A points-based immigration selection system for skilled workers. It manages applications for three main federal economic immigration programs:

Each Canadian province and territory (except Quebec and Nunavut) runs its own immigration programs targeting specific labor market needs.

  • Migrate to

Ireland

1. Stamp 4 (Permanent Residency Permission)

  • Allows non-EEA nationals to live and work in Ireland without needing an employment permit.

  • Usually granted after 5 years of legal residence on work permits, study visas, or family reunification.

  • Typical routes include:

    • After 5 years on Critical Skills Employment Permit (fast-tracked to Stamp 4 after 2 years).

    • After 5 years on General Employment Permit.

    • Through family reunification or as a spouse of an Irish citizen.

  • Stamp 4 holders can apply for long-term residency or citizenship.

2. Critical Skills Employment Permit (CSEP)

  • Designed for highly skilled workers in shortage occupations or with certain salary thresholds.

  • Initially issued for 2 years; after 2 years, holders qualify for Stamp 4, allowing them to live and work freely in Ireland.

  • This effectively leads to long-term residence and PR status.

3. General Employment Permit (GEP)

  • For skilled workers not covered by the Critical Skills list.

  • Initially issued for up to 2 years; can be renewed.

  • After 5 years on work permits (including GEP), one may apply for Stamp 4 and long-term residency.

4. Long-Term Residency (LTR)

  • After 5 years of continuous legal residence (usually on work permits or Stamp 4), non-EEA nationals can apply for LTR status.

  • Grants permission to remain indefinitely in Ireland with work and study rights.

  • Requires evidence of continuous residence and good character.

5. Residency for International Students (Post-Study Work)

  • Graduates from Irish higher education institutions can avail of the Third Level Graduate Scheme:

    • One year (or two years for postgraduate degree holders) of permission to remain and seek employment in Ireland after graduation.

  • Time on this scheme can count toward the 5-year residency requirement for Stamp 4 and long-term residency.

6. Family Reunification and Spouse/Partner Residency

  • After 2 years of residency as a spouse/partner, applicants may apply for Stamp 4 permission.

  • Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP): For high-net-worth individuals investing significant funds in Ireland, leading to residency and PR opportunities.

8. Citizenship by Naturalization

  • After 5 years of legal residence (including 1 year continuous residence immediately before the application), one may apply for Irish citizenship by naturalization.

  • Requires good character, intention to continue living in Ireland, and knowledge of the Irish language/culture may be beneficial.

9. EU Treaty Rights and Rights of Irish/EEA Family Members

  • Non-EEA family members of Irish or EU/EEA nationals residing in Ireland may have residence rights under EU freedom of movement laws.

  • These rights can lead to residency cards and eventually long-term residence.

Summary:
Ireland’s permanent residency system revolves mostly around Stamp 4 permission, obtained through work permits, family reunification, or investment, typically after 5 years of residence. This status allows free employment and leads toward citizenship eligibility. International students have post-study work opportunities that contribute to this timeline. Entrepreneur and investor programs offer additional routes to residency.

  • Applications are individually reviewed by authorities.

Notes:

  • China generally prohibits dual citizenship. Applicants must renounce foreign nationality to become Chinese citizens.

  • Citizenship applications are reviewed strictly and not guaranteed. The process is discretionary and often lengthy.

  • Chinese citizenship is much harder to obtain than in countries with more liberal immigration policies.

The National Innovation Visa (NIV) is an upcoming initiative by the Australian Government designed to attract highly skilled migrants, entrepreneurs, and global talent to drive innovation and economic growth. Expected to be launched in late 2024 or early 2025, the NIV will streamline and consolidate existing innovation-related visa programs, including the Global Talent Visa and parts of the Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP).

🔹 Key Highlights:

Tailored for individuals in advanced technology, science, research, and entrepreneurship

Priority given to those with global achievements, startup success, or scalable business ideas

Aims to boost Australia’s global competitiveness in critical sectors like AI, cybersecurity, clean energy, biotech, and digital economy

Will likely offer a direct or fast-tracked pathway to permanent residency

The NIV is part of Australia’s broader migration reform strategy focused on long-term economic priorities and talent attraction.”

  • Police clearance certificate (if required by certain universities or visa authorities)

  • Previous UAE residency visa copy (if renewing or transferring visa)

  • Sponsor’s documents (passport copy, Emirates ID, residence visa copy)

1. Citizenship by Naturalization (General Eligibility)

  • The UAE traditionally does not grant citizenship by naturalization to most expatriates.

  • However, recent reforms (since 2021) allow certain eligible foreigners to apply for citizenship under strict criteria.

  • Requirements generally include:

    • Long-term residence in the UAE (often 30 years or more, but exceptions exist).

    • Proven contribution to the UAE society, economy, or culture.

    • Good conduct and no criminal record.

    • Approval by the UAE Cabinet.

2. Citizenship by Descent

  • Children born to Emirati fathers automatically acquire UAE citizenship, regardless of birthplace.

  • Children born to Emirati mothers and foreign fathers may acquire citizenship under certain conditions, including residency and approval by authorities.

  • Citizenship by descent is primarily through the paternal line.

3. Citizenship by Birth

  • Being born in the UAE does not automatically grant citizenship unless one or both parents are UAE citizens.

  • Children born to expatriate parents on UAE soil generally retain their parents’ nationality.

4. Citizenship by Marriage

  • Foreign spouses of Emirati citizens do not automatically receive UAE citizenship.

  • Citizenship by marriage is rare and typically requires:

    • Several years of legal residence.

    • Approval by UAE authorities.

    • Commitment to UAE laws and culture.

5. Citizenship for Investors, Specialized Talents, and Professionals (New Pathways)

  • Since 2021, the UAE government introduced a special citizenship scheme for:

    • Investors and entrepreneurs.

    • Scientists, doctors, engineers, and specialists.

    • Artists and intellectuals.

  • Eligibility criteria include:

    • Exceptional contribution to the UAE’s development in respective fields.

    • Recommendation by UAE officials or institutions.

    • Retention of dual citizenship allowed under this scheme.

  • These individuals and their families may be granted citizenship without losing their original nationality.

6. Citizenship for Children of Former UAE Citizens or Emirati Women Married to Foreigners

  • Certain children of former UAE citizens or Emirati women married to non-Emirati men may apply for citizenship subject to government approval.

  • This is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

7. Citizenship for Exceptional Cases (Special Merit)

  • The UAE Cabinet can grant citizenship to individuals who have rendered distinguished services to the UAE or are deemed beneficial to the country.

  • This pathway is highly discretionary and rare.

Notes:

  • The UAE does not recognize dual citizenship in most cases, except under the new special citizenship program for talents and investors.

  • Citizenship applications are carefully scrutinized and require official approval from the highest levels of government.

  • Permanent Residency programs (Golden Visa) offer long-term residency but do not confer citizenship.
