Individuals residing abroad who meet the eligibility criteria can apply for Canadian immigration. This includes various programs like Express Entry Skilled Worker (FSW) or Federal Trade Skill (FTS), and Self-employed immigration. Many people receive permanent residency approval before entering Canada, thus beginning their life there with a secure status.
Each Canadian province differs in environment, developed industries, and employment culture. Therefore, the choice of region is highly personal. Before preparing for immigration, it's recommended to consider factors such as local weather, living conditions, educational opportunities, and industrial structure to find a suitable location.
The general processing time is around 6 months, with the current approval period for Express Entry marked as 5 months as of September 2023. However, this can vary, so it's recommended to check the latest processing times on the Canadian immigration website when applying.
The processing time varies depending on whether the program is linked with Express Entry or not. As of September 2023, it's 9 months for linked programs and 17 months for others. This can extend to 10 or 18 months or longer, depending on the situation.
To work in Canada, a work permit is necessary. There are two main types: Open Work Permit and Closed Work Permit. The Open Work Permit allows individuals to work anywhere in Canada without employer restrictions, including the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), Working Holiday, Co-op programs, or Spousal Open Work Permits (SOPW). Closed Work Permits, obtained through the LMIA process, are restricted to employment with a specific employer.
