Work Permits for Canada
There are various ways to qualify for residency. The most popular visa is for skilled workers and is awarded through the 'point system'. Here the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) add together all the pros of an application to allocate a point number. If the individual warrants enough points they are granted residency. It helps to be educated, speak English or French, have related work experience, have arranged employment in Canada, have family in Canada, previously to have studied in Canada and have a partner who has ties to Canada.Others are sponsored through their company with a temporary visa. These are difficult to obtain without a company sponsor. Business and entrepreneurial visas are granted to people with serious business proposals and a large sources of existing capital. Soon to be married partners and spouses can qualify for immigration as well. Immigration is usually not a great hurdle for skilled workers as Canada accepts around a quarter of a million permanent residents every year, the most by a western country on a per capita basis, and actively reviews immigration restriction and laws to ease barriers.
