Canada in an easy, do-it-yourself process.
"Immigrating to Canada has always been my dream. But I don't know where to begin ... My funds
were limited so I can't afford to pay the fees of the immigration agencies in my country. But I was
determined to immigrate, so I spent hundreds of hours searching the internet for information on
how the Canadian immigration process works.
After weeks and weeks in front of the computer, I finally got tired and frustrated... I was about to
give up my hope of ever living in Canada ... Until a friend mentioned to me about an ebook that she
just bought...My hopes went high again.
I checked the ebook that my friend recommended, Canada Immigration Step-by-Step.
To my surprise the price of the ebook was a real bargain. It was such a small price to pay, so I
bought it.
Then I was trilled -- in just a matter of hours after reading the ebook, I gained enough knowledge
and confidence that I can qualify as an independent immigrant. But what is most interesting to
learn is that settlement funds is not always required. "

hours in front of my PC... I am now on my way of fulfilling my dreams of living in the best country
in the world. I hope that all of you will have the same opportunity like I do after reading the ebook

Required Fees and Funds
Immigrating to Canada under the Independent Immigration Program can be expensive. You should be able to
raise enough money to be able to complete your application process and finally settle in Canada.
The fees and funds required are divided into 2 categories
One, required Fees related to processing your application
Two, required Settlement Funds
Required Fees
When you apply for a landed immigrant, you would be required to pay processing fees to the Canadian
Embassy.
Below is the list of fees that the Canadian Government requires from the applicants. All prices are in Canadian
Dollars. You may want to use our Currency Converter ( you should be connected to the internet to use this ) to
help you in determining the equivalent amount in your currency.

Processing Fees. Processing fees are collected at the time your application is submitted to the Visa Office. This
is non-refundable even if your application is refused.
Right of Landing Fee. The Right of Landing Fee (ROLF) is required for every adult aged 19 or over in your family
but, unlike the Processing Fee, is refundable if a Permanent Resident Visa is not issued or used, or if you
withdraw your application or if your application is refused.
The ROLF can be paid at any time during the application process, but must be paid before a Permanent
Resident Visa can be issued. Dont worry, if you did not pay your ROLF when you submitted your application, the
Visa Office will contact your when it is time to pay the ROLF.
Do I have to pay fees for non-accompanying family members?

No. Processing Fee and ROLF are not applicable to non-accompanying family members, or to
family members who are already permanent residents of Canada.
Are there any other fees or costs?

You will also have to pay other fees such as those related to obtaining a valid travel passport,
medical examination and a police certificate.
Required Settlement Funds
What do you mean by Settlement Funds?

The Canadian government expects the independent immigrants to be able to financially support
themselves at least during their first six months of stay in Canada.
You are required to show proof of your funds, for example bank statement or a letter from your
bank.
These funds should be in liquid form such as cash, stocks bonds, shares, treasury-bills and should
not include real estate.
How much is the required Settlement Funds?

The funds that you need to show would depend on the family size. For example, if you are a single
applicant you need to have a minimum net worth of at least Can $9,186. But if you are a married
applicant with 4 accompanying dependents, you need to show a net worth of at least Can
$19,323. See table below.
Remember, you dont have to include in your computation of settlement funds any dependent not
accompanying you to Canada.

To help you easily convert the Canadian Dollars to your currency, please click this link to our
Currency Converter (you should be connected to the internet to be able to get the up-to-date
conversion rates)
What is the basis of the required Settlement Funds?

The Canadian government uses the most current annual Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) published by
Statistics Canada established for the size of the applicant's accompanying family.
The LICO to be used for all independent immigrant's application will be that of urban areas with a
population of over 500,000. For example, according to Statistics Canada, a family unit of three
persons would need an income of at least $14,280 in order to meet the LICO. Therefore applicants
with two accompanying dependants would be required to demonstrate that they had available
funds of at least the same amount.
.What is the purpose of the settlement funds?
The settlement funds is to ensure that the applicant does not apply for financial assistance from
Social Services upon arrival in Canada.
I don't have enough money. Will my application be automatically disapproved?

You don't need settlement funds if there is a job waiting for you as the applicant or your spouse in
Canada. This has to be an arranged employment approved by HRDC.
Chapter 21
The Medical Examination
Before you are accepted for permanent status in Canada, you and your dependents, whether accompanying you or not, must undergo and pass a medical examination.
You will receive full instructions from the Visa Office when it is time for you and your dependants to undergo the medical examinations.
Do not have your medical examinations done until you are told to do so by the Visa Office. After you have receive a notice from the Visa Office, it will be your responsibility
to arrange an appointment with the DMP.
These medical examinations are intended to detect any conditions which may affect the health of the Canadian public, or which may result in excessive demands being placed
upon the Canadian health or social care system.
Passing the medical examination is required since you are applying under the Skilled Workers Migration Program. You are chosen based on your potential economic contribution
to Canada, therefore you should at least be healthy to be able to work and provide for yourself and your family.
List of DMP's around the world
The medical examination is done by Designated Medical Practitioners (DMP). To know the DMP's in your country, click here ( you must be connected to the internet
to use this list).
You will receive a letter from the Visa Office giving you instructions that you are due for medical examinations.
You should make an appointment with a doctor from the list of designated medical practitioners. Check the list for a doctor nearest to where you live.
The result of you and your dependent's the medical examination would be sent to the Visa Office.
You will receive further instructions from the Visa Office should there be a need for other examinations.
What are the examinations to be done ?

