Unlike neighbours United States,
Canada, a country of just 37 million people, said it is still open for more
immigrants.
In the next three years, up till
2021, the country said it is ready to accept one million immigrants more. And
that will include, we guess, immigrants from Roxham Road Border crossing, where
rejected refugees from US crossed on foot to the Canada. Guess who announced
the immigration plan in January in a report to Parliament?
It was Ahmed Hussen, himself a
migrant from Somalia, who fled to Canada when he was just 16 years old. Hussen
is now in his 40s and is the Canadian minister of immigration, refugees and
citizenship.
“Thanks in great part to the
newcomers we have welcomed throughout our history, Canada has developed into
the strong and vibrant country we all enjoy,” Hussen, wrote in an annual report
to Parliament in January.
How can one emigrate to Canada,
apart from going through Roxham Road?
There are many companies that
have sprung up, worldwide proposing to be partners and agents of Canadian
immigration department.
But our recommendation is that
you log on to Canadian immigration website to determine your eligibility to
join the Canadian immigration wave. Click on canada.ca/en/immigration to
register and find out your eligibility status.
On the site, you register for a
GCkey, where you choose your username and password
Then you create an account.
After creating the account, then
you need to find out whether you are eligible to apply for emigration by
answering some test questions.
Fill an application, submit and
pay. Then await messages related to your application, check the status of your
application and update your information.
There are four ways at the
moment, through which one can emigrate to Canada in 2019. We share a write up
by canadim.com, one of those agents offering services for would-be-immigrants.
Express Entry
Express Entry is a system of
immigration programs that help skilled workers move to Canada as permanent
residents. The system ranks candidates according to their age, education, work
experience, and language abilities, and then selects the best candidates to
come to Canada. Express Entry also allows workers to bring their family
members!
Express Entry has the fastest
processing times of all Canadian permanent residency programs, with 80% of
applications being processed in 4 months or less.
Provincial Nominee Programs
(PNPs)
Each of Canada’s 13 provinces and
territories (with the exception of Quebec) has its own immigration program,
called a Provincial Nominee Program or PNP. PNPs let provinces respond to their
individual economic needs by nominating certain candidates for permanent
resident status. Often PNPs search out foreign workers with experience in
occupations which are in-demand in the province. For example, the province of
Saskatchewan recently changed its PNP to nominate more computer programmers.
There are nearly 80 different
PNPs across Canada, each with its own set of eligibility requirements. If
you’re eligible for just one of them, that could be your ticket to Canada!
Become an International Student
Canada is a top destination in
the world for international students. This is because of the countries great
schools, affordable tuition, and positive attitude towards newcomers. But!
Canada also makes it easy for international students to apply for permanent
immigration after their study has ended. For this reason, many newcomers choose
to start their immigration journey by studying in Canada, and then apply for
permanent residents status later!
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot
Program (AIP)
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot
Program (AIP) was launched in 2017 to help bring more workers to Canada’s
Atlantic Region. The program lets employers in the Atlantic Region hire
international workers from outside of Canada. If an international worker
receives a job offer from one of the participating employers, they receive
support in their immigration process and in their settlement to Canada.
In order to be eligible for AIP,
first you have to get a job offer from one of the program’s designated
employers.
There are 3 programs in AIP that
employers can hire you through. There are Atlantic International Graduate
Programme, Atlantic High Skilled Programme and Atlantic Immediate-Skilled
Programme.
You may qualify for more than 1
programme, but you can only apply through 1.
For all 3 programmes, you have to
show proof that you meet the language, education and work experience
requirements and that you have enough money to support you and your family when
you come to Canada.
