Immigrate to Canada from Egypt

Egypt is one of the largest Arabic-speaking source countries for Canadian immigration. Graduates and professionals, and especially those with French or strong English, often have competitive profiles for Express Entry and provincial programs.

What applicants from Egypt should know

  • Egypt is one of the largest Arabic-speaking source countries. Engineers, doctors, IT specialists and teachers often have strong profiles.
  • French makes a big difference: strong French results add CRS points and open French-language Express Entry draws.
  • Police certificate: a criminal record certificate from the Egyptian Ministry of Interior, plus certificates from other countries where you lived six months or more.
  • Biometrics are given at the visa application centre in Cairo.
  • Egyptian degrees need an educational credential assessment for Express Entry.

Frequently asked questions

I studied French at school. Does it help?

Yes, if you take TEF Canada or TCF Canada and reach NCLC 7 or higher. This can add up to 50 points.

Can doctors and nurses immigrate from Egypt?

Yes, through Express Entry or provincial programs. Working as a doctor or nurse in Canada also needs a separate professional licence, so we plan both together.

What CRS score do I need?

There is no fixed score. Cut-offs change with every draw and differ between general and category-based draws. We estimate your score and compare it with recent draws so you know where you stand.

Which language tests are accepted?

For English: IELTS General Training, CELPIP-General or PTE Core. For French: TEF Canada or TCF Canada. Results are valid for two years.
