Quick Steps To Immigration To Canada

By Sally Delacruz


Many people all over the world are looking for economic opportunities. They want to live in a country that offers good jobs, health care, low crime rates and an overall high standard of living. It does take some time and research to find a place that offers all that and more besides, but many potential immigrants have decided that the Canadian lifestyle has the most to offer.

Because of all the positive things the country has to offer it is one of the top picks for immigrants from all over the world. The Canadian government can be very picky about who they allow to move to their country. The standards are very high and before they begin an application potential settlers should realize this. No everyone will be able to achieve their dream of immigration to Canada, but there are steps that will help to achieve the desired outcome.

The most important thing to do is really understand the immigration process. It does take some work to become familiar with all the steps and exactly what is required. However, by doing the research properly ahead of time most people can save themselves a lot of frustration and money.

There are two main factors that will prevent a person or family from being able to move to Canada. They are a criminal background and chronic health conditions. In the case of any criminal conviction the government reserves the right to deny an applicant. There is a separate process for gaining a certificate of rehabilitation. This takes some time and will need to be supported by character references and evidence that the individual has indeed turned their life around.

One of the main requirements of any potential immigrant is that they can pass a criminal background check. Anyone with a criminal conviction must be aware that the Canadian government does not look kindly upon this. They will need to submit a formal request for rehabilitation. This process can take up to a year to complete, but is essential before any application for residency can be made.

The nominee programs are based at the local level and allow people who would not qualify for the Federal programs to apply for residency. They must still provide all most important documentation such as criminal background checks and pass a medical examination. In addition they must also have enough money to get themselves established and provide for their family for the first few months. It can be hard to find jobs especially in rural areas and new settlers should be prepared for this.

Before beginning their paperwork the potential immigrant will be required to make at least one trip to Canada. This is an important step as it allows them to see what the county is like and shows that they are committed. They should then check on line to find the local immigration office who will set up an appointment and get things going. Most interviews can now be done via Sykpe or a similar service.

It can take anywhere from a year onwards to gain the all important permanent resident status. Even then the family will be required to reside in the country for two out of the next five years to fulfill their residency status.
