Learning About Canadian Immigration Requirements

By Ida Dorsey


Relocating to another country is not only an exciting and life changing experience, but also one that requires a lot of hard work. Many thousands of people each year take this huge step and begin the long road to their new life. Those who are prepared to do their homework and learn what the government is really looking for tend to be the most successful and gain their all important permanent resident status faster.

Before a potential immigrant can even get started it is very important to learn all about the complex system surrounding the immigration process. The Canadian immigration requirements are very exacting and candidates should know that they will be thoroughly background checked and they should be prepared to disclose every detail that is required. They must also understand that it can take several years to get through the pipeline and finally land in Canada.

An important first step is to decide which part of Canada to move to. In recent years the new provincial nominee programs have become very popular. It is still possible to apply directly to the Federal government, but that often results in frustrating delays and higher levels of job skills. The provincial programs allow each province to nominate applicants they need to fill their own unique needs. This can range from technology specialists to horticultural workers.

A potential immigrant should spend time learning about each province and area to see which they feel will be the best fit for them. They can then go on line and learn about the initial paperwork they will need to submit. Fortunately this can all be found on line and this saves a lot of time. Interviews can now be done with Sykpe and similar technology which obviously saves time and money.

The early stages of the process involve gathering basic information about the principle applicant and their family members. Even grown up children who will not be accompanying their parents must also be listed on the forms. This is because they may later decide to move and saves a lot of time in the long run.

Most provinces now run their own programs to recruit immigrants to fill their needs. For example, the province of Nova Scotia may be looking for young families willing to start their own business in a rural area, whilst Quebec and Ontario may be looking for those with technology based skills.

Financial matters are also a very important part of the process. The government will want proof that each family has enough money to live on whilst they get established in their new country. However, applicants are cautioned not to sell their home or quit their job until they have received their final letter of approval.

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.
