ഒക്ടോബർ 2018ൽ അവസാനിക്കുന്ന പത്തുമാസകാലയളവിനുള്ളിൽ മൊത്തം 15016 ഇന്ത്യക്കാർക്ക് കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വം ലഭിച്ചു എന്ന് കനേഡിയൻ അധികാരികളെ ഉദ്ധരിച്ചു ടൈംസ്‌ ഓഫ് ഇന്ത്യ റിപ്പോർട്ട് ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു. അതായത് കഴിഞ്ഞ വർഷത്തെ ഇതേ കാലയളവുമായി താരതമ്യം ചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വം ലഭിക്കുന്ന ഇന്ത്യക്കാരുടെ എണ്ണത്തിൽ 50% വർദ്ധനവാണ് ഉണ്ടായിരിക്കുന്നത്. കഴിഞ്ഞവർഷം ഇതേ കാലയളവിനുള്ളിൽ കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വം ലഭിച്ച ഇന്ത്യക്കാരുടെ എണ്ണം 9992 ആയിരുന്നു.
എമിഗ്രെഷൻ, റെഫ്യൂജീസ് ആൻഡ് സിറ്റിസൺഷിപ് കാനഡയുടെ(IRCC) കണക്കുപ്രകാരം ഒക്ടോബർ 2018 നുള്ളിൽ ഏകദേശം 1.53 ലക്ഷം ആളുകൾ കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വം നേടിയിട്ടുണ്ടാകും. 2017ൽ ഇതേ കാലയളവിനുള്ളിൽ കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വം നേടിയവരുടെ എണ്ണം 1.08 ലക്ഷം ആയിരുന്നു. 2018മായി താരതമ്യം ചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ പൗരത്വം നേടിയവരുടെ എണ്ണത്തിൽ 40% കുറവാണ് ഇത് സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്.
2018ൽ കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വത്തിനപേക്ഷിച്ചവരുടെ എണ്ണത്തിൽ രണ്ടാം സ്ഥാനമാണ് ഇന്ത്യക്ക്. ഫിലിപ്പീൻസുകാർക്കാണ് ഒന്നാം സ്ഥാനം. 15642 ഫിലിപ്പീൻസുകാരാണ് 2018ൽ കനേഡിയൻ പൗരന്മാരായത്.
കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വനിയമത്തിൽ വന്ന മാറ്റങ്ങൾ
കാനഡയിലെ സ്ഥിരതാമസക്കാരുമായി(permanent residents) താരതമ്യം ചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ കനേഡിയൻ പൗരന്മാർക്ക് ഒട്ടനവധി ആനുകൂല്യങ്ങൾക്ക് അർഹതയുണ്ട്. വോട്ട് ചെയ്യാനുള്ള അവകാശം, ഗവൺമെൻറ് ജോലിക്കുള്ള അർഹത, കൂടുതൽ സഞ്ചാരസ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം എന്നിവ അവയിൽ ചിലതുമാത്രമാണ്. 2017 ഒക്ടോബറിൽ നടപ്പിൽ വരുത്തിയ കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വനിയമത്തിലെ ചില മാറ്റങ്ങളാണ് കൂടുതൽ ഇന്ത്യക്കാർ കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വത്തിനു അർഹത നേടുവാൻ ഉണ്ടായ ഒരു പ്രധാനകാരണം.
മുൻപ് കാനഡയിൽ സ്ഥിരതാമസക്കാരനായ ഒരാൾക്ക് കനേഡിയൻ പൗരത്വത്തിനു അർഹത നേടണമെങ്കിൽ ആറുവർഷത്തിനുള്ളിൽ നാലുവർഷമെങ്കിലും കാനഡയിൽ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നിരിക്കണം എന്നായിരുന്നു നിയമം. എന്നാൽ 2017 ഒക്ടോബറിൽ ഇത് അഞ്ചുവർഷങ്ങൾക്കുള്ളിൽ മൂന്നുവർഷം എന്നാക്കി കുറച്ചു. ഈ മാറ്റങ്ങൾ നിലവിൽ വന്നതിനുശേഷം 2017 ഒക്ടോബറിനും 2018 ജൂണിനും ഇടക്ക് 2.42 ലക്ഷം പൗരത്വത്തിനായുള്ള അപേക്ഷകളാണ് IRCCക്ക് ലഭിച്ചത്. മുൻ വർഷത്തെ സമാനകാലയളവുമായി താരതമ്യം ചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ ഇത് ഇരട്ടിയിലധികമാണ്.
