Q. I want to immigrate to Canada. I’m 28 yrs old and married with one child. I’m fairly fluent in English but I don’t speak French. I have more than 10 years experience as a Student Counselor. I lack money and don’t have a sponsor in Canada. I haven’t been offered a job in Canada. What’s the cheapest and easiest way to migrate to Canada from Pakistan?



A. A TVR (Temporary Resident Visa)  will ensure that you’ll enter Canada legally. CIC (Canadian Immigration authority) will take a number of factors into account. This includes any relevant visas that you may have been issued by other countries and your record of immigration compliancy. They’ll also consider whether you’ve skills that are in shortage in Canada. If you’re able to show you’ve acquired a suitable offer of employment in your skilled occupation, this should strengthen your TRV application considerably.

Immigration Unit assists you in securing a job offer with a Labour Market approval. However, there’s an element of risk involved as CIC must first approve your  TRV  for entry into Canada. As long as your skill level, age (under 49), health and character (no criminal record) is acceptable there is a very good probability that your application will be approved.

Q. I am planning to emigrate to Australia or Canada. Why should I consider Canada or Australia? When thinking about migration, I think about equal opportunities, a job, education for my child, healthcare and a peaceful country, etc. I’m married with one child aged 6. My partner and I have attained BA Degrees in business.

A. The choice between the two countries is primarily about eligibility and preference. Both countries have similiar populations (Aus 22m; Can 30m); both are primarily English speaking countries; they’ve been relatively unaffected by the global credit crunch and continue to have robust and thriving economies. They’ve excellent universal health care, an outstanding reputation relating to their education credentials throughout the world and they enjoy relatively crime free urban and rural communities.

Generally speaking, the west coast of Canada is one of the mildest parts of the country with Vancouver experiencing the fewest days of snow. Yet, you can head to nearby mountains to find snow, skiing and snowboarding.

Australia’s northern states have a more humid and tropical climate than further south which experience a colder, wetter climate.For a free professional assessment of your circumstances, fill out our free assessment form or call 0845 2 606030.
