How to immigrate to CANADA LEGALLY

[Tony333]

Hi guys

I am just wondering what is the best way to immigrate to Canada. Do I need to PR before entering Canada/can I go as a tourist and can work there?

How much time it will take if I go under Skilled category. I am a unqualified teacher with 3 and half year exp in UK, I got MBA, MS- Computing from UK Universty as well.

I just want to get out of UK and start my life smoothly.

If you have a British passport, you can go as a visitor and stay for 6 months, but you wouldn't be able to work. There are certain circumstances when you can get a work permit, but I think that's generally where the person has skills such that there isn't a Canadian resident or citizen who could do the job. Clergymen and sportsmen and various others don't need a work permit, but I don't suppose that helps.

I have read that it is taking 18 months to two years for skilled worker applications. The Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) site is worth a look if you haven't already done so...

Most of what you need to know about emigrating to Canada if you are prepared to look hard enough
