Canada Temporary and Permanent Residency

Canada Temporary Residency

The temporary residence visa is an official document issued by the immigration office abroad. It is stamped in the passport to demonstrate that the admission requirements to the country as a temporary resident have been met, (either as a visitor, student or worker).

Requirements to Apply For the Temporary Residence Visa 

To apply for a temporary residence visa in Canada, certain requirements are required;

• The applicant must fill out the application form.
• Possess a valid passport.
• Possess the experience and knowledge of English or French necessary to perform the required job.

NOTE;

• The applicant must demonstrate that he will leave Canada when his permit to stay in the country expires.

Steps To Obtain a Temporary Residence Visa

You must submit your application to the responsible Canadian visa office in your area. All applicants must complete and sign their form, including those travelling as a family. If you are under the age of 18, your parent or guardian must sign your form.

1. Prepare a complete application.

Ensure that you submit every page of the form with your application package.

2. Your application will then be reviewed to ensure that it contains all the documents and requirements to be processed.
3. After reviewing the application, an officer will decide if an interview is necessary and will proceed to notify you of the time and place of the interview.

4. If your application is approved, your passport and other documents will be returned accompanied by the visa.

5. When you arrive in Canada, the officer at the port of entry will decide if you can enter Canada and for how long, then proceeds to stamp your passport with a validity of 6 months.

Special Considerations

After 1 year of work in Canada, temporary workers can qualify to apply for permanent residence without leaving the territory.

Permanent Residence in Canada

It is worth noting that Canadian permanent residence is a conditional and not completely permanent status. Unconditional status includes those who have Canadian citizenship.

Permanent residence in Canada looks like a plastic card. Its owners have the right to reside in the Canadian territory for an unlimited amount of time and have all the rights in the field of the economy and social sphere, and responsibilities similar to those that the citizens of the kingdom have.

The conditionality of the status is the possibility of its loss in certain cases.

To maintain a Canadian permanent residence, a foreigner must comply with the rules of residence in the country.

• Categories of applicants for permanent residence
• Highly qualified specialists who can be useful for the country. There is a shortage of highly qualified personnel in the kingdom in many economic areas. To meet the conditions of the migration program, documentary evidence of a high degree of qualifications and good knowledge of the language is required.
• Participants in the program of uniting with relatives.
• Foreign businessmen with extensive business experience who are ready to invest in the economic development of the country and do business in Canada.
• Students from other countries who studied in higher educational institutions in Canada.
• Participants in world humanitarian missions.
