Canadian immigration procedure

Canada is a country with vast forests, snow-capped mountains, lakes, islands and tundra, without the vast nature and maple leaves covered by human beings. From Niagara Falls to Banff National Park, it is an ideal place for outdoor sports, especially ice and snow sports. The first line in southern Canada is those beautiful cities: Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

Canada is an immigrant country, including all the major nationalities in the world, so it is also called "the country of immigrants". The government encourages the coexistence and development of multiculturalism. Different ethnic groups keep their own cultural traditions and customs, while respecting the customs and traditions of other ethnic groups. The inclusiveness of ethnic groups is a major feature of Canadian life.

What steps and procedures are needed to go to this beautiful and charming country? Let's take a look at it with the immigration network.

I. Classification of Canadian visas

Temporary residence (i.e. tourist) visa

Suitable for private visits (visiting relatives and friends), business visits, tourism, overseas students returning to Canada (with valid study permits), students studying for a short time (with courses not exceeding six months, including summer camps), processing authors returning to China (with valid work permits) and transiting Canada.

Study permit

If you want to attend a short course of six months or less, you can study in Canada without a study permit. But if you are a citizen of China, you still need to apply for a temporary resident visit visa in this case. If you enter Canada for short-term study, but later decide to extend your study time to more than 6 months, you will be required to leave Canada and apply for a study permit abroad.

Therefore, if you plan to study in Canada for more than 6 months, even if you are only admitted to short-term courses at present, you should consider applying for a study permit. If you want to study in Quebec as a foreign student, you need to apply for the Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ). Minors going to Canada alone need the written consent of their parents and legal guardians in Canada.

work permit

This application form is suitable for applicants who intend to work in Canada for a short time. These include postdoctoral researchers, visiting scholars, live-in nannies and secondees from multinational companies.

Canadian permanent resident travel document

This application is applicable to Canadian permanent residents outside Canada, who do not have proper Canadian immigration documents to prove their permanent resident status.

Second, the visa processing process

1 Fill in the application form (fill in different fixed format forms according to different visa types, note: each visa has its own fixed form, and the information and English spelling must not be wrong when filling in)

Prepare other application materials and translations (different application materials are required according to the visa type, such as university admission notice, deposit certificate, parents' information, proof of work unit, etc.). )

Submit the visa materials and pay the visa fee (the visa fee is the processing fee charged by the visa center, excluding the service fee and translation fee required for preparing materials and translation. )

4 Waiting for visa review (usually about 4 weeks, depending on the specific review of the embassy)

Book air tickets and accommodation (you can also book air tickets and hotels in advance, and submit them together with the visa application materials for visa review)

To get a passport, you can get it yourself, you can entrust someone else to get it, and you can mail it.

Three. Basic information needed to apply for a visa

1, valid passport, ID card and household registration book

2, photos (see photos for specific requirements)

3. If the applicant is a student, you need proof of studying (in Chinese and English), proof of parents' employment (see the template in Chinese and English for details) and proof of guardian under 0/8 years old.

4. If you are an on-the-job employee, you need an on-the-job certificate and a leave certificate (see the Chinese and English template for details).

5. If you are a retiree, you need a retirement certificate and a pension certificate.

6. Property certificate (see Chinese and English templates and requirements for details)

7. Other certificates, such as foreign invitation letter, notice from foreign schools, payment certificate, air ticket reservation or hotel letter, etc.

8. The above materials should be original and translated (note that the format and translated version should be standardized and correct, and consistent with the application form).

Fourth, matters needing attention

1. Meet the basic requirements of Canadian visa policy.

The visa requirements of the Canadian government may be adjusted every year, so pay attention before applying and make full preparations according to different application policies and requirements.

2. The preparation of materials should be true and sufficient.

In the process of applying for a visa, the authenticity of the materials is a very important factor, and the most important thing for the Canadian Embassy is the authenticity of the materials (the Canadian government believes that although education is an industry, the main purpose of education is to cultivate talents, so it is more cautious when choosing applicants for studying abroad. )

3. Simple purpose

Many people apply to go to Canada, whether for studying abroad or sightseeing. The purpose must be clear and single, and it cannot reflect the purpose of immigration or other purposes, because visa officers attach great importance to the authenticity and purpose of materials during the examination, so as to control the immigration tendency of international students.

4. Adequacy of preparation

When preparing materials, we must pay attention to the requirements of the embassy. Materials must be fully prepared, not less, and not blindly added. Sometimes providing some powerful supporting materials will increase the favorable factors of visa application, but sometimes it will be counterproductive. As for how to add and what kind of materials are most beneficial to you, parents may wish to consult more experts.

5, the importance of proof of assets

No matter what kind of visa you apply for, proof of assets is indispensable information.

In addition to the bank deposit certificate accident, the fund certificate can also provide the deposit history certificate, such as interest slip, bank statement, fund, national debt, stock trading fund, etc. However, please note that this fund must be stable enough to prove the financial strength of the family. In addition, real estate and cars can also be used as supplementary proof.
