About Canada:
There are a number of ways to obtain a Canadian Immigrant visa.
You should think about it in terms of “immigration categories”. Each category represents a legal means for an applicant to obtain permanent resident status.
Five main categories for Canadian immigration are:
1) Skilled Workers and Professionals:
This is designed for individuals who will immigrate to Canada on the basis of their own personal credentials.
2) Investors, Entrepreneurs and Self-Employed:
This is for business minded people entering Canada as an investor, entrepreneur or self-employed.
3) Sponsoring Your Family:
How to sponsor a family member to join you here if you are a permanent resident.
4) Canadian Experience Class:
This is for Foreign Students and Temporary workers with at least two years Canadian Experience.
5) Humanitarian and Compassionate Applications:
This application is usually for people living in Canada without legal status but who have nevertheless established themselves in Canada.
Contact us, if you are planning on travelling abroad.
Visit us to book a consultation, and we will be sure to answer all of your immigration questions.
