Canada is streamlining its temporary, work and permanent visa process with new programmes to reduce red tape and encourage more interest in the country. The Canadian government has set up a website to help applicants “answer a few questions to find out what immigration programmes they can apply for. Each immigration programme has different application and eligibility requirements. You will need about 10-15 minutes to complete the form.” Officials said each applicant may be asked a series of questions before moving to full application steps.

You may be asked questions about your:

Nationality

Age

Language ability

Family members

Education

Work experience

Income and/or net worth

Details on any job offer

“Based on your answers, we will tell you what programmes you may be eligible for, so be as accurate as you can,” said an official. “If you are eligible, we will give you a detailed list of instructions on what to do next.”
