The nations that are easiest to immigrate to are:
- Canada
- Australia
- Singapore
- United Arab Emirates
Let us look at each country’s immigration aspects:
Canada
There is no doubt that the Canadian PR visa process is easy, and the response time is a maximum of six months. But you can help in the process by taking care to fill your details with care, take a self-assessment to check your qualifications under the points-based system and submit all the required documents on time.
Canada is an attractive option for students not only for its courses but also for the post-study work options which can pave the way to a PR visa.
Canada offers various immigration programs through which you can apply for a PR visa, but each program has its individual eligibility requirements and application procedure. Some popular programs for getting the PR visa are
- Express Entry Program
- Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
- Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP)
The Express Entry System is the fastest way to get your PR visa.
Australia
Australia promises a better quality of life and a multicultural society where there is peace and harmony.
Australia offers a Permanent Residency (PR) visa for those willing to settle here. The PR visa is valid for five years and lets you work and live anywhere in the country. With the PR visa, you can settle anywhere in the country with your family. You can apply for citizenship after three years of living under the PR visa.
PR visa applications are usually done through the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program. Australia uses a points-based system to assess the PR visa applications. Three visa categories come under the points-based system:
Skilled Independent Visa Subclass 189
Skilled Nominated Visa 190
Skilled regional (provisional) Subclass 489
The first two are permanent visas while the third one is a temporary visa with a validity of four years which can later be converted to a PR visa.
You can apply under any one of the three categories for your PR visa for which you are most qualified.
Singapore

If you wish to migrate as a professional, y0u can choose between three different types of work visas to migrate to Singapore.
Employment Pass
You must first get a job in Singapore. Only your employer can apply for an EP on your behalf. You can get the Employment Pass (EP) or S Pass, depending on your experience and qualifications.
Personalized Employment Pass (PEP)
The PEP is independent from any employer, allowing you to pursue opportunities in Singapore without affecting the Pass ‘s validity. Once you hold a PEP, to pursue a new job opportunity, you can stay in Singapore for up to 6 months, in between jobs. The catch is the PEP is only valid for 3 years and is non-renewable.
To apply, you must either be a current EP holder, or you must be an overseas employer who has not been unemployed for more than six months when you are applying for the PEP.
Dependent’s pass (DP)
If you have moved with your spouse or parents to Singapore, who may be holders of EP or PEP, you will most likely be given a Dependent ‘s Pass (DP). As a DP Holder, you’re permitted to work without a work visa in Singapore. Your employer will then apply for a LOC (Letter of Consent) to require you to work legally.
Entre Pass
This is also known as an entrepreneur pass. It is intended for international entrepreneurs who want to come to Singapore and run the country’s new enterprises. The Entre Pass is valid for a period of 1 year and is subject to further renewal.

This is intended for a person who wants to migrate to Singapore with his spouse, children or parents. This must be required by the organization that funded the EP, PEP or S Pass visa for the person wishing to bring his or her dependents.
