As a citizen of Singapore, you will not require a visa in order to travel to Canada; however, all requirements set out by your Canadian immigration program of choice must be fulfilled in order to be accepted as an applicant.
One option available to applicants is Express Entry’s application process for Federal Skilled Worker or Canadian Experience Class visas, using its points system to assess applications and select applicants who will then go on to apply for permanent residency.
Visitor’s Visa
Singapore, as one of the three remaining city-states globally, draws in millions of tourists annually, allured by its lush green spaces, opulent resorts, historically rich districts, modern architectural marvels, expansive shopping centers, delectable street food varieties, and top-tier points of interest.
However, Singapore’s visa prerequisites can be stringent, demanding applicants to fulfill precise criteria for entry permission.
To obtain a Visitor’s Visa in Singapore, an applicant must possess a passport with at least six months remaining of its validity, sufficient funds for their stay, and an invitation letter from a local contact or strategic partner certifying they possess enough funds and will return home after their stay has concluded.
Once approved for a visa, applicants will be issued an eIACS registration number and a printed copy of their Singapore eVisa, which should be printed out and carried out when traveling within Singapore.
Fingerprint registration takes place at an eIACS Enrollment Center such as Changi Airport Terminal 3, Woodlands Checkpoint, or Tuas Checkpoint before applying.
As well as satisfying all of the prerequisites listed above, applying for a Singapore eVisa requires applicants to fill out both a medical questionnaire and police report, obtain proof of travel and accommodation arrangements as well as pay the required fees.
Furthermore, anyone staying longer than 90 days must submit an extension request through the same ICA portal.
Applying for a Singapore visa can be complex, so it is wise to consult a qualified immigration agent prior to beginning.
An OMARA registered Migration Agent will offer advice and guidance, helping with document preparation as well as helping avoid common errors that lead to rejections of visa applications.
Express Entry
Are You Thinking About Moving Permanently From Singapore to Canada? Apply through Express Entry!
The program uses a point-based evaluation system to determine which candidates are most eligible for immigration; applicants receive points depending on age, education level, language ability, and work experience – once an applicant meets this threshold they receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence.
Step one of this process involves creating an Express Entry profile online and at no cost. After your profile is created, candidates will be ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), with those possessing high CRS scores being eligible to submit applications for permanent residence.
When submitting an Expression of Interest, it is crucial that you provide detailed information about yourself and your background – this will allow the Visa Officer to understand how you will contribute to Canada’s economy.
In addition, providing supporting documents like reference letters, academic certificates, and police clearance certificates is highly advisable.
When opening a business in Canada, having sufficient funds available for investment is critical.
Visa officers pay particular attention to entrepreneurs’ financial capacities; taking into account any liquid assets such as bank statements or investments held.

Quick Guide: Get a Job in Canada as a Foreigner?
Permanent Residency
Singapore’s dynamic way of life and thriving economy make it a magnet for individuals seeking enhanced employment prospects or improved living standards for their families.
The nation stands out for its consistent governance, remarkable economic environment, and inclusive healthcare system, collectively positioning Singapore as one of the most desirable destinations for residency.
Before moving from Singapore to Canada, there are a few key points you should keep in mind.
The climate can differ dramatically, with colder winters and shorter days; furthermore, costs of living tend to be much higher due to currency differences as many items must be imported from other countries.
Consider these costs carefully if you plan to work in Canada, particularly if this will impact your budget.
Depending on your employment field, earning potential may increase significantly here; but be mindful of any changes this might have on your finances.
Professionals/Technical Personnel Scheme: Apply for Permanent Residency Now If you’re an eligible professional, apply for Permanent Residency under the Professionals/Technical Personnel scheme and work in Singapore when making the application; possess a valid Employment Pass, Entrepreneur Pass, Personalised Employment Pass or S Pass visa prior to submitting.
Once granted with an REP card you’ll be allowed to stay for five years after being approved for residency status.
Business owners, founders of fast-growing tech companies, and family office principals with significant entrepreneurial, business, and management experience may apply for REP through Singapore’s General Immigration Programme (GIP).
However, this route is only open to those who have already invested a significant sum of money here and can demonstrate that it has increased significantly since submitting their initial REP application.
Selecting the appropriate pathway is of utmost importance, and our team of immigration experts is available to guide your decision-making in making it the most beneficial for your circumstances.
We offer advice and explanation about different pathways into Canada such as Express Entry.
In addition, our experts can outline its requirements as well as offer assistance in preparing an application.

Business Immigration
No matter if you are an entrepreneur looking to establish a business in Canada or an investor looking for investment opportunities, it is vital that you fully comprehend the Canadian immigration process.
This involves understanding its various programs, categories, and subcategories as well as meeting eligibility requirements before applying – this will increase your odds of success!
Many Singaporean immigrants have successfully established businesses across various sectors – from real estate to high-tech – since migrating to Canada, and as such the Canadian government welcomes entrepreneurs with talents that could bring economic or labor market benefits.
To be successful, it is imperative that you can demonstrate you possess the necessary expertise and experience in your chosen field.
This can be accomplished by providing documents such as proof of education or work experience as well as references from industry leaders.
Furthermore, you should demonstrate commitment to carrying out your business plan in Canada by investing in it, signing a commercial lease agreement, hiring staff members, or purchasing equipment.
As a business immigrant, you will also require sufficient financial resources to support yourself and your family during the initial stages of residency in Canada.
This requirement is especially pertinent if applying through Express Entry; the government will require evidence that you possess adequate settlement assets so you can manage expenses once moving here.
If you or any members of your family are non-Canadian permanent residents or citizens, submitting police certificates from each country they have lived in since turning 18 will be necessary.
Translation services may also be necessary if original certificates do not use English or French writing systems.
All this documentation must be presented prior to applying for a visa.
