2 — Types of Immigration Programs
When it comes to moving abroad, there isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Countries offer different immigration pathways depending on your skills, goals, and personal circumstances.
1. Employment-Based Immigration
For skilled workers, many countries have programs that grant residency based on job offers, work experience, and qualifications.
Example: Canada’s Express Entry program.

2. Student Immigration
Many students migrate temporarily for higher education and then transition to permanent residency.
Tip: Applying for scholarships can make this path more affordable.
3. Investment & Business Immigration
Wealthy individuals can obtain residency or citizenship through significant financial investment in the destination country’s economy.
Example: Portugal’s Golden Visa Program.
4. Family Sponsorship
Citizens and permanent residents can sponsor close family members to join them.
5. Humanitarian & Refugee Immigration
For people escaping war, persecution, or danger in their home country.
