Tips On Immigration To Canada

By Nora Jennings


Moving to another country is a very big step. It can often take many months or even years to get the final approval and make the move. This is a time fraught with anticipation and concern. Most applicants are very anxious and find the waiting time very difficult. Once they have made their decision to move and filed their paperwork they really want everything to happen as fast as possible.

Many people are looking for a place that offers no only good jobs, but a high standard of living. For this reason immigration to Canada is one of the most popular choices for people from all over the world. They recognize that this huge country has so much to offer. There is a tremendous diversity of landscapes and the opportunity to live in a bustling city or quiet country village.

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.

Other aspects of life that make the country so desirable are low crime rates and affordable housing. In many places it is still possible to purchase a home at a reasonable price. Families who would never be able to consider home ownership in their home country can often purchase a place of their own and put down roots.

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.

However keen they were to make the move it always requires a period of adjustment. Making new friends takes a while and new immigrants must be prepared to work hard on their social life. They will find plenty to do, including clubs, sports and activities. Once they make the effort to get out and meet people they should be able to develop a good social circle to help and support them.

Once they have received their local level approval they can then submit their paperwork to the province. This stage usually moves quite fast. Finally the application goes to the Federal level for the final approval. This stage takes several months and the applicants will be required to have a medical examination.

The Canadian lifestyle has so much to offer. Most immigrants report that when their final approval come through they are delighted and look forward to starting their new life. It does take a while to get settled in. Working with local or regional settlement services is a good idea and can help people to find a suitable job and housing.
