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.

Immigrant groups often find themselves facing penalties when moving to Canada. Most people are unsure of what to do or even where to start once they decide they want to permanently move to this North American country. Don't be surprised by costly fines, and make sure to have a job in place for you so you can support yourself.

There are a lot of guidelines and rules that apply to the different classes of people who can immigrate to Canada. Skilled workers are one of these categories. These skilled immigrants must hold a job for a year in the country before they can apply for citizenship.

Your emigration status depends on a 100 point system, with 67 points being the minimum acceptance level. Your points for up if you have a high education level, so you can achieve even more points if you have more education than normal. Knowing how to speak and write English and French can also give you more points. If you want admittance as a skilled worker, you need to make sure that your occupation is listed and qualifies under the National Occupational Classification list.

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.
