What To Do For Smooth Immigration To Canada

By Tanisha Berg


Those who move to Canada usually end up wanting to become citizens. You must be in one of the four immigration categories if you want a smooth immigration to Canada. Determine whether you are part of the family class, comprised of people who have family members who are already Canadian citizens; economic immigrants, who hold jobs in the country already; refugees who want to escape torture or persecution in their previous countries; and others who seek to immigrate for humanitarian reasons.

The Citizenship and Immigration Canada department has divided the economic immigrant group into seven sub-categories. In 2005, high-profile business applicants made up 19.8 percent of all the immigration into Canada. The country has also created a VIP Business Immigration Program, allowing those with lengthy business and management skills to be placed at the top of the list for immigrant status.

Quebec has the Immigrant Investor Program in place. Both citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their close family members. Refugees also fall into this program, and can seek asylum if they require protection. Canada also has a nationality law that allows an immigrant to apply for citizenship if he or she had been living as a permanent citizen for 2 years, and physically lived in the country for 3 years within a 5 year period.

A lot of people who move to this North American country end up having to pay some hefty fines. It's confusing for most people on where to even start when you decide to permanently move to the country. If you don't want to get denied emigration status, make sure to find a stable job for you to support yourself as you settle in.

If you're a skilled worker, you can apply for emigration status much easier. There are many different guidelines people need to follow to immigrate. Skilled workers especially need a job in the country for at least a year to apply for citizenship.

You will need points of at least 67 to be considered for immigration status. The maximum amount is 100, and you obtain points in various ways. You can get some if you have a higher education level, so keep that in mind. You can also get more points if you are fluent in English, French, or both of them. If you have a job and want to be considered a skilled worker, make sure to check the National Occupational Classification list to see whether the job you have is qualified under the category.

If you're applying as a skilled worker, you'll need to obtain eligibility points by having a full-time or part-time job of that expertise. If you have been hired by a company in Canada, ask your employer for a letter stating that you're a full-time employee and make sure you have all the documents proving that and your education. You'll also need to pay certain registration fees and fill out certain forms.

If you are unsure of the laws of the application process, hire an immigration lawyer that can help. Before you apply, you should get a physical to make sure you can pass the required health screening test. In addition to passing this health test, you cannot have any criminal record.
