Frequently Asked Questions
Which immigration documents do I need to come to Canada?
The immigration documents you need to come to Canada depend on your purpose of travel.
You may need to obtain a Temporary Resident Visa (VRT) if you plan on visiting Canada as a tourist.
You will need to obtain a work permit if your purpose of travel is to work for a Canadian company.
You will need to obtain a study permit if your purpose of travel is to study in a program lasting over 6 months.
How can I become a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen?
To become a permanent resident or Canadian citizen, there are specific pathways and requirements outlined by Canadian immigration authorities.
For permanent residency, individuals typically apply through programs such as the Express Entry (EE) system, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), or Family Sponsorship. Each pathway has its own set of criteria, including factors like education, work experience or language proficiency. As for Canadian citizenship, you must first become a permanent resident, then meet residency obligations and pass a citizenship test.
It is important to note that immigration laws and policies can change, therefore it is advisable to stay updated on the latest information or consult with an immigration professional for personalized guidance tailored to your unique circumstances.
How long does it take to process my immigration application?
Processing times for immigration applications can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of application you are submitting and your country of residence.
For example, Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) applications typically take a few weeks, while Work and Study Permits can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the volume of applications being processed. Permanent Residence applications, such as those through the Express Entry system, generally take between six months to a year or more.
Additionally, certain countries may have longer processing times due to higher application volumes or specific administrative procedures.
Can my family join me in Canada?
Yes. Family members can accompany you when you immigrate to Canada, and there are specific provisions for including them in your immigration application. Typically, this includes your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children.
To include your family members, you will need to provide documentation such as marriage certificates or proof of common-law partnership, as well as birth certificates for dependent children. The definition of “dependent children” generally includes those under 22 years of age who are unmarried and do not have a common-law partner. In some cases, older children may also qualify if they have been financially dependent on you due to a disability.
Can I switch from one immigration status to another while in Canada?
Yes. You can switch from one immigration status to another while in Canada, but specific conditions apply depending on your current status and the new status you wish to obtain. For example, if you are in Canada on a Temporary Resident Visitor Visa (VRT) and want to apply for a Work Permit, you may do so if you have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer. In this case, you would need to meet the requirements for the Work Permit, including obtaining a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) if required.
