Tips On Immigration To Canada

By Nora Jennings


Each year many people make the life changing decision to move to another country. There are many reasons for this decision. For most people the most important factors are economic and life style opportunities. They feel that life in a different country will be a new start for themselves and their families.

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.

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.

There are a number of factors that determine weather or not the applicant will be successful. For example anyone with a criminal record will need to apply to the Canadian government for a certificate of rehabilitation. This can take up to a year to process and comes with an application fee. This step however must be completed before the candidate can move forward.

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.
