Canada offers a wide range of programs and opportunities for persons who wish to live, work and establish businesses in the country. Most provinces in Canada offer programs for persons to be nominated by the province and subsequently be approved by the federal government. Navigating through the different programs to find the appropriate one for applicants can be difficult at the best of times.
Hence, this requires a sound knowledge of programs across Canada or in the case of Altec Global a solid working relationship with Lawyers and Consultants in various provinces who can assist Altec Global clients achieve their goals. Altec currently represents clients wishing to reside and work in Ontario, Quebec and Prince Edward Island in the east of Canada and Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia in the west.
Immigration Programs & Pathways
As at present, Canada has over 100 immigration programs; offering a wide range of opportunities by which persons can immigrate to the country either as temporary residents with permission to work or study or become Permanent Residents. Navigation through this maze of programs can be difficult for a potential applicant and can lead to disappointment and failure for a person not familiar with all the requirements. It is advisable that potential immigrants to Canada discuss all possibilities before deciding to proceed.
The most popular programs available are the Federal Express Entry program which requires a potential applicant to post a profile on a federal government website and monitor the regular pass mark for successful applicants. Persons who meet the age, education, language and work experience criteria and have their application selected based on a Points system will be invited to apply for Permanent Residence in Canada.
Similarly, provincial governments can draw on profiles submitted by potential applicants and using their own criteria can select applicants that meet their own profile. As provincial governments give preference to applicants who have a connection to their province, either through relatives living there or having studied in the province, it makes sense to show a strong connection to the province if you expect to be selected.
Quebec operates its own selection system which requires that anyone wishing to immigrate to that province obtain a CSQ or Certificate de Selection de Quebec before any Canadian Permanent Resident Visa can be issued. Altec is fortunate to work with a leading law firm in Montreal to provide assistance to our clients that are destined to Quebec. Immigrating to Canada can be a complex procedure with many steps along the way to success. Unless you have an intimate knowledge of all the procedures it is best to engage the services of a seasoned professional advisor.
