Going
to Canada
One
of the largest countries with a population of a mere 29 million
people, Canada is actively looking for immigrants. Not only is
it easier to immigrate to Canada than to other lands of opportunity,
it is also probably one of the most attractive countries in which
to live. A recent survey done by the UN stated that Canada is
one of the best countries to live in.
Canadian
Employment Authorisation (employer sponsorship)
A
non-Canadian candidate who wishes to seek employment can qualify
for Independent Immigration under the points system. Independent
immigration takes a long time to process, and any urgently required
staff will probably have to be transferred using visas sponsored
by the employer.
Time
to obtain visa - 2 to 6 weeks.
Uses
Employers who wish to bring in senior managers/ executives frequently
use this category. It can also be used to employ highly skilled
individuals to fill a vacancy that has been validated to show
that, despite significant recruitment efforts, it has not been
possible to find a suitably skilled Canadian permanent resident.
The following categories of foreign workers do not need to be
validated by a Human Resource Centre:
Senior managers or executives seeking to enter Canada as intra-company
transferees.
Musicians and performers who have a contract to perform in Canada.
Volunteers who have been offered positions with registered Canadian
religious or charitable organisations.
Exchange Professors.
Post-doctoral fellows.
Film crews going to film documentaries or travelogues in Canada
Engineers or technicians going to supervise the installation of
equipment sold by their company to a Canadian purchaser or going
to repair or service such equipment.
Dependants
The spouses of those with work authorisation will need to have
their own work authorisation to be able to work in Canada. Children
of school age can apply for student authorisation for entry to
Canada.
Data
required
Completed form, Job offer, qualifications, and employer references.
If required you will also need a validation from a Canadian Human
Resources Centre.