സ്ഥിരതാമസക്കാരുടെ എണ്ണത്തിൽ ഒന്നാം സ്ഥാനം
2017ൽ 51651 ഇന്ത്യക്കാരാണ് കാനഡയിൽ സ്ഥിരതാമസത്തിനു അർഹത നേടിയത്. ഇതോടെ കനേഡിയൻ സ്ഥിരതാമസക്കാരിൽ(permanent residents) ഏറ്റവുമധികം പേർ ഇന്ത്യയിൽ നിന്നുള്ളവരായി. കാനഡയിൽ സ്ഥിരതാമസത്തിനു അർഹത നേടിയവരിൽ ഏകദേശം 18% വരും ഇന്ത്യക്കാർ. രണ്ടാം സ്ഥാനം ഫിലിപ്പീൻസിനും (40857) മൂന്നാം സ്ഥാനം ചൈനക്കുമാണ് (30270). മൊത്തം 2.86 ലക്ഷം പേർക്ക് 2017ൽ പിആർ വിസ ലഭിച്ചു എന്നാണ് 2018ലെ പാർലമെന്റിലേക്കുള്ള വാര്ഷികകുടിയേറ്റ റിപ്പോർട്ട് വ്യക്തമാക്കുന്നത്.
അർഹരായ കുടിയേറ്റക്കാരുടെ എണ്ണം വരും വർഷങ്ങളിൽ വർദ്ധിപ്പിക്കുവാനാണ് കാനഡ പദ്ധതിയിട്ടിരിക്കുന്നത്. നിങ്ങൾ കാനഡയിലേക്ക് കുടിയേറുവാൻ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നുവെങ്കിൽ ഇതൊരു സുവർണാവസരമാണ്. ഏതുതരം സഹായത്തിനും ഞങ്ങളെ സമീപിക്കാം.

വളരെ കുറഞ്ഞ കാലയളവിനുള്ളിൽത്തന്നെ വികസനരംഗത്ത് വൻചുവടുവയ്പുകൾ നടത്തിയ രാജ്യമാണ് കാനഡ. വ്യവസായങ്ങൾ തുടങ്ങി ഉന്നതനിലവാരം പുലർത്തുന്ന സർവ്വകലാശാലകൾ വരെ ഒരു വ്യക്തിക്ക് മികച്ച നിലയിൽ ജീവിക്കുവാൻ ആവശ്യമായ എല്ലാ സൗകര്യങ്ങളും കാനഡയിലുണ്ട്. ലോകത്തിലെ പത്താമത്തെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ സമ്പദ്വ്യവസ്ഥയാണ് കാനഡയുടേത്. കൂടാതെ കനേഡിയൻ സമ്പദ്വ്യവസ്ഥ അനുദിനം പുതിയ ഉയരങ്ങളിലേക്ക് കുതിക്കുകയാണ് എന്നതും അംഗീകരിക്കേണ്ട ഒരു സത്യമാണ്.
ഒരു രാജ്യത്തിന്റെ സാമ്പത്തികവളർച്ചയെ സ്വാധീനിക്കുന്ന പല ഘടകങ്ങളുണ്ട്. അതുപോലെ കാനഡയുടെ സാമ്പത്തികവളർച്ചയും നിരവധി ഘടകങ്ങളെ ആശ്രയിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. അവയിൽ വളരെയധികം പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ഒന്നാണ് കുടിയേറ്റം. അതുകൊണ്ട് തന്നെ കാനഡ ഗവണ്മെന്റ് കുടിയേറ്റത്തിനു പ്രത്യേക പ്രാധാന്യവും പരിഗണനയും നൽകുന്നു. സ്ഥിതിവിവരക്കണക്കുകൾ പ്രകാരം കാനഡയിൽ അഞ്ചിലൊരാൾ കുടിയേറ്റക്കാരനാണ്. മൊത്തം കുടിയേറ്റക്കാർ കാനഡ ജനസംഖ്യയുടെ ഏകദേശം 21.5% വരും.
