The Canadian government has established several programs for immigration to Canada, most of which share similar general eligibility requirements (for example, you must be healthy, possess good character and have a certain level of English or French language abilities), but each Canadian immigration program also has its own unique eligibility criteria (for example, there are different programs for university-educated professionals, skilled tradespeople, live-in caregivers, foreign workers whose skills are needed in a particular Canadian province, family sponsorship programs, plus some programs are points-based).
