The process to immigrate to Canada from Mauritius depends on which Canadian immigration program you apply for.
Â
Before starting the process for Canada immigration, Mauritius residents should learn which Canadian immigration program best matches their profile.
Â
You also want to make sure you have or can get all of the supporting documents that will be needed when you apply to immigrate to Canada from Mauritius.
Most Canadian immigration programs require you to receive a certain minimum score or higher on an approved assessment test for the English or French language (for example, the IELTS General Test for English or the TEF Canada Test for French). The scores required will depend on which Canadian immigration program you are applying for and they must be less than two years old.
Â
In the event that you apply for immigration to Canada from Mauritius through the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), you will need to get an Education Credential Assessment (ECA) if you did not receive your education in Canada.

Most Canadian immigration programs for skilled foreign workers require you to enter your details in a preliminary online file and only if you receive an âinvitationâ from the immigration authorities will you be allowed to submit an Application for Canadian Permanent Residency.
Â
The Canadian visa application must usually be filed within a specific amount of time after receiving the invitation to apply (60 days, for example), the government fees must be paid and you may need to upload copies of supporting documents to your online immigration file.
Â
If you are approved for immigration to Canada from Mauritius as a permanent resident, you will receive a Certificate of Permanent Residency (COPR) and a visa will be placed on one of the pages of your passport. You must move to Canada from Mauritius before your COPR expires.
