Options to move and become a citizen.

[Cross2036]

My husband and I have been talking about moving to Canada for awhile and with everything that's happening here in the States is further pushing us to move.

We are no longer proud Americans and want a new place we can be proud of. After much research btw Canada, Denmark, and Sweden we have decided Canada would be best as it's closer to our family who live in the States.

That being said we have been looking at options and honestly starting to feel lost and drowning in the immigration system.

Born and raised here in the USA he has been a cook at Red Robin for awhile and I have worked in sales and in grocery stores as a cashier and neither of us have family in Canada.

Please help and direct me to our best way of becoming a canadian citizen.

You can't obtain Canadian citizenship directly. You must become permanent residents first.

To qualify as permanent residents, you must apply through one of Canada's economic immigration programs based on your level of education, age, skilled work experience. funds available to pay for your settlement in CAnada and other factors.

Based on the very limited information you've provided, I'm not sure you would qualify at this time since it sounds like your work experience might all be classified as semi-skilled. You haven't mentioned what schooling you've completed. Generally speaking, you must at least have a bachelor degree if not a Masters.

If you want to assess your chances, a good starting point is to determine how many points you would have under the Express Entry program. This is a points based program and those with the most points are selected. Right now you would need to have around 470+ points to be chosen. Details below:

If you don't have enough points under Experss Entry, then you will need to dedicate significant time to researching the PNP (provincial programs) to see if one of those might be feasible.

Good luck.
