Canada is an economically stable country which has a lot of underutilized resources due to a small population. As such, the government, through the immigrations office, has provided simple and comprehensive procedures on how to apply for Canadian Residency especially online.

However, acquiring Canadian residency does not mean becoming a Canadian citizen. In fact, despite being allowed to study, work or reside in the country, a non permanent resident is not allowed to vote during elections, possess a Canadian passport or vie for any official position.

There are several stages involved in the application process for residency. To begin with, one is supposed to download an application form for non permanent residence in the category that affects them. This may be the business lot, skilled professionals and laborers, displaced persons, those under humanitarian aid and those under family category.

Secondly, read the specified requirements for the category you have chosen. If you fulfill the requirements, go on and download a form at the base of that page. If not, go back to the initial page and select a different class to apply for.

The next step is to download an instruction guide and go through it before proceeding to complete the process. The guide contains important information on the procedures, rules and regulations of applying for Canadian residence.

Next, go to, and download the applicant forms and fill them. These forms can include list of documents required, details of representatives, confirmation of personal information, non temporary residence and the class of business. After this, click on the next page.

The next step is to download, fill and complete visa forms when your application is complete and the request is made. Go through the list of countries to determine which visa office your application should be sent. One major precaution here is to put together all relevant documents, including results of medical exams and criminal checks before forwarding your application.

The reason why many people prefer to reside in Canada over other countries is because it is quite stable economically in relation to many other countries. Also, for permanent residents, the state gives free education to those below 18 years, security to the aged, very affordable medical care and generally there are high living standards.

When applying for permanent residence, you are required to download an application form, choose a class where they may apply for permanent stay. Professionals and skilled workers acquire permanent residence status according to their accumulated academic qualifications and other methodology such as proficiency in English or French. Before submitting the documents, one may use the self assessment test on the website to determine whether the requirements are fulfilled. By the way, a citizen may sponsor his wife or husband and the family if they wish to be permanent residents.

This process involves downloading a form and filling it by handwriting or typing the details, following the payment instructions, undertaking a language test, medical examination and a police certificate.
