Canada is one of the few developed Western countries that not only willingly accepts foreign citizens for residence, but also conducts a targeted search for specialists in various fields of activity for subsequent immigration. These political characteristics, combined with a high standard of living, have made Canada an unusually attractive country for emigration.
Instructions
Step 1
It is possible to obtain a permanent residence permit in Canada (Permanent residence) for a citizen of the countries of the former Union even in his home country through the Canadian embassy. In the future, it will have to be confirmed and consolidated already in Canada itself, for this you will need to live in the country for 2 years. You can leave for permanent residence in Canada either as a relative of a permanent resident of this country (marriage with a Canadian or reunification with relatives), or upon obtaining a work contract. Moreover, the second option is the most convenient and easy to implement.
Step 2
The fact is that Canada itself is interested in the influx of qualified highly educated specialists. Annually, up to 200 thousand people enter its territory on work visas. Therefore, if you have a specific job offer from a Canadian employer, you can be sure that a Canadian work visa is already in your pocket.
Step 3
If there is no such offer yet, the main difficulty is to find an employer interested in you, who will agree to draw up the necessary documents. Under Canadian law, a foreign citizen can only take a job that is not claimed by native citizens. To do this, your prospective employer will need to submit a statement to the Employment Center of Canada (HRDC) proving that his company needs a foreign employee, since local citizens cannot take this place.
Step 4
After your future employer has received the appropriate permission and secured the support of the state, you can safely submit your job offer to the embassy. The application is reviewed in a period from two weeks (special program of the province of Ontario) to several months. During this time, your documents from the embassy are sent to the Employment Center of Canada and a decision is made there. After that, a work visa is issued at the embassy to enter the country.
Step 5
For migration on a work visa, knowledge of English or French (for the province of Quebec) languages at least at the everyday level is very important. Formally, ignorance of the language cannot serve as a basis for refusal to issue a visa at the embassy if the working conditions do not require proficiency in it. But in practice, it is better to learn at least basic everyday phrases, especially those related to the area of your future work. The embassy official you will communicate with may want to test your knowledge of the language at least at a minimal level and it will be much better if you can speak to him without an interpreter.
