Canada for Russians is one of the most attractive countries for emigration. This is explained both by its high standard of living, social stability, and the relatively friendly immigration policy, which distinguishes this country from Western European ones. Going to Canada for permanent residence is relatively simple, it does not require any exorbitant amounts of money or special professional knowledge.

You can move to permanent residence in Canada in three main ways: as a professional, as a business investor, or to reunite with your family (marrying a Canadian or moving to relatives living in Canada). Business immigration includes three subcategories of individuals: financial investors, artists and entrepreneurs. Moreover, the minimum requirements for language proficiency (English, French) are presented for the immigrant business category.

For professional immigration, there are special programs and selection methods. Professionals leaving for the professional immigration category must successfully pass the language proficiency test (IELTS test) and score 67 points on the general questionnaire. For specialists in demand professions and with good knowledge of English, there are practically no difficulties with moving to permanent residence in Canada and arranging in a new place.

To enter Canada, you will need a valid passport and immigrant visa. The conditions for leaving the home country of the Canadian authorities do not care, so whether it is worth formalizing an exit for permanent residence officially or not, it is up to you to decide only depending on specific conditions. In general, it is recommended that you draw up the necessary formalities.

The first thing you should take care of immediately upon arrival, and preferably before moving to the country, is to open an account with a local bank with a certain amount of money on it. Often, even at the stage of applying for an immigrant visa, embassy representatives demand the opening of such an account, which is a kind of guarantee of the financial well-being of the settler.

Also, immediately after the move, you need to take care of obtaining the Social Insurance Number (SIN) - the Social Security and Health Insurance Number (Health Card). The social security number is issued at the Employment Center, and medical insurance at the office of the Ministry of Health.

It is important to keep in mind that you can use state health insurance only two months after moving to the country. Until this time, you need to buy a temporary health insurance policy. To do this, contact any insurance agent of your choice. He will tell you what health insurance programs exist and what services they cover.
