Important notice affecting NEW applicants to Canada |
On September 1, 2006 the government announced a new “Simplified Application
Process” for Skilled Workers seeking to immigrate to Canada.
The new change attempts to simplify the application process in that candidates
seeking to immigrate need only to submit the Application for Permanent
Residence in Canada form, as well as the processing fee.
This will suffice to place the application in the processing queue until such
time as an immigration officer can review the file. Approximately 4 months
before the file is processed, the Visa Office will request
additional forms and supporting documentation.
This does not represent a change in the forms or documentation required nor
does it represent a change to the requirements necessary to qualify. It
represents a change as the timing of when forms and supporting documentation
are to be submitted for the purpose of eliminating the need of multiple form
submissions. For a free evaluation of your credentials please complete our
confidential free assessment questionnaire.

Settlement Funds
Funds required by independent immigrants on landing in Canada to support self and dependants for a period of 6 months.
Persons who are unable or unwilling to support themselves and those persons who
are dependant on them for care and support can be declared inadmissible.
Exceptions are available where adequate arrangements (other than social
assistance) have been made.
Proof of settlement funds is generally provided immediately prior to visa issuance.
