Moving From Another Country


Moving From Another Country

This is not an easy task. Pack your belongings into a handful of suitcases and relocate to another nation. This is even more challenging if the country is far away, across continents and seas, with different climates, cultures, laws, and languages than you are accustomed to.

Moving to Canada From the US

If you live in the United States and desire to relocate to Canada, you will encounter a unique set of issues and concerns. Fortunately, we've put up a guide that walks you through every stage of migrating to Canada from the United States.

Immigration Programs

The first step in relocating to Canada from another country is deciding which immigration route is appropriate for you. This is largely dependent on your objectives in Canada. Do you intend to settle in Canada permanently? Or are you coming to work, study, or see family or friends? If you wish to live in Canada permanently, you'll need to apply for a permanent residency visa. If you wish to move to Canada for employment, study, or to visit, you'll need to apply for a temporary residence visa.

Permanent Residence Pathways

Permanent resident status entitles the person to live and work in Canada. As long as certain conditions are followed, the status is permanent, and after a few years, permanent residents are eligible for Canadian citizenship. What steps must a person take to become a permanent resident? There are several immigration options for permanent residents:

  • 1. Economic Class Immigration
  • 2. Family Class Immigration
  • 3. Business Class Immigration

Temporary Residence Pathways

Temporary resident status allows its bearer to stay in Canada for a limited time to pursue specific activities listed on their immigration documents. Temporary residents are generally permitted to enter Canada for the purposes of working, learning, and/or visiting. Each of these temporary residents has their own immigration path.

Working in Canada

You may be looking for work once you arrive in Canada in order to support yourself and your family. When looking for work in Canada, there are a few factors to consider:

  • Work Authorisation in Canada: In order to work in Canada, you must have the right authorization. If you are a permanent resident of Canada, you are automatically authorised to work in Canada. Otherwise, you must have a legal permission that authorises your work.
  • Job Bank Resources: In Canada, there are a variety of resources available to assist persons seeking for work. The Federal Job Bank is run by the Canadian government, and many job openings are advertised on a daily basis. There are also other other job posting websites and networking services.
  • Certification and Licensing: In Canada, many professions are regulated. This indicates that in order to practise in that profession, a worker must acquire a certificate or licence. Before coming to Canada, it is a good idea to find out if your profession is regulated and how to obtain a certificate or licence, if necessary.

Studying in Canada

Canada has some of the world's best educational institutions! There are numerous opportunities to study in Canada. Permanent residents are eligible to study at any institution in Canada, provided they are accepted. Temporary residents must seek authorization to study in Canada, which takes the form of a study permit.

When to move to Canada

You are not required to relocate to Canada immediately after your application for Canadian Permanent Residence is approved. However, you must get in Canada before your CoPR visa expires. After you have arrived and established your permanent residency status, you can begin the moving procedure at your leisure.

Crossing the Border

If you are crossing the border as a temporary resident, you must verify that you have all of the necessary papers. Many nations require a visa to enter Canada, whilst others are visa-free. Also, make sure you have all of the essential identity documents. Certain procedures must be followed before crossing the border to become a permanent resident. Make sure you have the following documents on hand.

Accommodations/Housing

You will need to find a place to reside in Canada once you arrive. Some newcomers choose to find housing before arriving in Canada. We do, however, advise caution when booking rooms in advance, as there is some rental and housing market fraud. When they first arrive, many newcomers prefer to stay at a hotel or with friends or relatives. This allows them time to look for accommodations in person. Once you've determined where you want to live, check with Newcomers Canada to see if they have any resources that can help you.

Healthcare and Social Services

Canadian citizens and permanent residents enjoy equal access to the country's healthcare and social services. To learn more about how to obtain these services, contact Newcomers Canada. Temporary residents, including workers, students, and visitors, must have access to health insurance while in Canada.
