Setting Your Immigration Resolutions for 2025
We all make new year’s resolutions every year. Some we keep, some we don’t. However, the ones we do keep are the ones that are most important to us, our families, and our loved ones.
Some of your resolutions may include planning your immigration project to Canada. It could be that you did not start your immigration journey earlier because of obligations that did not allow you to in your country of residence or citizenship. Or for some, it could be that these plans were not started because it all seems to be daunting, and you do not know where to begin.
We are providing small tips and a guide on how to start your immigration project in 2025 and stick to it!
Stay Up-to Date with Rules and Regulations
It is important to stay informed with all the changes in immigration. There are many programs that have new requirements. Therefore, some programs that you may have been eligible for before, you may no longer eligible for, and vice versa.
Prepare your documents
While the documents required for your immigration journey will vary as they are based on personal circumstances. It is important to verify that you have a valid passport.
In addition, if your basic documents, such as, your birth certificates, your national ID’s cards and others are in a different language other than French or English, they will need to be translated by a certified translator. Only documents that are in English or French can be submitted to the Canadian Government.
All documents that are translated need to be submitted in their original language and accompanied with the official certified translated version.
How to apply for a work permit
If your immigration goals for 2025 are to advance your career. Find out about the type of work permit you may be eligible for. Perhaps you are working for an employer now that has a branch in Canada, and you would like to experience working in Canada. Depending on your situation, you will need to verify if you can in fact apply for a work permit and what documentation is required to submit a complete application.
Studying in Canada
Pursuing your education in Canada could be one of the options you are considering. Earning an internationally accredited education can add value to your future career and prospects. Finding the right program is the first step to this process. The program is a very important element when applying for a study permit. This is because it is the basis of presenting a strong and compelling narrative to the government of Canada. Once you have identified this, then you would need to verify the requirements as they can vary depending on the country that you are applying from.
Permanent Residence
There are different types or programs that you may be eligible for when it comes to permanent residence. It is important to verify the different types of programs and their requirements regarding the documentation that is required.
Family Reunification Applications
If you are looking to start your application to be reunited with your loved one. It would be important to verify the processing times, as they can vary depending on the province you are indicating your intention to reside in. In addition, because the basis of these types of applications is to prove your relationship is in fact genuine, there are several documents that are required to prove this. As always, they will depend on your personal circumstances. Sponsoring your spouse, is a beautiful way to start the year!
For all immigration programs, you must ensure your application is a complete one and all the documentation required is prepared and submitted. We can further guide you and help you to determine which program you are eligible for and what documents you will need.
