Immigrating
to Canada typically occurs from outside of Canada by submitting a
proper application to a Canadian Consulate, Embassy or Commission
that serves the applicant's country of nationality.
Applications may also be submitted to the Visa office that serves
the country where the applicant has been lawfully residing for at
least one year.
The
present trend is to have One-Step Processing where all necessary forms
are filled out, documentation obtained, photos taken, medicals performed and
security certificates included before the application is submitted. A
failure to submit all of the necessary documentation in the package
will likely result in the rejection of the entire application. It is
advisable to seek professional assistance in the preparation of the
One-Step Processing package before submission. Processing of
immigration applications is deceivingly complex with many unwritten
rules about how applications are evaluated.
The primary
categories for immigrating to Canada are as follows:
1. Economic
Classes
A) Business Class
B) Skilled Worker
2.
Family Class - Including Spouses, Dependant Children,
International
Adoptions, Parents and Grandparents.
3.
