Tips On 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.

As the second largest country in the world, Canada offers an amazing diversity of landscapes. From the massive forests of the Pacific shore to the quaint fishing villages of Newfoundland, there is something to suit every taste. In fact, many new settlers plan to live in one location for a few years then move on to see somewhere new. This is the perfect way to see many different places and get the best idea of what suits their particular needs.

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.

Getting settled can take quite a while. Many newcomers are quite surprised by how much there is to do. They must find a place to live, either renting or buying, purchase vehicles, buy furniture and find a job. All this cannot be accomplished in a week and they must be prepared to work hard and remain optimistic through those first few months. Others are surprised to find themselves homesick.

Once the individual has decided which province they wish to live in they might want to consider the provincial nominee program as the fastest way to complete their application. Each province runs its own program to recruit the type of settlers they need. It is a three step process that begins with a relatively informal application to the local immigration office.

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.
