Canada is one of the most popular destinations in the world, particularly for immigration. There are over 200,000 new immigrants and visitors every year, who enter the country via a comprehensive visa system.
One of the more common options is the Federal Skilled Worker Class visa. This is designed to cater to workers with desirable skills that will provide a boost to the Canadian economy. A points system, based on age, work experience, education and ability to adapt is in place to screen potential applicants. Anyone who is granted entry will also gain the same rights as a Canadian citizen, except for the right to vote. For those who fail to pass the point system, there are other alternatives available.
For example, there is the Immigrant Investor programme. Simply put, this entails an applicant making a minimum investment of $400,000 in a government or province-approved venture. In addition, they must prove that they are capable of successfully setting up and operating a business and have a net worth of at least $800,000.
Another alternative is the Entrepreneur Programme. This requires the applicant to either purchase or invest in a commercial undertaking that will boost the economy and provide jobs for residents and their families.
Yet another alternative is the Canadian Family Visa. With this, Canadian citizens can sponsor foreign relatives for an agreed period of time, which can be between 3 and10 years. During this time, the relative must establish themselves within the society and the workforce.
I’d love to live in Canada; i think the experience would be great
