- Willing to settle in a smaller community.
Key requirements

Requirements are simplified for planning. Always confirm the full, current criteria on the official page before you apply.
Estimated processing time
Community-driven: securing endorsement and a job offer comes first, then the federal PR stage (several months to over a year).
