The proverb “Where it was born, it came in handy” is not suitable for everyone. Many people leave their home country, find work, live in a completely different place.
Russians prefer to leave for permanent residence in the United States, Australia and many other countries, including Canada, which ranks second among countries where residents are satisfied with their situation.
The first question that arises for people who plan to move: "How to leave to live in Canada?"
Knowledge of languages
First of all, you need to understand that without knowing the language in another country, there is nothing to do. Those who cannot express themselves will find it very difficult. If you leave for permanent residence in Canada, you will need to draw up documents, go to shops, study or work. Knowing the language is simply necessary. This is one of the first requirements. Below is a table of points for language proficiency.
You can learn English or French, which are national in Canada, on your own or complete special courses. However, in any case, it will be necessary to pass an exam to all those leaving (if this is a family, then to the whole family) for language knowledge. IELTS - exam in English, TEF - in French. The cost of the exam is 100 euros.
Education
Without education it is not easy not only in Russia, but also in a foreign country. To leave to live in Canada, it is best to have a higher education and work experience in the specialty in which a person plans to work in Canada for at least 4 years. Below is a score table depending on the level of education.
You can get an education in Canada, but in this case there should be funds for living and admission, about 25 thousand Canadian dollars. If you want to work during the training period, then this can be done as follows: from the first day you can earn extra money on the campus, and 6 months after the start of training, the direct employer has a part-time job.
They recommend going to college, since study is cheaper, and its quality is in no way inferior to university education.
At the same time, a person may no longer be wondering how to move to Canada, as a completed education will make it possible to get a job immediately and after that get a residence permit and citizenship.
Package of documents
In order to collect a complete package of documents, a certain time is required. Each form has its own validity period (usually 1 year). Therefore, care must be taken to send documents on time.
List of documents:
- Education document.
- Certificate from the employer about the duration of work in the organization (the work book will not work, since this document does not matter for the Canadian immigration department).
- Statement. The form is downloaded on the official website of the embassy, form IMM 0008. All other attachments to the application can also be downloaded on this resource. After filling in all the columns, even if it is not clear what to write about, the application is printed out and attached to the package of documents. You need to know that incomplete applications or forms will not be accepted for consideration.
Below is a sample application, the type of which can be found, but documents are filled out only on a computer yourself, or forms are taken in the migration service (passport office).
4. Certificate from the police about a criminal record.
5. Bank statement indicating the amount on it.This will be necessary if immigration is not carried out at the invitation to work, as you can move to Canada under other programs.
Documents must be translated into English or French in a qualified center and certified.
When all documents and applications have been collected, they must be sent to the Canadian Embassy for consideration by the immigration officer.
Point system
When considering documents, there is an evaluation system. For each item affixed a certain number of points. For example, 21 points can be awarded for work experience. In total, you need to score 67 points or more. However, the number of points scored is quite a relative phenomenon, so the question of how to move to Canada for permanent residence is decided, first of all, by a general assessment of all the characteristics.
If, for example, 67 points are scored, but there are suspicions that a person will not be able to live in Canada, he is denied a statement. Or vice versa: there are few points, but there are characteristic signs that a person can exist in another country socially. In this case, they may also skip.
This is decided during the interview, which follows after reviewing the documents and making a positive decision on compliance with the requirements of the country of departure.
Medical board
If the number of points meets the standard, a citizen is given a special form and he needs to go through a medical commission at an accredited institution. The cost of the examination is about 200 euros, it all depends on the city in which the organization is located. Diagnosis can be completed in one day.
A person cannot move to Canada if he has found serious diseases that require hospitalization or long treatment: cancer, AIDS, diseases of the cardiovascular system, tuberculosis, dangerous infectious diseases.
Visa
After the commission is passed, a visa is issued for departure to Canada for permanent residence.
The issued visa is valid for a year, so the sooner you use it, the greater the chances of entry. This visa is not renewable.
Upon arrival in the country, it is necessary to pass a simple control - provide documents, answer for what purpose the trip, etc. The answer must be honest and looking directly into the eyes of the officer. Otherwise, they may suspect that a person came to the country with ill intentions.
It is very important for Canada that visitors respect their new place of residence, and also have all the signs of adaptability.
Adaptation and Housing
In order to decide how to leave to live in Canada, you need to evaluate your capabilities. The country has completely different concepts and customs, therefore, before submitting documents, you need to learn more about this state. For example, as people who have already moved when they write about housing, you need to know that in cities housing is cheaper than outside the city. By the way, you need to take care of the place of residence in advance.
In cities there are houses where the owner is one person and rents out apartments to those who wish. In order to rent a house, it is best to take any recommendation from friends who live in Canada, or from a future employer. The same position exists in some credit institutions - the recommendation is crucial.
In addition, having friends or relatives in the country will help resolve the issue of how to move to Canada from Russia.
Driving license and medical care
According to his driver's license, which a person received in Russia, he can move around the country for a while. However, it would be advisable to obtain a new certificate by handing over the rights. In Canada, a slightly different system of categories, but in the same way, you can not pass to the next category without experience in the previous one.
When passing the exam, there is one peculiarity - in no case should you "scam" or violate the "little" rules of the movement in a foreign country.If the candidate for drivers does not miss, for example, a car (which may not follow the rules) or a pedestrian, then most likely that he will not receive a license. In Russia, unfortunately, this often turns a blind eye.
According to health insurance, which is almost an identification document in Canada, a person who has not yet obtained citizenship will not be able to be served. In the event of a disease, he has the right to use the services of paid clinics and purchase medicines at a local pharmacy. It is advisable, before leaving to live in Canada, to take care of the presence of those drugs that a person is used to, including temperature pills or nasal drops.
And in conclusion, I would like to note that a healthy person who knows one of the official languages of Canada, has a university degree and at least four years of experience, as well as the necessary amount of money to ensure his living in the country, can count on the fact that with full compliance documents he will receive a long-awaited visa.
The procedure from filling out an application to obtaining a visa usually takes about 18 months, since you can leave to live in Canada only if the information provided in the application meets the requirements of the Department of Migration. In addition, a quota of approximately 500 people is established for each year, the documents of which must be considered, a decision must be made for each, and an interview can be conducted if necessary.
