Instruction manual

The program of professional immigration "Qualified Specialist" is the most common. It allows qualified workers to obtain Canadian resident status if they have a profession that is in demand in the country. You will find a list of such professions on the official website of the Canadian Embassy. For immigration under this program, pass an exam for knowledge of one of the official languages of the country - English or French. Fill out the immigration form and score the required number of points. Points are awarded for many parameters: education, age, profession, data of family members, etc.

Family program - for those with family members who are citizens or residents of Canada. Make an official invitation from relatives, get their desire to support you financially in the country.

Business immigration is possible for those professionals who already run their own business, and also have a constant financial income (specialists working by invitation, investors, entrepreneurs). Prepare financial documents confirming your income. Consult with a lawyer in which area you are best to invest in Canada if you are an investor.

Provincial programs (immigration to certain provinces) have some differences in the number of points required, for example, to enter the province of Manitoba you need to score 55 points, in Ontario - 65. And to immigrate to the French-speaking part of Canada, the province of Quebec, you only need to speak French tongue. Find out if you meet the program requirements of these or other provinces.

Once you have selected the appropriate category, fill out the questionnaires and prepare the necessary documents. Now you need to hand over all documents to the Canadian Embassy. On the official website of the Embassy you can find information on the correct filling of questionnaires and calculation of points, as well as a list of required documents.

After an invitation to an interview, which you will have to expect no more than one year, you will need to undergo a medical examination of your health and family members. This process will take several more months.
Useful advice
Despite the relative clarity of the criteria and the availability of the necessary information, going through all the stages of the immigration procedure yourself is quite difficult. If you have questions, contact qualified personnel.
