Online assessment form

It is best to do this ASAP as the regulation of Canada's Permanent Residents Visa changes constantly as well as the list of eligible occupation. The list of eligible occupation as well as the over all regulation of the program changes yearly. This is why interested applicants must still ready the requirements of the application so that they can file their applications as soon as they have the chance. 

Moreover, those in the current list might still qualify for the other programs (like provincial nominee program, live-in caregiver program, student Visa, etc...), which is why it is still recommended that they have their qualifications assessed.
