Who is easier to move to Canada? Portrait of a perfect candidate
Who is most likely to immigrate to Canada? At what age do you need to be? How rich do you need to be? What education to get? Answers to all questions.
In 2023, Canada will welcome 465,000 newcomers. How likely are you to become one of them? Let's try to make a profile of a perfect immigration candidate. If you meet it, you can definitely choose an immigration program for yourself and apply. And if not, I will tell you what to do, what options are available for you, and will share some life hacks on increasing your chances.
I will focus on factors such as age, marital status, work experience, occupation, education, language skills, finances, and so on, and at the end of the video, I will share what to do if you are not a perfect candidate.
Age
I'll start with age. You can apply for most programs starting at the age of 18 or 21. The upper border is 45 or 50, but often there is none at all. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean that 25-year-olds and 40-year-olds have the same chances. In many programs, candidates who are about 20 to 30 get the most points. There are also programs in which more points are given to those who are 25 to 35. In general, after 35, your chances for permanent residency will definitely decrease, so if you are a young applicant, don't delay your immigration.
Marital status
The second criterion is marital status. Sometimes we're asked which option is better: if the whole family together moves to Canada or if one family member moves and then takes the rest. If you don't want to leave your family for a long time, good news for you: it's often easier to immigrate if you have a spouse or common-law partner.
In many immigration programs, your spouse or partner can help you get more points, for example, if they take a language test or have a higher education or work experience. So I advise that your partner learn the language too, this is one of the easiest ways to score more points, and they can be decisive.
