Learning About Canadian Immigration Requirements

By Nora Jennings


Canada is an amazing country and one of the top choices for those looking to immigrate and start a new life. It is a huge and diverse land with so much to choose from. There are vibrant cities such as Toronto, Edmonton and Montreal. At the same time there are quiet little seaside villages where it seems that nothing has changed in the past fifty years.

Despite the benefits of moving to Canada potential immigrants should realize right away it is not always an easy process. There are many things the applicant must know before they submit any paperwork. In fact, there are certain conditions that may well render them unable to proceed. The government is keen to maintain the high cultural and economic standards of the country and Canadian immigration requirements are very strict.

Canada is a huge country with a relatively small population. The government is actively looking for immigrants, but is very picky about who they approve. The specifically want people with education, job skills, money and the desire to succeed. Those who have certification or licensing in a particular area may be in a better position to have their application moved along faster.

No matter which path they choose most programs have the same basic requirements. The candidates must be under the age of fifty five and in good health. Minor health issues will not be a problem, but any chronic conditions that require medication will need additional paperwork. If there is a possibility that the condition may worsen over time this too may be a barrier to permanent residency.

Applicants must also be ready to provide police background check certificates from all countries they have lived in since the age of eighteen. This can take some time and there is usually a small charge for each document. However, the application cannot be processed without them and every effort must be made to provide them.

Each member of the applicants family must also have a medical examination. Even older children who are not named on the forms and will not be travelling with the parents will still need to have the exam. This is because they may want to join the family later on and established immigrants can sponsor family members. The government wants to know that everyone is healthy and not suffering from a condition that may put stress on the health care system.

Job skills are also a very important requirement. The Canadian government needs people with job skills who can fill vacancies and help to drive the economy. Those who are self employed and will develop their own business are also in demand. This is especially true for those who will move to rural locations and help to bring life back into dying communities.

Only when they have successfully obtained the certificate can the applicant move ahead. This certificate is vital as it shows that the government has deemed the individual as rehabilitated and not considered a risk for committing another crime.