പുത്തൻകുടിയേറ്റക്കാരെ രാജ്യത്തേക്ക് ആകർഷിക്കാൻ കാനഡ ഗവണ്മെന്റ് എല്ലാ ശ്രമങ്ങളും നടത്തുന്നുണ്ട്. വരുന്ന മൂന്നു വർഷങ്ങളിലായി ഏകദേശം ഒരു ദശലക്ഷം പുതിയ കുടിയേറ്റക്കാരെ സ്വാഗതം ചെയ്യുവാനാണ് ഗവണ്മെന്റിന്റെ പദ്ധതി. എന്തുകൊണ്ടാണ് കുടിയേറ്റത്തിന്റെ കാര്യത്തിൽ കാനഡ ഇത്രയധികം താല്പര്യം കാണിക്കുന്നത്? വളരെയധികം ചർച്ച ചെയ്യപ്പെടുകയും ഒട്ടനവധി പേർ ഉത്തരം തേടുകയും ചെയ്ത ഒരു ചോദ്യമാണിത്. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ കാനഡക്ക് കുടിയേറ്റക്കാരെ ആവശ്യമുണ്ട് എന്ന വസ്തുതയ്ക്ക് മൂന്ന് വ്യക്തമായ കാരണങ്ങൾ നിങ്ങൾക്കുമുൻപിൽ അവതരിപ്പിക്കാൻ ഞങ്ങൾ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നു.
വിദഗ്ധതൊഴിലാളികളുടെ ദൗർലഭ്യം
വിദഗ്ധതൊഴിലാളികളുടെ ലഭ്യത ഒരു സമ്പദ്വ്യവസ്ഥയുടെ വളർച്ചയേയും തളർച്ചയേയും നിർണായകമായി സ്വാധീനിക്കുവാൻ ശേഷിയുള്ള ഒരു ഘടകമാണ്. ആവശ്യത്തിന് വിദഗ്ധതൊഴിലാളികളുള്ള ഒരു രാജ്യം ഉയർന്ന സാമ്പത്തികവളർച്ച കൈവരിക്കുകയും തൽഫലമായി രാജ്യത്തെ ആളുകളുടെ ജീവിതനിലവാരം മെച്ചപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്യും. 2018 മാർച്ച് 13ലെ കണക്കുപ്രകാരം കാനഡയിലുടനീളം ഏകദേശം നാല് ലക്ഷത്തോളം തൊഴിലവസരങ്ങൾ അർഹരായവരെ കാത്തിരിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്. തൊഴിലാളികളുടെ അഭാവം കാനഡയിലെ എല്ലാ പ്രൊവിൻസുകളെയും ബാധിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. ഈ സാഹചര്യത്തിലാണ് സമ്പദ്വ്യവസ്ഥയുടെ വളർച്ചക്ക് സഹായകരമാകും വിധം തൊഴിലാളിലഭ്യത ഉറപ്പാക്കുന്ന തരത്തിൽ കുടിയേറ്റക്കാരുടെ എണ്ണം കൂട്ടുവാൻ കാനഡ ഗവണ്മെന്റ് തീരുമാനിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നത്.
സാമ്പത്തികവളർച്ചയും കുടിയേറ്റവും
2 .2 ശതമാനം തോതിൽ കഴിഞ്ഞ അഞ്ചുവർഷങ്ങളിൽ ശ്രദ്ധേയമായ വളർച്ചയാണ് കനേഡിയൻ സമ്പദ്വ്യവസ്ഥ നേടിയിരിക്കുന്നത്. എന്നാൽ വാർദ്ധക്യത്തിലേക്ക് കടക്കുന്ന കനേഡിയൻ ജനതയും കുറഞ്ഞ ജനനനിരക്കും ഈ സാമ്പത്തികവളർച്ചയെ ദോഷകരമായി ബാധിക്കുവാൻ സാധ്യതയുണ്ട്.
