Unlike other countries in Canada, to practice Immigration Law and advise you on legal matters, it is necessary to have the license and authorization of the government.

Canadian Immigration Law is one of the branches of law that is continually changing. Knowing that immigration processes carry a lot of responsibility since, in most cases, they suggest a transition and life decision that encompasses many aspects. You want to have up-to-date advice based on your specific profile.

In many countries, the way of practicing law is very different from how it works. The person who exercises Canadian Immigration Law needs to have specific licenses. For example, at the provincial level, there are occasions that an additional license is also required, such as it happens with the province of Quebec and Saskatchewan.

As your immigration journey begins, it is essential to know the programs you are eligible for if your main goal is to become a permanent resident. An assessment is critical to get to know your opportunities based on your profile. Many aspects are considered, and a regulated consultant will focus on important factors to make sure your path is as smooth as possible. Immigration to another country implicates a transition in many aspects, especially if you have a family, which will also be part of the process.

Like mentioned before, Canadian immigration law is one of the most changing, and therefore its programs are being continuously updated. There are provincial programs that have several changes throughout the year, for example.

Obtaining a Canadian permanent residence is a process that will open many opportunities. As a Permanent resident, you will have many benefits such as being able to work; the Canadian health system will cover you, you may study and be eligible for grants or support from the government to do so. A Permanent Resident has all the rights as any Candian, except voting and running for public office.

Immigration programs have different targets. Each province focuses on its own needs, and the federal programs have other goals as well. Still, one thing that all programs have in common is the fact that they are focused on finding skilled workers that can be productive and push the economy of this country through their efforts.

Aspects you will be assessed on will be age, marital status, your education level, your language proficiency in at least one of the official Canadian languages and most importantly, your work experience.

Points and processing times will vary from one process to another, financial funds as well. An assessment has to consider everything in your profile to determine which program would suit you best.

The vast majority of people know only Express Entry and the programs included in this computer system, but there are many others. It is vital to keep your opportunities open and, most importantly, in a realistic setting to understand in which program your profile will be most competitive.

Things such as know if your application will be submitted online or on paper, what the consequences are, planning according to your future needs and approaching your process the best way you can is something you want to do from the start.

 A lot of people start on their own as the parameters are set on the CICC website. The problem is that there is room for interpretation, which the client usually tends to understand in its favour or does not present the documents as required, etc.

Once you start an application, you will see that there are infinite things to consider; a person who has the legal preparation for it and the experience always has an advantage.  As with any career in life, you focus on whatever your expertise is. One cannot try to build a house just by knowing the elements needed to build it. Yes, you might come to a start, but that does not mean that it will be a steady and well-constructed one. The same happens with an immigration application; you want to proceed with caution, be well informed, and make sure you will meet the requirements and present them to have a positive outcome.

For all this, having an evaluation with a regulated Canadian Immigration Advisor who has the relevant licenses and experience in the field is crucial to reach your immigration goal, whatever it may be.
