Who is the Canada immigration eligibility checker for?
Most people exploring Canadian immigration start with the same question: am I even eligible? There are dozens of programs, and the right one depends on your age, education, language, work experience and your ties to Canada. This checker cuts through that by mapping your answers to the routes we actually handle, so you can see your realistic options in a couple of minutes instead of reading a dozen guides.
It looks at both sides of the journey: the permanent residence programs that lead to staying for good, and the work permits that often get you to Canada first. For many people the smart path is a work permit now and permanent residence later, and the checker is built to surface both. If you are simply asking am I eligible to immigrate to Canada, this free immigration assessment is the quickest honest answer.
Check your Canada PR eligibility and work permit eligibility
Whether you are testing your Canada PR eligibility through Express Entry or a PNP, or your Canada work permit eligibility for an LMIA-based or open work permit, the checker maps your answers to both. For the points-based Express Entry routes it reflects the same factors that drive your CRS score, so you get a realistic sense of where you stand before you commit to language tests or fees. Think of it as a fast Canada immigration assessment that points you to the routes worth pursuing.

Frequently asked questions
How does the eligibility checker work?
You pick what you'd like to do, immigrate, work, sponsor family, business or study, then answer questions about your age, education, language, work experience and ties to Canada. At the end you add your name and email to see your results: the permanent residence, work, family, business or study programs you may qualify for, including which provinces' nominee programs to explore. It is an AI-assisted guide using current public IRCC criteria, not an official decision.
Is this an official Canadian government tool?
No. This is a free guidance tool from Wild Mountain Immigration, a CICC-regulated practice. It is not affiliated with IRCC or the Government of Canada, and it does not submit anything or make a decision. Only IRCC can decide your application. A licensed RCIC can confirm your real eligibility before you spend money on tests or fees.
Which pathways does it check?
All the routes we handle, across five paths. Permanent residence: Express Entry (Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker and Federal Skilled Trades), Provincial Nominee Programs including the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program, and the Atlantic and rural pilots. Work: LMIA-based permits, LMIA-exempt transfers and treaty permits (CUSMA, CETA), Francophone Mobility, the PGWP, International Experience Canada and open work permits. Family sponsorship, business immigration (Start-up Visa and provincial entrepreneur streams) and study permits are covered too. It flags PNPs at the province level. It does not cover Quebec-selected programs or refugee, appeal and inadmissibility matters.
Do I need to enter my email or pay anything?
It is completely free, there is nothing to pay. You do add your name and email at the final step to see your results, so we can send them to you and follow up if you'd like help. We keep your details private and only use them to assist with your enquiry.
What should I do with my results?
Use them as a starting map of your realistic options. The strongest next step is an expert review: tell us your details and a licensed RCIC will confirm which route is genuinely your best move and outline the steps, costs and timeline before you commit to anything.