The medical examination includes a standard physical examination, blood tests, urine tests, and X-Rays. The doctor will require your dependents who are over 10
years old to have a chest X-ray. An x-ray is required for children under 10 if there is a history or clinical examination which indicates there is need or if there is
evidence of tuberculosis in the family. You will receive instructions from the doctor.
What are the things I should bring to the during the medical examinations?
You should carefully read the instructions given to you my the Visa Office. You should remember to bring your passport, any relevant medical report, your
eyeglasses, contact lenses or hearing aid if you wear any of these. Also bring the medical notice sent by the Visa Office.
All costs related to the medical examinations is your responsibility. It is very possible that you may be asked to take other medical examinations before a final
medical decision is made.
Can my application be rejected based on medical reason ?

Yes, your application may be rejected solely on medical grounds, if your and/or your dependents:
1. condition would endanger the health or safety of the Canadian population at large,
2. admission might cause excessive demands on social or health services provided by the government, or
3. condition might reasonably prevent them from supporting themselves and/or those dependent upon them.

When determining whether any person is inadmissible on medical grounds, the medical officer is obliged to consider the nature, severity or probable duration of any
health impairment from which the person is suffering as well as other factors, such as
whether there is danger of contagion;

whether unpredictable or unusual behavior may create a danger to public safety;
whether the supply of health or social services that the person may require in Canada is limited to such an extent that the use of such services may not be
available or accessible to the person or may deprive Canadian nationals of these services;
whether medical care or hospitalization is required; whether potential employability or productivity is affected, etc.
Can my own doctor do the medical examination?

No. Only the physicians on Canada's list of DMPs can do the examination.
What does serious disease means?

If your ailment would place an excessive demand on Canadians health services your application might be rejected. A person with a serious disease or psychiatric
disorder requiring ongoing care or hospitalization or individuals with developmental delay or congenital disorders who require special education or training to lead an
independent life may be inadmissible.
What do you mean by "excessive demand" on Canada's health or social services?

Excessive burden refers to the significant burden placed on Canada's health or social services due to ongoing hospitalization or medical, social or institutional care
for physical or mental illnesses, or special education or training. Individuals may be denied admittance to Canada due to the high costs of their care.
The factors considered during the medical assessment include whether or not hospitalization or medical, social or institutional care are required and whether
potential employability or productivity could be affected. For example, a person with a serious disease or psychiatric disorder requiring ongoing care or hospitalization
may be inadmissible because their requirements would place "excessive demand" on the Canadian health-care system.
Some individuals with developmental delay or congenital disorders who will require special education or training to lead an independent life may also be
inadmissible. Other conditions which might place a significant financial burden on Canadas health or social services, will also render an applicant medically
inadmissible for immigration
Why will my non-accompanying dependents be required to complete medical examinations?

Both accompanying or non-accompanying dependents are required to undergo medical examinations. If a non-accompanying dependent is unwilling to undergo a
medical examination, it may be possible to have the individual exempted.
Can my dependents undergo the medical examination in another country?

The examination is given around the world by designated medical practitioners (DMP). Regardless of the Visa Office to which the application was submitted, the
services of any such practitioner may be used. A list of designated medical practitioner will be provided to you by the Visa Office.
Can the DMP advise me regarding my application?

No. The DMP is only responsible for conducting a medical examination in accordance with Canadas immigration requirements. The designated physician cannot
provide any advice on the immigration selection system. Remember, only the Visa Office can give the final decision on whether or not your medical file is acceptable.
For how long is the medical examination valid?

It is valid for twelve (12) months from the date of the first medical examination. If your visa is not processed during this 12-month period, you will be advised by the
Visa Office to undergo another complete medical examination.
Will my application be rejected if I have a certain disease or disorder?

Each medical case is analyzed individually, taking into account your full medical history. Again, if the disease or disorder poses health risks to Canadians or places
excessive demands on the Canadian health care system, it may result in medical inadmissibility.
I am pregnant, will I still have to undergo the medical examination?

For the safety of the fetus, X-rays are not required of pregnant applicants until after delivery of the baby. After the birth, both the mother and infant will undergo
medical examinations.
Will I receive a copy of the medical report and the result of the medical examination?
All medical reports and X-rays for the Immigration Medical Examination will become the property of the Canadian Immigration Medical Authorities and cannot be
returned to the applicant. The designated medical practitioner (DMP) ***will not tell and cannot tell you*** of the results of the medical. However, he will advise you if
you have a health-related problem. Only the Visa Officer and not the DMP makes the final decision on whether or not a medical examination has been passed for
immigration purposes. The Visa Office will send you a letter should there be a problem with your medical examination.
After your application is approved, they may put you in a medical surveillance program. This information will help you understand this program more.
What is a medical surveillance?

