With high earnings and universal health care, Canada is a beacon of civilization. If you’d like to move there, here are six things that everyone should consider.

Determine Your Visa Options

There are a few different ways to immigrate to Canada. And the path you choose is largely dependent on the visa type that you get. It’s best to get some professional advice which you can find at www.policyadvisor.com. Sites like this layout the specifics for each visa type so that potential applicants can get the visa that’s best for them.

The express visa is the fastest visa and the easiest for most people. This visa type is for skilled workers and with adequate specialization and credentials, just about anybody can immigrate to Canada on an Express visa. This kind of visa requires sponsorship from your potential place of employment.

Other kinds of visas available include family sponsorships and self-employed business visas. However, these two options have higher requirements to utilize. Family sponsorship visas require the applicant to have some family in Canada already of course. And a self-employed business visa is available for people that run their businesses. However, the business must be legit and ample paperwork is required proving the financials of your business.

Pad Your Savings Account

One major consideration is the amount of savings applicants must have to be considered for immigration. Seeking long-term residency or even citizenship in Canada requires the applicants to have ample savings accrued.

A family size of one must have 13,000 Canadian dollars in the bank. That’s no small sum. However, a family of two is only required to have accumulated 16,000 Canadian dollars. And a family of three is required to have 20,000 Canadian dollars before they are considered for immigration.

Consider Your Long-Term Goal

Citizenship, short term work, or long-term residency

Streamlining the visa and application process is really important if you want things to go seamlessly. And knowing what you want is part of that process. Exactly what is it that you would like to do in Canada? Are you looking to complete a short-term contract? Or are you considering putting down your roots in Canada’s fertile soil?

Can You Handle The Weather

Weather affects us more than we’d like to admit. And not everybody is cut out for weather extremes. Canada is situated very far in the north. The southern border of Canada enjoys cooler temperate climates. However, the northern provinces consist largely of tundra.

Canada gets cold. Like really cold. And not everybody’s cut out for it. If you hate cold weather and long nights, it may not be right for you. On the other hand, if you’re a bit of a homebody and love nothing more than watching the fire or film under the blanket, in Canada is just right for you.

Taxes And Goods

Because of Canada’s remote location, the price of goods is inflated. While generally more affordable than the states, Canada suffers from a higher cost of goods.

What may be more of a concern to some people is the higher tax rate. Because Canada offers a wide variety of social services to its citizens, the tax rate is higher than in many other places. However, living in Canada long-term and obtaining residency means you will also enjoy the benefits of universal health care. And the increase in taxes is more than balanced by the lack of medical insurance premiums and out of coverage services.

University Expenses

While Canada offers many social services that other developed nations do not offer, University is not free in Canada. So if you’re looking to immigrate with children, you’ll need to consider the price of University. Wow cheaper than the United States, it’s likely to be a lot more expensive than many other countries.

On the plus side, Canadian education is highly respected. And the quality is generally higher than found in most of the world. Canadian degrees are more widely accepted than most other countries. That means a Canadian degree has more flexibility when it comes to travel or undertaking a nomadic lifestyle.

Immigrating to Canada is one of the best options if looking for a new country to call home. Canadian immigration policy is flexible and provides clear-cut and simple instructions to obtain residency and citizenship. However common despite its palatability there are always difficulties to encounter when moving to a new country. Consideration of the major issues will greatly improve the outcome of your application. With a bit of luck and open-mindedness, immigration to Canada is a dream come true.
