Frequently asked

Questions on Australia & Canada PR from India

Clear, factual answers on Australia Skilled Migration (Subclass 189, 190, 491) and Canada Express Entry / PNP eligibility from India.

To apply for Australia PR from India, you must go through the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program. The process begins with obtaining a positive Skills Assessment from the relevant assessing authority (such as ACS, VETASSESS, or Engineers Australia) for an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). Next, you submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via SkillSelect scoring at least 65 points across age, qualification, English proficiency, and work experience. Once invited under Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent), Subclass 190 (Nominated), or Subclass 491 (Regional), you have 60 days to lodge your formal visa application with the Department of Home Affairs.

Applying for Canada PR from India is primarily managed through the federal Express Entry system or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP). Eligible skilled applicants first obtain an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for foreign degrees and take an approved language test (IELTS General Training, CELPIP-G, or PTE Core). Candidates scoring 67+ points on the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) grid enter the Express Entry pool, where they receive a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. IRCC conducts regular draws inviting top-ranked candidates or specific occupational category sweeps (Healthcare, STEM, Trades, Transport, Agriculture, French proficiency) to submit their permanent residency application.

Australia PR eligibility requires: (1) Age under 45 years at invitation, (2) An occupation on Australia's national or state skilled occupation lists, (3) A positive full Skills Assessment outcome, (4) Competent English (IELTS 6.0 in all bands or PTE 50+), and (5) A minimum of 65 points on the points test. Competitive cutoffs for offshore Indian applicants often require 80–90+ points depending on occupational demand.

Canada Express Entry is an online points-based application management system covering three federal economic immigration programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) evaluates core human capital factors—age, education, language fluency, and work experience—plus transferability and additional points (e.g. 600 points for a Provincial Nomination, French proficiency bonuses, or Canadian study).

MovesEdu uses an assessment-first protocol. Our senior consultants review your academic transcripts, employment reference letters, duties alignment against ANZSCO (Australia) or NOC/TEER (Canada) codes, age cutoffs, and official language scorecards. We provide an honest, evidence-based preliminary report outlining your exact points score, eligible visa subclasses, realistic invitation probabilities, government fee schedules, and required documentation before taking any retainer.

It depends directly on your occupation, age, English proficiency, and settlement funds. Australia requires 65+ points and an upfront positive skills assessment with priority given to candidates already onshore and employer sponsorship; Canada ranks you via the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) where provincial nominations (PNPs) can add 600 points, and category-based draws target STEM, healthcare, and trades with lower score thresholds.

For Australia, the Subclass 189 primary applicant visa fee is AUD 6,135 (effective 1 July 2026), plus AUD 3,070 per accompanying adult. For Canada, the primary applicant government fee is CAD 1,590 (CAD 990 processing fee plus CAD 600 Right of Permanent Residence Fee, effective 30 April 2026), with dependent children costing CAD 270 (RPRF exempt).

No. General skilled pathways in Australia (Subclass 189 and 190) and federal Express Entry in Canada (FSWP and CEC) do not require a job offer to qualify. However, a job offer is mandatory for certain employer-sponsored pathways, specific Canadian provincial nominee streams, and the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP).

Australia enforces a strict statutory age cap: you must be under 45 years of age at the time you receive your visa invitation. Canada has no hard maximum age limit for Express Entry, but maximum age points are awarded between 20–29 years and decline sharply after age 30.

MovesEdu operates as a private migration advisory firm providing guidance, documentation support and case management. We are not a government body; all final decisions rest with Australian and Canadian immigration authorities.

No migration outcome can be guaranteed by any consultancy. MovesEdu focuses on maximising eligibility through accurate assessment, strategic planning and precise documentation.

MovesEdu works exclusively with Australia and Canada Permanent Residency pathways — no tourist, student or business visa categories.

Timelines vary by pathway, occupation demand and individual profile — typically ranging from 6 to 12 months for Canadian Express Entry and 12 to 24+ months for Australian points-tested and provincial routes.
