Canada

A countryful of natural beauty !

Introduction

Canada is the second largest country in the world (second to Russia). I live in Vancouver - a city in the west end of Canada on the Pacific coast. Canada's vastness is such that, I'll need to travel over 9000 Kilometers towards east to reach the other end of Canada whereas, traveling 7500 Kilometers to the west over Pacific ocean will take me to Japan !

Map of Canada

Sixty-five percent (65%) of Canada's land is covered with snow for more than 6 months of the year and you can see only white snow wherever you look. The remaining places look differently in each season.

Interesting facts

Canada - one of the 23 countries in North America, occupies half of the continent and has 6 time zones. The time difference between east and west is about 4.5 hours making one to feel that Sun takes 4.5 hours to travel from one end to the other end of Canada. More so, when sun rises in Japan - one end of the entire world, and US and Canada are the other end in the west. (This statement would have been more relevant when the earth was believed to be flat).

Places in north Canada are close to the North Pole and are covered in ice throughout the year. In the east of Canada is Atlantic Ocean and on the other side of the ocean lies Greenland, Iceland and Europe. South of Canada is the United States of America (USA) that shares a 8891.6 Kilometers (5525 miles) long border with Canada which is the longest land border in the world. The rest of Canada is bordered by the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, covering a distance of 2,43,791 Kilo meters (151,485 miles) of coastline which is the longest in the world.

Spread across in 10 provinces (States) and 3 territories, most parts of Canada experience extreme cold weather in winter with temperature below -20°C mostly feels -40. Places like Vancouver has the best weather with an average of 12-18 and a 10-15 days long snowing in the winter in December and or early January. 31% of Canada are forests. Though Canada is the second largest country in the world, there are only 37 Million people are living here (37.74 Million in 2020) and out of this population 21% of people speak French and 11% speak other international languages. While English and French are the official languages, many official intimation notices are seen written in Mandarin (Chinese), Punjabi etc..

Cool place

Coolness is something you can feel everywhere in Canada. Not just the outside, it is embedded in every Canadian's nature as well. But from the very moment you start interacting with them, you will see the same people very warm, helpful and considerate.

Migrate to Canada

Easy way to migrate to Canada

Canada

Many people ask me about an 'easy way' to migrate to Canada. So I thought I would mention something about it here. Please note that there are no shortcuts or any specific easy way for it.. There is only one way and that is a very straight forward way and needless to say that it is an easy way if you follow the guidelines properly. People ask me whether going through an agent is better. An agent can do nothing special to promote your application. In fact the Canadian authorities suggest applying direct. It is a simple and straight forward system. You may apply directly if you qualify in the eligibility test . In my opinion, if you can read and write English properly and willing to spend some time, it is not at all difficult to do the necessary paper work yourself. It will save you a lot of money and in the process, you will gain significant amount of awareness.

Canada offers different immigration programs and each program has different application and eligibility requirements. If you find yourself eligible (use the following link to check), you can apply. I would suggest you to try the express entry in "Federal Skilled Worker" (FSW) category first unless you are planning to come to Canada for your studies on a Student Visa. The current (Oct 2020) system for FSW is as follows. If your application is approved, you can become a Permanent Resident (PR). The initial validity of PR is 5 years. A Permanent Resident has the same privileges and duties that a Canadian Citizen enjoys except for voting or standing for elections (and of course no Canadian passport) . If you reside a total of 1,095 days (3 years) in Canada within five (5) years of becoming a PR, you are eligible for applying for a citizenship.

All you need to know is where to start. I would urge any aspirant to go through the following link before consulting anyone else. Check your eligibility for an express entry in the "Federal Skilled Worker" category HERE.

I plan to write more about this as well as the other options than FSW on an exclusive space in future. Please come back later. In the meanwhile if you are looking for any specific information, please send me a mail and I will try to help you.
