Canadian Temporary Visas

Temporary visas to Canada are a great option for people who want to come to Canada to study, work or for a vacation. If your intention is only to be in Canada for a finite amount of time, then a temporary visa is a great option for you. If you wish to stay here permanently, you might be surprised to learn that many specifically tailored Canadian Immigration programs exist for applicants with Canadian experience.

1. STUDENT VISAS:

When you study in Canada you not only have the ability to bring your family with you, but you are also able to apply for open work permits for you and your spouse. The freedom to live and work in Canada, while you study, makes Canada the ideal destination for international students. Canadim has a special program for prospective students who wish to study AND stay in Canada permanently. Called the Canadim Study to Immigrate Program, we apply to schools on your behalf and take care of the student permit so you can focus on your daily life. We also advise you on how and when to strategically submit your application to ensure your transition from international student to Canadian Permanent Resident is smooth and seamless.

3. VISITOR VISAS:

Depending on which country you are from, you might need to apply for, and be granted a visitor's visa to vacation or travel to Canada. When applying for a temporary visa one of the major requirements you must satisfy is that your stay in Canada is temporary and you will leave at the end of your visa. If you have limited travel history, criminal/security issues or have previously been refused a visitor's visa to Canada, find out how Canadim can help you safely and lawfully enter the country with a valid visa.

4. WORK PERMITS:

This category of Canada visa is the most popular and meant for skilled workers and professionals. Under this visa class you can apply for a visa if you have a job offer already or if you want to move to work in Canada. There are certain skills that are very much in demand, for example statistical analysis and data mining are sought after, and on the Canadian immigration website you can find out all the details about which jobs, skills and trades are most in demand. The more in demand your skills are, the more points you will receive towards your application, the more points you have, the more likely you are to receive your Canada visa! Working in Canada is great way to gain Canadian experience, which can help open a lot of doors for you to stay here permanently. Programs like the Canadian Experience Class and many provincial nominee categories require experience in Canada. If you are not eligible to apply under typical categories like the Federal Skilled Worker program for example, then consider the fact that working in Canada could be your ticket to Canadian Permanent Residence.

Almost every single Canadian work permit requires a Canadian job offer. Whether it is a traditional Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) work permit, a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) work permit or a Live-in Caregiver work permit, the most important and basic requirement is a Canadian job offer. Learn more about the different types of Canadian Work Permits available and check out our job search toolbar that can help you connect with Canadian employers looking to hire. There are several programs under which you can apply for Canada visa to live and work in the country:

The Federal Skilled Worker Visa -under this program you will be assessed by the Canadian Government on the following factors:

your proficiency in English and/or French, your education, your work experience, your age, Whether you have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer your adaptability (how well you are likely to settle in the country). To qualify you need to have at least one year (1,560 hours total / 30 hours per week), of continuous full-time or an equal amount in part-time, paid work in the same job within the last 10 years, and at skill type 0 (management jobs), or skill levels A (professional jobs) or B (technical jobs and skilled trades) of the 2011 National Occupational Classification (NOC). Volunteer work, unpaid internships do not qualify under this program.

The Federal Skilled Trades Visa -to qualify you need to have at least two years of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work experience) in a skilled trade within the five years before you apply. You must meet the job requirements for that skilled trade as set out in the National Occupational Classification (NOC), except for needing a certificate of qualification. You also need to have an offer of full-time employment for a total period of at least one year or a certificate of qualification in that skilled trade issued by a Canadian provincial or territorial authority. The Canadian Experience Visa – to qualify you must have at least 12 months of full-time (or an equal amount in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada in the three years before you apply. You must demonstrate that you have gained your experience in Canada with the proper authorization. You must be able to meet the required language levels needed for your job for each language ability (speaking, reading, writing and listening).

The Quebec Skilled Worker Program – under this program you don't need to have a valid job offer from a Canadian or Quebec employer. The province has its own immigration rules and criteria for selecting candidates based on Quebec's cultural uniqueness.

First, you must apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate. To be accepted you must score enough points under the Quebec Immigration selection system. A single applicant must score at least 49 points based on the criteria and an applicant with a spouse or common-law partner must score at least 57 points. Additional points are awarded to applicants with families (especially those with young children). The factors you will be assessed upon are different from those of the Federal Skilled Worker Program and set by Immigration Quebec. There is no list of eligible occupations, so if you score high enough, you will qualify for a Quebec Selection Certificate no matter what your occupation is.

The Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) – under this program Canadian provinces can select and invite immigrant with the skills they need to apply for residency. To qualify you need to demonstrate the skills, education and work experience your chosen province needs and also must express an interest in living in that particular area.

In most cases, one must apply directly to a province or territory to be considered under the PNP. However provinces can now select their preferred candidates directly through Express Entry System.

Get Your Work Visa Through Express Entry System

Canada's Express Entry system, started in 2015, is a selection process for Immigration to Canada. It is designed so that those professionals who wish to immigrate to Canada have a better opportunity to present themselves to Canadian employers. Canadian employers, on the other hand, can select skilled workers they need faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Express Entry is a system used by the Immigration to manage applications for Canada visa under the following federal immigration programs:

the Federal Skilled Worker Class
the Federal Skilled Trades Class
the Canadian Experience Class
The system is in fact a pool of global talent from which both the federal and provincial government and Canadian employers select those professionals whose skills they need most. The system has also reduced processing times, and the flow of applications is managed quicker and more efficiently.

Anyone can register in the System Applicants can register by providing the information about their skills, work experience, education, language and abilities. Those selected by the Canadian Government will be invited to apply for a Canada visa under the Federal Skilled Workers Class or the Federal Skilled Trades Class. Those selected by a Canadian employer will be offered a job and consequently will be able to apply for Permanent Residency based on the pre-arranged offer of employment.

The Express Entry database ranks all those registered in it according to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which evaluates the following factors:

Core human capital
Accompanying spouse or partner
Skill transferability
Whether it's a provincial nomination or a pre-arranged employment
The maximum score in Comprehensive Ranking System is 1,200 points. The candidates with the highest score, valid job offers or provincial nominations are invited to apply for a Canadian permanent residency. These candidates will have a maximum of 90 days to submit a complete application, and the applications will be processed within 6 months.
Canadian provinces are also be able to select and recruit candidates registered under Express Entry through their Provincial Nominee Programs.

This category is ideal for those who already have family in Canada and wish to apply for Canada visa to live in the country.

They will need to apply to be a sponsor for you. They will need to demonstrate that they can provide basic needs—such as food, clothing and shelter—for themselves and for those they sponsor, that they can support the sponsored relative financially when he or she arrives, and that they make sure that the sponsored relatives do not need to ask for financial help from the government. The first step is for a Canadian resident to apply to the Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Canada to become a sponsor for a family member. If the application is approved, the sponsored family member should then apply for permanent residence.
