How long does it take to immigrate to Canada?

The two-year Canadian immigration law stipulates that every new immigrant must live for two years every five years in order to retain his immigration status.

According to the Canadian Citizenship Act, applicants for citizenship must meet the following conditions: they must be legal permanent residents of Canada; Age 18 years old or above; Have lived in Canada for three years in the four years before the application; Have sufficient English or French skills and be able to read and write simple documents; Understand the rights and responsibilities of being a Canadian citizen, and be familiar with Canada's political system, historical background and geographical situation.

And you need to take the naturalization test and pass it. For children under the age of 18, if one parent is already a Canadian citizen or applies for naturalization at the same time, the applicant does not need to live in Canada for three years.

After listening to the applicant's materials, the Immigration Bureau will determine whether an interview is necessary, and inform you that if you take the IELTS test (not necessary), you can be exempted from the test, and those with excellent grades (generally above 6 points) can be exempted from the test (you can also take the IELTS test first and send your transcripts and application materials to the Immigration Bureau).

Step 4 interview

The Immigration Bureau will send you an interview notice about 2 months before the interview. The notice will inform the applicant of the exact interview time and the materials that need to be brought during the interview (please note that some materials must be original). The interview time is generally 30 minutes. You will know the interview result after the interview. If qualified, the immigration officer will issue you a medical examination form.

6. Get landing papers.

After the interview, if there is no problem with the physical examination, it will take about 1 month, and the immigration office will issue an immigrant visa.

7. Entry registration

Declare entry before the landing time restricted by immigrant visa (usually 1 1 month after getting the landing paper).
