Many thousands of people all over the world dream of moving to Canada. It is a wonderful country full of opportunities. The landscape and scenery are very diverse and offer something for every taste. In addition, there are many excellent career choices to look at and schools are very highly rated.

Despite the benefits of moving to Canada potential immigrants should realize right away it is not always an easy process. There are many things the applicant must know before they submit any paperwork. In fact, there are certain conditions that may well render them unable to proceed. The government is keen to maintain the high cultural and economic standards of the country and Canadian immigration requirements are very strict.

More complex questions may need the professional help of an experienced attorney. There are many reputable legal practices that are devoted to assisting clients with their applications. One of the advantages is that they know every step of the process inside out and back to front. They are able to inform the individual when something in their background may be a problem.

One of the most difficult requirements to deal with is the criminal background check. Anyone who has every been arrested and convicted of a crime, in any country, must declare this on their application. They will also need to apply to the Canadian embassy in their own country for a certificate of criminal rehabilitation. The certificate proves that they have served their time, provided character witnesses and turned their lives around. Such a document will only be granted to those who meet all the stringent conditions.

The government of Canada also wants to know that immigrants have enough money to support themselves and their family whilst they get established. It can take quite some time to get a job in some of the rural areas. People should take this into consideration and be ready to support themselves until they get a steady job. In most cases new immigrants will not be eligible for unemployment benefits in Canada for quite some time.

The candidates should also be ready to prove that they have sufficient funds to get themselves established once they arrive in Canada. It can take some time to secure a good job and the principle applicant may need to be financially responsible for the family for anywhere between weeks and months. The applicants should be aware that they will not be eligible for benefits for some time after settling.

One of the great things about Canada is the health coverage. It is free and available for all legal residents and citizens. This is precisely why the government is so concerned that people with chronic health issues who may become a drain on the system are identified. Each case is then judged on its own individual merits and a decision is made. Even if an application is denied there is still an appeals process to try.

Only when they have successfully obtained the certificate can the applicant move ahead. This certificate is vital as it shows that the government has deemed the individual as rehabilitated and not considered a risk for committing another crime.
