Overview
Everything you need to know about Canada immigration in 2026
Canada continues to be the most sought-after destination for Indian families in 2026 — and Mark Consultant has been the best visa and immigration consultants for Canada in Pune since 2016. From Express Entry category-based draws to Provincial Nominee Programs, the Atlantic Immigration Program and the newer Digital Nomad Strategy, we file for every legitimate route with a written scope and fixed fee.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has re-anchored its Immigration Levels Plan 2025-2027 around targeted economic classes. The 2026 admissions target is approximately 380,000 permanent residents, with roughly 60% of intake coming through economic programs — Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) and the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP). For Indian applicants that means Canada is still one of the fastest paths to permanent residency, but only if the right sub-programme is chosen from day one.
The last two policy years have seen Canada tighten temporary visa streams (study permits, PGWP eligibility, LMIA-exempt work permits) and simultaneously widen economic PR intake through category-based Express Entry draws for healthcare, STEM, trades, French speakers and transport occupations. The families who benefit are those working with a licensed consultant who understands how CRS, NOC 2021 (TEER), Provincial nomination and Francophone Mobility interact.
Mark Consultant runs a dedicated Canada desk out of Pune. We are one of the biggest PR agencies in India for Canada immigration because we file for the client, not the commission — often recommending the FSW route over CEC, or a PNP over Express Entry, when the CRS math supports it.
Why Canada?
Path to citizenship
Naturalise after just 3 out of 5 years of physical presence as a PR.
Family reunification
Sponsor spouse, dependent children and parents once you land as PR.
Category-based draws
STEM, healthcare, trades, transport and French-language draws bypass general CRS cut-offs.
PNP diversity
13 provincial nominee programs — Ontario OINP, BC PNP, Alberta AAIP, Saskatchewan SINP and more.
Post-graduation work permit
Up to 3-year open work permit after eligible Canadian study, still the fastest CEC feeder.

Latest Canada immigration updates
Category-based Express Entry keeps cut-offs low
IRCC continues French-language, healthcare, STEM, trades and transport draws through 2026. Category cut-offs are consistently 60-100 CRS points below general rounds, so profile positioning matters more than raw CRS.
PNP allocations reduced — file Express Entry first
Provincial nominee allocations were cut roughly 50% for 2025-2026. Applicants should now build an Express Entry profile as the base plan and treat PNPs as accelerators, not the primary route.
PGWP eligibility narrowed
The Post-Graduation Work Permit is now tied to a defined field-of-study list linked to labour shortages. Choosing a PGWP-eligible programme before you fly out is non-negotiable in 2026.
SDS Study Direct Stream retired
The Student Direct Stream was closed in late 2024. All Indian students now file via the regular study permit stream with revised proof-of-funds (~CAD 20,635 for a single applicant, updated annually).
Digital Nomad Strategy live
Canada's Tech Talent Strategy allows remote workers of foreign employers to live in Canada for up to 6 months on a visitor status, then transition to a work permit if a Canadian job offer is secured.

FAQs
Canada immigration — FAQs
Which is the best Canada PR route for Indian applicants in 2026?
+
For most Indian applicants Express Entry — specifically the FSW class combined with a category-based STEM or healthcare draw — is the fastest route in 2026. Applicants with Canadian work experience should file CEC, while those with in-demand skilled trades should look at FST and provincial trades streams.
How much CRS is needed for Express Entry in 2026?
+
General round cut-offs are typically 520-540 CRS. Category-based draws routinely close at 430-490 CRS. The right number for you depends on which category your NOC and language scores unlock — this is exactly what our free assessment maps.
How long does Canada PR take from Pune?

From Express Entry profile creation to landing, most files close in 8-14 months. PNP-boosted profiles typically land in 10-16 months. Family sponsorship cases take 12-24 months depending on class.
