Immigrate to Canada from Monaco

Regulated Canadian immigration advice for people living in Monaco, from an RCIC (licence R534491). In English or French.

Moving from Monaco to Canada

Monaco is small, but its residents ask the same questions as anyone planning a move: which program fits, what it costs and how long it takes. French is the Principality’s official language, so Monégasque citizens are well placed for Canada’s French-language routes.

Vikesh Immigration Services is a Canadian immigration consultancy founded in 2021, with offices in Ajax, Ontario and Port Louis, Mauritius. Our director, Vikesh Ramroop, is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant, and you can verify licence R534491 on the public register of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants. We work with clients in Monaco by video call, WhatsApp and email, in English or French, so you do not need to travel to meet us.

We start with a free evaluation, then tell you plainly which options are realistic, what each will cost and what to prepare. We do not promise approvals. Our fees are kept affordable and are given to you in writing before you commit.

Routes to Canada for people in Monaco

Express Entry and permanent residence

Express Entry manages the Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Trades programs. No job offer is required. French is a real advantage: candidates with NCLC 7 or higher in all four abilities receive 25 or 50 additional points, depending on their English results, and IRCC holds selection rounds for French-speaking candidates.

Work permits and Francophone Mobility

Francophone Mobility is a work permit for French-speaking workers who have a job offer outside Quebec. The employer does not need a Labour Market Impact Assessment, and the French level asked for is NCLC 5 in speaking and listening. We do not find jobs or sell job offers.

Work permits

Study permits

A study permit is for students accepted by a designated learning institution. Monaco is not on the country list for the Francophone Minority Communities Student Pilot, so students from Monaco apply through the regular study permit stream.

Study permits

Family sponsorship

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner and dependent children living in Monaco for permanent residence. IRCC assesses the sponsor, the relationship and the applicant’s admissibility.

Visitor visa and Super Visa

Citizens of Monaco do not need a visitor visa for short stays. To fly to Canada you need an electronic travel authorization (eTA), which is linked to your passport. An eTA lets you visit, normally for up to six months; it does not let you work or study, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry. Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents can apply for a Super Visa, which allows stays of up to five years per entry.

Francophone communities outside Quebec

Canada wants more French-speaking newcomers in its Francophone minority communities, from New Brunswick to British Columbia. The Francophone Community Immigration Pilot offers permanent residence to workers with a job offer from a designated employer in one of six participating communities. Quebec selects its own skilled workers under separate rules.

Questions we hear from Monaco

Do citizens of Monaco need a visa to visit Canada?

No. Citizens of Monaco are visa-exempt for short stays, but need an electronic travel authorization (eTA) to fly to Canada. You still need the right permit if you plan to work or study.

French is my first language. Do I still need a French test?

Yes. IRCC only accepts results from TEF Canada or TCF Canada, taken less than two years before you apply, even if you were educated entirely in French. A good result is what turns your French into points.

Can I immigrate to Canada from Monaco without a job offer?

Yes. Express Entry does not require a job offer. Most candidates are selected on their age, education, language results and work experience, and French speakers have an additional advantage.

Do you have an office in Monaco?

No. Our offices are in Port Louis, Mauritius and Ajax, Ontario. We work with clients in Monaco by video call, WhatsApp and email, and applications to IRCC are submitted online.

Do you guarantee approval?

No. Decisions are made by Canadian immigration officers, and no honest consultant can promise a result. We promise accurate advice, a complete application and regular updates.

Speak to a regulated consultant

Wherever you are in Monaco, you can call, WhatsApp or email either office. Tell us your age, education, occupation and language ability, and we will tell you where you stand. The first evaluation is free.
