Canada Immigration Government
Obviously, you have given at least some thought to immigrating to Canada or you wouldn't be reading this mini course. While you probably have your own reasons for considering such a move, here are a few others to think about:
- As of February 18, 2005, the current Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Joe Volpe, announced changes made to immigration procedures for the spouses and common law partners of permanent residents. Now if you are approved as a permanent resident, your spouse or common law partner of either gender can live and work with you in Canada while their immigration application is being considered.
Previously, significant others had to wait for approval before moving to Canada.
- Becoming a permanent resident now means you will have less time to wait before applying for Canadian citizenship. To become a citizen, you have to have lived in the country for at least three of the four years prior to your application for citizenship.
Plus, you can become a citizen of Canada without having to give up your citizenship in your country of origin. Remember that these issues are also subject to change.
