Immigration to Canada

[iamSarim]

I am an Indian citizen, my spouse is Pakistani, and we live in the Middle East with our baby. We are planning to move to Canada for a secure future because, due to visa restrictions and our different nationalities, we cannot realistically settle together permanently in either India or Pakistan.


We have around CAD 100,000 in savings. Our plan is for my spouse to pursue a Master's in Computer Science while I look for a job in Canada especially in AIP provinces, or we may start a small business if that is a better option.


If we live in Canada for a few years, would we have any possibility of applying for permanent residence on Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) grounds, considering our unique family situation? Or would you recommend a different immigration pathway?

You wouldn't be eligible for H&C - there is nothing unique about your situation.

Which Middle Eastern country are you currently in?

They have made obtaining a study permit in Canada much more difficult due to widespread abuse of the system and a desire to cap temporary residents.

Please also understand that Canada has a high cost of living, high taxes, low wages, high inflation, rising unemployment. Of course it is still a good place in many other respects, but my point is that you shouldn't try and come thinking you're going to be arriving into the land of milk and honey.
There is a very unrealistic view held my many of your countrymen about Canada, then they arrive and find it doesn't exist.
