Immigration

[freeislam000]

Can anyone direct me to the right avenue as for just a general immigration from Cairo to Canada? A friend of mine is thinking about Immigrating with his wife and daughter from Cairo to Canada....we have been trying to look on the cic website but really it is very unclear as to what the best route to take would be....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... ;D

He should start here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/cometocanada.asp

If he gets no options available, he can re-think his situation as well. His wife can also take the test.

If he or his wife is interested in continuing their education and has enough funds and a good IELTS score, they could do a 1-2 program at a qualifying university. Don't even think about this road unless they have the funds. It's very expensive and doesn't always work. If one of them truly is interested in becoming a student and they can afford it, this option has benefits for the whole family - but be forwarned, life in Canada will probably be rough for them for the first few years. (AKA it's expensive here - as you probably know.)

He could also try to find a job in Canada - although the government just announced new rules to restrict hiring foreign workers. (There was a big scandal with RBC, you probably heard about it.)

Hello;

My name is Abdel from Morocco, my wife is workng inside Canada and precisely in Toronto under Live in care giver and she already applied for permanent residency.
The application is submitted on July 2011.
The CIC started processing on August 11 th 2011.

Any idea about the time left for for being approved the permanent residency???

We got married inside Canada(civil marriage according the canadian law in Canada) because I went therr as visitor with visa to see her and we got married there then; we were tild it is better to wait for the PR from outside Canada hecause it is fast somehow.So do you have any idea as I heared it take 24 months at most for being approved the immigrant visa to me as her husband from outside Canada and she will get her PR from inside.

How long dpes it take at most?????

Thank you
