Things To Know About Immigration To Canada

By Nora Jennings


Moving to another country is a huge and exciting event. Many people feel that it gives their children more opportunities or they may want to be close to other family members. Whatever their reasons it takes a lot of serious thought and consideration before beginning the paperwork. Potential immigrants should be aware that it takes a number of months, if not years before that permanent residency confirmation finally arrives.

People come from all over the world to enjoy the wonderfully high Canadian standard of living. There are many economic opportunities, along with great schools and state of the art hospitals. There is also an amazing diversity of landscapes and places to live. For these reasons immigration to Canada is as popular now as it has been for decades.

The processing times vary depending on the individual circumstances of each applicant and their country of origin. Each embassy posts their estimated processing times on their web site, although these should be used as a guide only as they are constantly changing. Those with in demand job skills can often move ahead faster.

Some immigrants want to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the big city. Toronto and Montreal are both perfect choices. They are thriving locations with plenty of employment options and great housing. Many people from Europe feel at home in the predominantly French province of Quebec. They will have no problem meeting other people with a similar background.

There is typically the requirement that potential immigrants make a preliminary visit to Canada. This is to ensure that they are completely aware of what they are doing. The visit usually has to be for at least seven days and can be to any part of the country. Most people feel this is a great opportunity to see regions which they may be interested in considering as their permanent home.

The Federal route is still in effect. It is perfect for those who have family members already in Canada or who have a job skill that is in demand. Either way there will be a significant amount of paperwork to complete and the wait times to process an application run from around fifteen months to several years.

Children will also need some time to adjust to their new life. Many parents are so busy getting their own lives in order they may forget that their youngsters are also going through a big change. Spending time together as a family is very important. Telling the kids to invite their new friends over is a nice way to meet other families in the neighborhood.

Anyone considering moving to Canada should realize there is some work and expense involved in the process. Each application will pay a processing fee along with a payment to cover the costs of permanent residency. Other expenses include the cost of police clearance certificates and the mandatory medical examinations which must be done by a board certified doctor.
