How to Get Canadian Immigration Forms

Once you have decided to immigrate to Canada there are certain forms you will have to fill out and meet a criteria before entering the country. There are basically six classifications of immigrants and you need to determine which you will fall under. Then request your forms and apply.

• Go to the Canadian governments website located at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp and look at all the information located there. This is the immigration page and you can always go to the home page for more information in necessary.


• Look over the six classes of immigrants which are:
  
  
  1. Skilled workers and Professionals
  
  
  2. Canadian Experience Class
  
  
  3. Investors, Entrepreneurs and Self-Employed Persons
  
  
  4. Sponsoring Your Family
  
  
  5. Provincial Nominees
  
  
  6. Quebec-Selected Skilled Workers
  
  

• Click on the class that you will be applying for immigration status under. If you do not know you can click on the “contact us” button and try to find out there.


• The primary focus in the immigration process is on bringing in people who not only can work but also have the skills to begin working immediately. Of the five classes of immigrants only one applies to non-workers and that is the sponsoring your family class. That class is restricted to whom they can bring in and they still will need to pass a filtering process prior to coming into Canada. Within the sponsoring your family class there are two different processes to do that. The first would be to sponsor your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner and children. There is another process to sponsor other eligible relatives such as grandparents or parents.
