Getting the Answers Now – there is more to immigrating to Canada than applying and qualifying for an immigrant visa. If your application is successful and you choose to immigrate, you will have to be able to live and work in Canada. Therefore, as soon as possible, you need to get information to help you to make decisions and plan for your arrival, using accurate and realistic information about the opportunities, challenges and difficulties that you might face. For example, you will need to know how to find a place to live, schools for your children and medical services. You will need an understanding of Canadian customs and culture. You will also need work-related information about how to find a job and how to get your non-Canadian employment credentials and work experience recognized by prospective employers and professional organizations. Be aware that there is no guarantee that you will find work in your preferred occupation. The more you find out, and the more prepared you are before you move, the more you will be able to fully take part in Canada’s economy and society as well as be better prepared for the challenges.
Canada International – the Government of Canada’s primary internet site for international audiences – is your gateway to finding the information that you will need to make key decisions to prepare yourself and your family for immigration and life in Canada. Go to www.canadainternational.gc.ca and select "Going to Canada" for this information.
