I'd like to move to Canada.. What are my chances?

Question

Hi I visited Canada last summer and fell in love if it (people, places, way of life)
I 'm from Barbados, being working in the financial sector for 5 years and I currently in University here.
I have family in Canada but no close actually I don't know exactly where they are but I just want to know what my chances are given the details there.

Answer 1

You probably need to contact the Canadian consulate if there is one where you are. If not go too. www.canada.gc.ca and look for immigration and they'll list what they are looking for.

You might contact some of the major banks in Canada, TD Canada Trust, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, the Royal Bank, Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia to see if they are hiring and in what fields.

Also be prepared to not necessarily locate in any of the larger metropolitain areas , they're expensive to live in. Think about smaller towns and what province or territory you want to live in.

Good luck, remember Canada is wicked cold in the winter....in most places .

Answer 2

To immigrate to Canada via family class, you must have a close family member that will sponsor you. Also, you can be sponsored by a spouse or common law partner (male or female) who is already a resident or citizen of Canada (and living there). Your sponsor would have to sign an agreement to sponsor you for a specified period of time. The sponsor should be employed and not collecting social assistance. Additionally you could possibly immigrate via skilled worker class or independent class.
Additionally, though it does not lead to permanent residency, you can go to Canada with a student visa by enrolling and becoming accepted to a designated school. You can also apply for a work visa but of course neither of these visas are a solution for permanent residency. Provincial nomination (Most Canadian provinces have programs that encourage immigrants to settle in those provinces and benefit their economies) is another option.
This Canadian Government website is the best (and only - avoid scams) website to check out all the details of immigrating to Canada;

Also, in regard to Spain;

Keep in mind that immigration is a lengthy process and requires certain fees along with applications submitted. Additionally, you will have to have an immigration physical and a background check completed (which also costs money). You don't need to hire a lawyer as it is not a difficult process if you are a some what organized person.
If you have no criminal record and no diseases, I would think that you would have a pretty good chance.

Good luck to you!