അടുത്ത രണ്ടു ദശാബ്ദങ്ങളിൽ പുതിയ കുടിയേറ്റക്കാരെ കാനഡ സ്വീകരിക്കുന്നില്ല എങ്കിൽ ഈ ആഭ്യന്തര ഉത്പാദനവളർച്ച കാലക്രമേണ പ്രതിവർഷം 1.3 ശതമാനം എന്ന നിരക്കിലേക്ക് കുറയും. അതെ സമയം അടുത്ത രണ്ടു ദശാബ്ദത്തിൽ കാനഡ പുതിയ കുടിയേറ്റക്കാരെ സ്വീകരിക്കുകയാണെങ്കിൽ വാർഷികവളർച്ച 1.9 എന്ന നിരക്കിൽ നിലനിർത്തുവാൻ സാധിക്കുമെന്നുമാത്രമല്ല, ശക്തമായ സാമ്പത്തികവളർച്ച നേടുവാനും സാധിക്കും.
വാർദ്ധക്യത്തിലേക്ക് കാലൂന്നിയ ജനത
ഈ അടുത്തുവന്ന റിപോർട്ടുകൾ പ്രകാരം കാനഡ കുടിയേറ്റക്കാർക്കുനേരെ വാതിലുകൾ കൊട്ടിയടക്കുകയും രാജ്യത്തെ ഒരു കുടിയേറ്റരഹിതമേഖലയാക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്ന പക്ഷം പെട്ടന്നുതന്നെ വാർദ്ധക്യം ബാധിച്ച ഒരു രാജ്യമായി കാനഡ മാറും. 2040 ആകുമ്പോഴേക്കും കാനഡ നിവാസികളിൽ 26.9 ശതമാനം പേരും 65 വയസ്സിനുമുകളിൽ പ്രായമുള്ളവരായിത്തീരും എന്നാണ് അനുമാനം. ഈ അവസ്ഥ ഒഴിവാക്കാനാവാത്ത പല പ്രത്യാഘാതങ്ങളും ഉണ്ടാക്കും. തൊഴിലാളികളുടെ എണ്ണം കുറയുകയും ഈ കുറവു നികത്തുവാൻ ഗവൺമെന്റിന് കൂടുതൽ നികുതി ചുമത്തേണ്ടി വരികയും ചെയ്യും. അങ്ങനെ ചെയ്തെങ്കിൽ മാത്രമേ സൗജന്യ ആരോഗ്യപരിരക്ഷ, മാതൃപരിരക്ഷ, മാതാപിതാക്കൾക്കുള്ള ആനുകൂല്യങ്ങൾ തുടങ്ങിയ ക്ഷേമപദ്ധതികൾ തുടരാൻ ഗവണ്മെന്റിനു സാധിക്കുകയുള്ളൂ.
2034-ഓടെ കാനഡയിലെ മരണനിരക്ക് ജനനനിരക്കിനെ മറികടക്കുമെന്നും അപ്പോൾ ജനസംഖ്യാവളർച്ചയും തൊഴിലാളിലഭ്യതയും ഉറപ്പാക്കുന്നതിൽ കുടിയേറ്റം ഒരു പ്രധാന പങ്കുവഹിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുമെന്നാണ് കണക്കാക്കപ്പെടുന്നത്. കാനഡയെ സംബന്ധിച്ചിടത്തോളം സാമ്പത്തികവളർച്ചയെ ത്വരിതപ്പെടുത്തുകയും രാജ്യം ഇപ്പോൾ അഭിമുഖീകരിക്കുന്ന പ്രശ്നങ്ങളെ നേരിടാൻ സഹായിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്ന ഒരു സുപ്രധാനഘടകമാണ് കുടിയേറ്റം. കനേഡിയൻ സമ്പദ്വ്യവസ്ഥയുടെ വളർച്ചയിൽ ഇപ്പോഴും ഒരു പ്രധാന പങ്കുവഹിക്കുവാൻ കുടിയേറ്റത്തിനുകഴിയും. ഭാഗ്യവശാൽ കനേഡിയൻ ഗവണ്മെന്റ് ഈ വസ്തുത മനസ്സിലാക്കുകയും കുടിയേറ്റക്കാരുടെ എണ്ണം വരും വർഷങ്ങളിൽ വർധിപ്പിക്കാൻ തീരുമാനിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്നു. കാനഡയിൽ പോകാൻ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്ന അർഹതയുള്ള വ്യക്തിയാണ് നിങ്ങളെങ്കിൽ നിങ്ങൾക്കും ഈ സുവർണാവസരം ഉപയോഗിക്കാം.
