle in the nominating province, standard Express Entry PR allows you to live and work in any Canadian province or territory.
How do Kerala applicants prove work experience for PR?
IRCC requires reference letters on company letterhead with NOC-matched duties, employment dates, hours, and salary. Ezvisa reviews Kerala employer letters before submission.
Is Canada permanent residency better than Australia PR for Kerala?
Both are excellent options. Canada Express Entry is popular for Kerala IT and healthcare workers. Ezvisa handles both — we compare your profile against each country during consultation.
CRS Score
What is CRS score for Canada PR?
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) ranks Express Entry profiles out of 1,200 points using age, education, language, work experience, and additional factors like PNP (+600) and French bonus.
What CRS score is needed in 2026?
General draws typically require 470–550 CRS. Category-based draws (healthcare, STEM, trades) and PNP-linked ITAs may have lower cut-offs. Use our free CRS calculator on this page.
How can I improve my CRS score from Kerala?
Retake IELTS for higher CLB bands, add French (TEF/TCF) for up to 50 bonus points, pursue PNP nomination (+600), or gain Canadian work experience. Ezvisa builds personalised CRS improvement plans.
FSW 67 Points
What is the FSW 67-point grid?
Federal Skilled Worker applicants must score 67+ on six selection factors (language, education, work, age, job offer, adaptability) before entering Express Entry. This is separate from CRS ranking.
Do I need 67 FSW points and high CRS?
Yes — FSWP requires both: 67/100 FSW eligibility AND competitive CRS in the Express Entry pool. Use both calculators on this page to check each score.
What CLB level is required for FSWP?
Minimum CLB 7 in all four language skills (IELTS 6.0 each band). Higher CLB scores improve both FSW grid points and CRS ranking significantly.
Express Entry

Express Entry is IRCC's online system managing FSWP, CEC, and FSTP. Candidates are ranked by CRS and invited through regular draws to apply for Canada PR.
What is an Invitation to Apply (ITA)?
An ITA is issued when your CRS meets a draw cut-off. You have 60 days to submit your complete permanent residence application to IRCC.
