Mr. Stephen Green is one of the two Senior Partners, at a leading Canadian and U.S immigration law firm. He specialized in the immigration laws to Canada. He is also an adjunct professor at Queens University, he teaches immigration law for people looking to work as immigration consultants.

According to Mr. Green, Canada is a very friendly country, they are not politically biased to any particular group of people; everyone is welcome in Canada. In 2023, the Canadian government is said to be taking in the highest number of immigrants ever, almost half a million people.

He explained different eligibility criteria for immigration to Canada. One can go to Canada temporarily as a student or a worker. To go as a temporary worker, one needs an employer in Canada and a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) which is a document that the employer needs to present proving that the specific job cannot be filled by a Canadian or a permanent resident. The process is often complicated and difficult. Mr. Green says, one must be careful during the process and watch out for frauds who are simply selling these LMIAs in many countries around the world. It is also important to keep in mind that one should only approach a Canadian lawyer or a registered immigration consultant for your immigration; taking the help of anybody else is illegal and can ban one immigrating to Canada for up to five years.

To live in Canada permanently there are certain other programs available for it, one of which is known as the ‘Express Entry’. In this program, one need to express interest in coming to Canada to the government by filling and submitting the express entry profile, which includes information such as one’s age, education, work experience, job offers in Canada etc. These forms are evaluated by the Canadian government every two to three weeks.

Another way to move to Canada permanently is through the ‘Start-up Visa Program’, where people who have innovative business ideas are encouraged to come to Canada and expand their business there. In this program, one need to meet specific requirements of any of the three organizations in Canada and get a letter of support from them which will further enable to apply for immigration. The three main immigration organizations in Canada are incubators, angel investors and venture capital. Incubators help you develop your business in Canada, whereas angel investors and venture capital put money into the start-up business.

Canada also has something known as Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), where the 10 different provinces in Canada have each of their own immigration programs. Once one meet all the requirements, applicant will receive a letter of nomination from the province and can apply for immigration to Canada as a provincial nominee.

Canada also offers exchange programs for kids who are under the age of 35 years and come from countries that have signed an agreement with Canada, such as: some EU countries, Japan, Australia etc.

Once the person is an immigrant, he/she have to live in Canada for a total of two years within five years to have permanent resident card renewed. If one lives in Canada for a total of three years then the person will get a Canadian citizenship. Unlike many other countries, in Canada one can be a holder of multiple passports. Immigrants in Canada can sponsor their family members too.