നിങ്ങളുടെ അർഹത സൗജന്യമായി പരിശോധിക്കുവാൻ ഞങ്ങളുടെ വിദഗ്ധ ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥരുടെ സഹായം തേടാവുന്നതാണ്
A Canadian citizen or permanent resident residing in Quebec can sponsor a close relative to come to Canada as a permanent resident through the Quebec Family Class Sponsorship program. The first step in such a sponsorship process is the Canadian citizen or permanent resident applying to be a sponsor. But in order to be eligible to apply, the sponsor and the person to be sponsored must meet certain requirements.
The prospective sponsor must submit the application for sponsorship to the Government of Canada. If you are found eligible to be a sponsor, you can submit an undertaking application along with an application from the person to be sponsored for a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) to the Quebec government. You must remember that, if you are planning to sponsor a person for permanent residence in Canada, you must be ready to support him/her financially when they arrive. You must also make sure that they will not have to seek financial assistance from the government at any point in time.
Quebec Family Class: Application process:
There are two different processes for sponsoring family members to Quebec. They are:
Sponsoring a spouse, partner or dependent child
Sponsoring other eligible relatives
Sponsoring a spouse, partner or dependent child:
In order to sponsor a spouse, partner or dependent child, you must be at least 18 years of age. You must prove that you have the financial ability to support your spouse, partner or dependent child when they become a permanent resident in Canada.
To sponsor a spouse, partner or dependent child:
You and the person to be sponsored must sign a sponsorship agreement. In the agreement, the sponsor must commit that they would provide financial support to the sponsored person, if necessary. At the same time, the sponsored person must commit that they would make every effort to support him/ herself.
You are supposed to financially support a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner for three years from the date they become a permanent resident
You will have to financially support a dependent child for 10 years or until the child turns 25
Sponsoring other eligible relatives:
For sponsoring other eligible relatives under the Quebec Family Class, you must:
Be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada
Be at least 18 years of age
Reside physically in Quebec
Meet minimum income requirements
‘Other eligible relatives’ means
parents
grandparents
brothers or sisters, nephews or nieces, granddaughters or grandsons who are orphaned, under 18 years of age and not married or in a common-law relationship
children under age 18 to be adopted in Canada
To sponsor your relative you and the person to be sponsored must sign a sponsorship agreement in which you commit that you would financially support them if necessary. The agreement will also state that the person to be sponsored will make all efforts to support themselves. However, dependent children below the age of 22 need not sign this agreement. Besides, Quebec residents must also sign an undertaking with the province- a contract to bind the sponsorship. The sponsor will have to promise that he/she would support the sponsored relative for a period of 3-10 years, from the date they become the permanent residents of Canada.
You cannot become a sponsor under Quebec Family Class if:
You have signed a sponsorship agreement in the past for another relative but failed to provide them with financial support
You have defaulted on a support order from the court, such as alimony or child support
You have received financial assistance from the Government for reasons other than disability
You were convicted of a violent criminal offence, offence against a relative or sexual offence. But factors such as the nature of the offence, how long ago it occurred or whether you were pardoned will also be taken into consideration
You have defaulted on an immigration loan
You have been declared bankrupt
You have previously sponsored relatives who later had to depend on the government for financial assistance

A common misconception or misunderstanding that has been carried by individuals from all parts of the world is “How Studying in Canada Could Help You Get a Canadian PR Visa?” They are drawn to the conclusion without any further investigation or research that a student cannot obtain a Canadian PR after studying! Loosely speaking, yes, a student cannot obtain a Canadian PR Visa right after his/her studies. But technically speaking, there are immigration programs that would help you to obtain a Canadian PR after you complete your graduation in Canada. Before getting down to the immigration programs that could help you get a Canadian PR, let’s understand how a Canadian Degree could make you stand apart!
A Canadian Degree is internationally recognized and gives you an upper hand in cases of an interview.
Studying in one of the highly reputed Canadian Universities can help you gain wide exposure and be a part of the culturally diverse environment.
A Canadian degree could considerably increase your CRS points when immigrating under the Express Entry System.
And most importantly, a Canadian Degree stands as the base foundation for you to obtain a Post-Graduate Work Permit Visa.
Obtaining a Canadian Degree will help the government understand you are a potential candidate when you apply for the immigration process.
