Factors To Understand Concerning 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.

Canada has many wonderful features that are very attractive to a range of people. One of the most appealing is the diverse landscape and amazing range of opportunities. The country has everything from quaint east coast fishing villages to the majestic Rocky mountains and bustling cities like Toronto and Edmonton. Most people make at least one visit to the country before starting the their paperwork and leaning about the Canadian immigration requirements.

One of the first things for an interested applicant to do is make a exploratory visit to Canada. They will be expected to stay for around a week and it is typical that they will stay in the province they are hoping to move to. In some cases it may be possible to meet with a local economic development commission and begin the preliminary paperwork. They will be able to ask questions and get a good idea of what to expect in terms of paperwork and expenses.

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.

Job skills are another important aspect of the paperwork. The government of Canada is looking for people with specific job skills and training who can fill vacancies in many parts of the country. Applicants should be ready to do their homework thoroughly and find where local and provincial governments are trying to recruit workers with their particular set of skills.

Anyone with a criminal conviction in their past will need to secure a government pardon well before they submit their initial paperwork. This alone can take six months to a year to complete and may well require the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney. The Canadian government is very picky about who they are willing to approve and takes all convictions very seriously. Even an offense from twenty years ago needs to be disclosed.

Security and police background checks are an essential step in the process. Each and every adult named on the paperwork will need to submit up to date police clearance certificates from every country they have resided in for six months or longer. This can take some time and should not be left until the last moment.

Once they have been approved for permanent residency the family will have a designated amount of time in which they have to land in Canada. This will be clearly stated on their papers. They do not have to move right away but missing the landing deadline is a serious matter that should be avoided at all costs.
