Learning About Canadian Immigration Requirements

By Ida Dorsey


Each year people from all over the world begin their application process to become permanent residents of Canada. They will have to provide a lot of detailed answers to prove that they have the money, job skills and health to meet the stringent requirements of this progressive country. Despite all the work involved most immigrants feel that it is more than worth it for the chance to have a new life in such a vast nation.

Canada has many wonderful features that are very attractive to a range of people. One of the most appealing is the diverse landscape and amazing range of opportunities. The country has everything from quaint east coast fishing villages to the majestic Rocky mountains and bustling cities like Toronto and Edmonton. Most people make at least one visit to the country before starting the their paperwork and leaning about the Canadian immigration requirements.

One of the first things for an interested applicant to do is make a exploratory visit to Canada. They will be expected to stay for around a week and it is typical that they will stay in the province they are hoping to move to. In some cases it may be possible to meet with a local economic development commission and begin the preliminary paperwork. They will be able to ask questions and get a good idea of what to expect in terms of paperwork and expenses.

Each applicant should understand that Canada is looking for immigrants buy does maintain some of the highest standards of any country in the world. Each person will be thoroughly vetted to ensure that they have the money, job skills, health and background to make a positive contribution to the economy. Those who can clearly show that they meet all the criteria will be accepted faster and be able to start their new lives sooner.

Job skills are another important aspect of the paperwork. The government of Canada is looking for people with specific job skills and training who can fill vacancies in many parts of the country. Applicants should be ready to do their homework thoroughly and find where local and provincial governments are trying to recruit workers with their particular set of skills.

Each box must be filled out, even those that are not relevant. Missing even the smallest detail can result in the application being pushed to the bottom of the pile for days or weeks. An applicant should never send in their paperwork without checking and double checking that everything is complete.

Security and police background checks are an essential step in the process. Each and every adult named on the paperwork will need to submit up to date police clearance certificates from every country they have resided in for six months or longer. This can take some time and should not be left until the last moment.

Educational documents to include are high school diplomas, college certificates and degrees, technical and trade certification and any other relevant information that is required. It is always better to add more rather than less paperwork to support an application and show the government that the applicant really is serious.
