Top 10 Tips for Successful Canadian Immigration
Canada is a land of opportunities. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world apply for Canadian Immigration under different categories. The immigration process is a time consuming, lengthy process. You need to be confident enough in order to succeed and get your Canadian immigration visa.
I have listed down ten most important tips for those who wish to apply with a great chance of success.
Here are the tips.
Tip # 10:
Have all the facts.
When you start the Canadian Immigration process, always make sure that you have all the facts at your disposal. For example, you must have all the supporting documents including your IDs (Birth certificate, existing Citizenship card, Driving License, Tax information etc.), education certificates / degrees / diplomas etc., marriage certificate (if any), Employment references, Medical history etc.
It is very important to have all the documents translated to English or French (depending upon your destination in Canada). Documents in your country native language are not accepted in immigration process.
Tip # 9:
Be prompt.
After applying for Immigration, be certain to provide all the requested information in a timely fashion. Immigration authorities expect you to deliver the necessary information (documents or other supporting material) as soon as possible, so that they may process your immigration case in a responsible time frame.
Any delay from your side will further reduce the processing of your case, which may result in longer waiting times for immigration process as expected.
Tip # 8:
Never Lie.
This is one of the most important tip. Be careful in providing information and NEVER LIE on any form provided. False or fake information may lead to the declination of your case due to misrepresentation.
So, always provide true information, which can be justified by documents and valid evidence.
Tip # 7:
Be systematic.
Always follow the defined procedure and steps involved in the immigration processing. Never try to be "over-smart" by providing unnecessary and redundant information, which is not required or asked by the authorities.
Be patient. If Immigration office requires any thing from you, provide it immediately.
Tip # 6:
Be persistent.
Doing so will bring you success eventually. Try to improve your weaknesses in terms of English, French speaking (depending on your destination in Canada). Get informed about the labour/job market in Canada.
Tip # 5:
Be respectful.
Be respectful to Immigration authorities. Your case is processed on behalf of information you provide them. At any point, if you feel you case is not handeled according to your expectation, don't blame them and always be humble in clarifing any thing you want to know.
Tip # 4:
Keep record.
Again a very important point to keep in mind is to "keep copies"of whatever you sent to Immigration office. Keep a record of every document you sent along with date. If you send documents by courier service, track it on the internet (if possible) to make sure it delivered. Always Keep a copy of receipt from courier service for record keeping purpose.
If you are comfortable with computers, keep the records in a program like MS Excel etc. so that you have all the correspondence in one place.
Tip # 3:
Verify Consultant/representative credentials.
Check consultant / representative reputation before selecting one. Use internet, most of valid consultants have a specifice representation number, which can be checked to make sure you are dealing with the right party. See representative credentials and ask for references.
AVOID, choosing a "virtual" representative. Always make sure you have physical access to him/her and his/her office.
Tip # 2:
Have an agreement with consultant.
After selecting a consultant, arrange an appointment and ask whatever you have in mind about immigration process. It is always better to make a "list of question" before meeting the representative. Clarify every thing e.g., fee, term & conditions etc. Make sure to have any agreement in place.
Tip # 1:
Be positive.
And finally, last but not least, BE POSITIVE & CONFIDENT.
This is the most valuable asset you have during the whole immigration visa processing. And be sure to have one thing in your mind
"IF THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS WAY"
Good luck.
