7 Things You Might Not Know About Canada Immigration. Choice Immigration Services

When we talk about Canadian Immigration, we must admit that the country offers the most comprehensive and easy to follow immigration system. If you plan to migrate to Canada as a permanent resident, you must keep a few facts clear.

Here are few things you might not know about immigrating to Canada:

1. Your Status of a Canadian Permanent Resident Never Expires

Once you become a permanent resident of Canada and have obtained a PR status, then it will remain with you for a lifetime. The only exception is the issuance of your departure order from the Canadian Government to officially revoke your status if you haven’t met the residency obligations.

But, always remember that an expired PR card doesn’t mean losing your PR status.

2. Your Right To Appeal As Immigrant

Canada also provides you with a right to appeal as an immigrant. The country always considers the applicant’s needs and issues. In case you disagree with the decision of the Canadian Government, you can appeal. Though one should not out rightly appeal, you can place a polite request to reconsider your application.

3. Criminal Convictions associated with Permanent Residents

If you have been convicted of any crime as a permanent resident of Canada, then be ready to get deported from Canada to your home country. If you have been sentenced for less than two years, there is still hope to appeal, but the waiting time would be longer.

4. Most of the Canadian PNPs are linked to Express Entry System

At the time of launch in 2015, Express Entry was not linked to most Canadian provinces. But, with time, provinces started acknowledging this new Express Entry pathway, as it is indeed one of the fastest ways to find skilled talent. Thus, most of the employers in different provinces got associated with Express Entry. Presently, approximately 15–17 streams of different provincial nominee programs are linked to the Federal Express Entry System.

5. Biometrics is required for Express Entry

Now, if you file for a Canadian PR visa, you have to submit your biometrics and identity proof. The Government of Canada has taken this initiative to facilitate the application processing system and simplify the low-risk travelers’ entry into Canada. Visa Officers use these biometrics of each applicant to screen and analyze their identity, past criminal convictions and more.

6. Importance of Language Test Results

All the official publications, documents, and services are in both languages, i.e., English and French, so you need to meet the minimum English or French language requirement. Thus, you should be proficient in either French or English to easily communicate with people around you and adjust to the Canadian lifestyle.

Your language test results are equally valid and mandatory, just like any other piece of document, including your passport, birth certificate; Educational credentials transcripts, marriage certificate, reference letters, promotion letter, etc.

7. Documents have to be written in either of the official languages of Canada

You must ensure that all your documents are properly translated into either English or French language, as these are two officially excepted languages of Canada. Also, ensure that your application is complete and includes all the relevant information.