Below mentioned are the procedures which you should follow to obtain a Canadian PR after completing your studies in Canada.
Obtain Post-Graduate Work Permit Visa:
This is the first and the foremost step you should be doing which serves as the pathway for you to obtain a Canadian Permanent Resident Visa. The Canadian Post Graduate Work Permit Visa is for students who have studied in a designated Canadian Institution and willing to stay in Canada and work after their graduation. Before you apply for a Post Graduate Work Permit Visa, here are some important things you should know:
You should be 18 years or older when you apply for a PGWP Visa.
Your study program in Canada should be at least a minimum of eight months.
The duration of your PGWP visa will be based on the duration of your course.
You should be having a valid study permit when you apply for the work permit visa.
There are certain other requirements you have to meet when you apply for a PGWP Visa. A post-graduate work permit visa can be applied in two ways. The first method is applying online the second method is applying via the paper format. Try going for the online method where the processing time is quite faster (69 days) when compared to the paper method (111 days). You can start working in Canada full-time until your decision is made on your work permit Visa.
Once you have obtained your post-graduate work permit visa (which is the first step to obtain a Canadian PR), you should be prepared for the next step.
Immigrating under the Canadian Experience Class:
The Canadian Experience Class is one of the three streams under the Canadian Experience Class which allows individuals with a minimum of one-year Canadian work experience in Canada to apply for a Canadian Permanent Resident Visa. Below mentioned is a short outline of how you should work things out under the Canadian Experience Class System:
Obtain a Canadian Work Permit:
Not to worry because you already have the Post-Graduate Work Permit Visa in your hand. You might come up with the question of whether you will be able to apply for Canadian Experience Class while you still have your PGWP visa in hand. The answer is, yes you can!
Gain a Year of Canadian Work Experience:
This is the primary requirement to immigrate under the Canadian Experience Class Program. Immigrating under the Canadian Experience Class Program requires you to have a minimum of one -year work experience under the NOC Coda O, A or B. Since you have a Canadian Degree in your hand finding a job in your core are wouldn’t be that difficult.
Create an Express Entry Profile:
Once you have ensured that you meet all the requirements criteria, create an Express Entry Profile and submit all your details with the required documentation and increase your profile and ranking under the CRS by every possible means.
Receive an Invitation to Apply:
This is where your hard work and patience pays off. Once when you receive an Invitation to Apply from the Canadian Government, you then get to apply for the Canadian Permanent Residence, thereby allowing you to finally get what you wanted to! Followed is the medical check, police clearance certificate which is done at complete ease!
You should understand that obtaining a Canadian PR Visa is not an easy process and it requires patience and perfect understanding. It is now clear that studying in Canada could actually help you gain a better standard of living and a Canadian Permanent Resident Visa provided you follow the right immigration methods & procedures.

Canada Super Visa holders are not allowed to work in the country.
The parents or grandparents wishing to come to Canada on Super Visa must have received a written invitation from their host (child or grandchild) in Canada. The invitation must include details such as the relationship to the host, duration of stay in Canada etc. It must also include a signed promise of financial support for the invitee.
The parents or grandparents must pass a medical examination.
The applicant must have purchased a valid Canadian medical insurance policy, which is valid for at least one year. It must cover healthcare, hospitalization, and repatriation, besides providing a minimum coverage of $100,000. The policy must be valid for each entry to Canada.

A Canada Visitor Visa is what you need if you want to visit the country for a short duration, be it to pursue a short-term course, complete a work assignment or visit your friends or relatives. However, one should apply for a Canada visitor visa very carefully because the application usually undergoes thorough scrutiny before the visa is issued. Even after you obtain your visa, your credentials and purpose of the visit will once again be checked once you reach the Port of Entry in Canada. This is to confirm that you are the same person who has applied for the visitor visa and you will return to your home country once the visa expires. So it is important that your visa application is error-free, authentic and convincing.
Eligibility criteria for Canada Visitor Visa:
Around five million people arrive in Canada every year on a visitor visa. One must meet certain criteria to be eligible to obtain the visitor visa.
They include:
Sufficient funds to support themselves and their family for the entire duration of the visit
No criminal record. You must not also have involved in any human rights violations and organized crime. You must also be willing to comply with Canadian laws.
An invitation letter from the sponsor if you are planning to stay with your friend or relative in Canada
Have no serious illnesses.
Also, you are not supposed to seek or undertake any job while you are in Canada on a visitor visa.
For obtaining a Canada visitor visa, you may need to attend an interview at the Canadian embassy, clear medical examination and get a police clearance certificate.
Factors that determine the success of your Canada Visitor Visa application:
When assessing your application for Canada Visitor Visa, the visa officer may take several factors into consideration in order to make sure that you will not overstay in Canada. Two of these important factors are:
Purpose of your visit:
You will have to submit a “purpose of travel” document with your application. This must be detailed and include as much as information as possible, like the dates, travel plans inside Canada and where you are going to stay. If you can attach a letter of invitation from your friend or relative in Canada, it will be good proof for the purpose of your visit. The letter may include details such as your relationship with the Canadian resident and the reason why they are inviting you to Canada. You can also mention if you are going to stay with that person during the period of your stay.
Your bonds in the home country:
While analyzing your possibility of leaving Canada before visa expiry, the officials may check if you have familial bonds in your home country that will compel you to come back. They are more likely to be convinced if you have a job in the home country or owns property there. You can prove all these with supporting documents submitted along with the application.
On the other hand, if you have family members in Canada, the officials may suspect that you may overstay. In order to avoid this, you must acknowledge your ties with them in the application and at the same time, stress that you have more reasons to return to your home country than to overstay.

Canada is one of the countries that has shown great development strides within a short span of time. Right from industries to top ranking universities, Canada has everything at the highest standards that an individual would seek in order to lead a better standard of living. In fact, it would be perfectly appropriate to mention here that Canada’s economy is the 10th largest economy in the world and is surging in the right direction every passing day.
The economic growth of a country is tightly bound to several factors which helps in the positive outcome and favored growth results. Likewise, the Canadian economic growth depends on a number of factors and one important factor that plays a predominant role is “Immigration” to which the Canadian government gives great importance.
Stats & reports say that an approximate of one in five people is an immigrant in Canada and they account to an approximate of 21.5% of the total Canadian population. The Canadian government is also taking every possible measure to welcome immigrants and has planned to increase immigration intake to almost one million within the next three years. The question as to “Why Canada is showing a keen interest on immigration?” has been much debated and searched and which is why we bring to you three solid reasons stating why Canada needs Immigrants!
Increasing Skilled Labour Shortages: –
A skilled workforce is something that could make or break the country’s economy. A country with the right amount of skilled labor will result in high economic growth eventually leading to a better standard of living for the country’s residents. As of 13th March 2018, there are an approximate of 400,000 jobs spread across Canada that needs to be filled in. With the labor shortage intensifying in every single Canadian province, the government has planned to increase the number of immigrants, who could contribute to the positive growth of the economy and meet the increasing labor shortages.
The Economic Growth & Immigration: –
The Canadian economy has witnessed a remarkable growth by 2.2 percent annually over the past five years. This positive economic growth will face a whiplash due to the aging Canadian population & low birth rate.
Without any new immigrant intake activities for the next two decades, this positive GDP growth percentage will gradually decrease to 1.3 percent annually. On the other hand, keeping the immigration intake in place for the next two decades will help the annual growth be at 1.9 percent accompanied with a strong economic growth.
The Aging Population Factor: –
Recent reports state that if the Canadian government shuts its doors towards immigrants and makes it an immigration free zone, the remaining Canadian population would age at an increasing pace. Consequently, by the year 2040, 26.9 percent of the Canadian population would be aged more than 65. This comes along with inevitable side effects. There would be a significant decrease in the Canadian workforce and in order to compensate for the shrinking labor force, the Canadian government will have to increase taxes to continue providing social services such as healthcare, maternity & parental benefits and more.,
By the year 2034, it is predicted that the number of death rates in Canada will exceed the number of births and immigration will then be playing a major role in keeping up the population & the labor force of the country. As for Canada, immigration is a key factor that helps drive the economy towards the positive direction and overcome the hurdles it is currently facing, and immigration will forever play a positive role in the growth of the Canadian economy. It is fortunate that the Canadian government has understood this and has planned to increase immigration intake for the upcoming years. If you are a potential candidate who has been looking forward to migrating to Canada, you can make use of the golden opportunity and find possible ways to migrate!