A medical surveillance is a procedure places an immigrant with certain type of previous diseases under a program that would monitor their conditions upon arrival in
Canada. It is necessary to help these immigrants to maintain their own health, and protects their family members and people in Canada.
What are the medical conditions that require a medical surveillance ?

Immigrants will be placed under medical surveillance if the results of their immigration medical examination for entry to Canada showed that they have:
- inactive tuberculosis (TB) or
- evidence of a previous syphilis infection that has been treated prior to entering Canada.
What is the procedure for medical surveillance?

Immigrants who will require medical surveillance will receive a Medical Surveillance Undertaking Form IMM 0535 and a Medical Surveillance Handout that provide
instructions and telephone numbers for contacting public health authorities. They must report to a public health authority within 30 days after entering Canada.
If they are already living in Canada, they are required to report to a public health authority within 30 days after the medical surveillance handout.
Upon entry to Canada, Port of Entry personnel will send copies of any IMM 0535 forms to the Medical Surveillance Unit (MSU) so that provincial and territorial health
authorities are made aware of the arrival of immigrants that require medical surveillance.

Introduction
Dreaming of coming to Canada ? But dont know how ?

Got the skills required ? But dont know you where to
begin ? Here's your chance to make that dream come true!
Read this ebook as a starting point in your immigration
process.
Now, it is possible to migrate ** legally** to Canada using the very skills and
education you have without having to go to expensive immigration services and

lawyers!
How do I know that this would work? I did it myself some five years ago
And *** YES *** I did it all by myself. During that time I had no access to the Internet
or email. I relied upon whatever resources were available in bookstores during that
time. And since I was so busy working, I took me almost a year to understand the
Canadian immigration process! I wasted a year, a year where I could already be in
Canada, earning money in dollars! How I wish somebody had written a book like this
before, a book that tells you exactly what you need to know about immigration to
Canada.
The main reason why I wrote this book is for you to save lots of money and hundreds
of hours researching for a way to be able to migrate to Canada. There are so many
information that you can get for free on the Internet, but who has the time to spend
hundreds of hours in front of the computer?
What is so amazing about this ebook?
Teaches you all the information you need to maximize your chances of being
approved as a landed immigrant
Teaches you how to prepare your immigration visa package, in a simple stepby-step instruction. Sample forms are included as a guide in preparing your
own.
Teaches you what to do up to the time that you land in Canada
What this book "is not" ?
http://www.canadajobsandimmigration.com/version4/Introduction.htm (1 sur 2)2006-03-26 20:59:03
It is not our intention to render legal advice. If you think you need the help of
immigration consultants or lawyers, we even provided a special report on how
to get one.
Again, if migrating to Canada is your dream, then you should start reading this ebook
immediately! If you want to live in the best country in the world, then buying this ebook
is the best investment you can ever make in your whole life. This may be a once in a
lifetime opportunity that you have been waiting for!
But let me warn you --- Immigration to a foreign land is not for everybody. Immigration
is only for those who know how to dream .. and to those who wants to pursue that
dream with an open mind! You deserve to build a better life for you and your family
and to do that, you must take action as soon as you can.
You have to dream big dreams... big dreams that are attainable! And let me tell you
that the great Canadian dream of yours is possible! It is our prayer that we can help
you in our little way to fulfill that dream.
May the good Lord bless you in pursuit of your dream!

Chapter 1
Immigrants' Dream Land
Why is Canada called the Immigrants' Dream Land ?

Because --- it's simply the best country in the world!
For the past four years, the United Nations has rated Canada as the top country in the world to live in. Quality of life
in Canada is extremely high. Canada provides a very comfortable standard of living, social security, public
education, low crime rates, good health care, a very stable and growing economy, and a clean environment.
Canada is also a free and democratic society. The Canadian constitution, called the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,
guarantees everyone the rights to equality, mobility, freedom of speech, assembly and association.
People around the world consider Canada a generous, peaceful and compassionate nation.
Canadians are viewed as honest, friendly and polite. A 1997 survey of people in 10 countries found that the majority
placed Canada in the top ten lists of countries where they would like to live.
Because of these reasons Canada is the destination of choice for many of the worlds immigrants!

Legal Ways to Immigrate
There are several ways for a person to legally immigrate to Canada and some of these programs would be discussed briefly.
However, our book deals mainly with the Independent Immigration Program, also known as the Economic Classes- Federal Skilled Workers Program. When
you are approved for the Independent Immigration Program, you will be given a Canadian Permanent Resident Visa.
Dont try to stay or work in Canada illegally! Dont take your chances since it is not worth it in the end. Canada has very strict policies on illegal aliens
in their country
You can use the information in this ebook to be able to migrate to any of Canada's 10 provinces and 3 territories. However, Quebec has its own selection
procedure for immigrants wanting to reside in their province that is not covered in this ebook. To learn more about immigration to Quebec, click on this link.
You will need an internet connection to be able to make the link to Quebec to work correctly.

Economic Classes
Federal Skilled Workers Immigration
Independent immigrants to Canada are chosen based on their potential economic contribution to the country.
As an independent immigrant, you will be assessed based on your **skills and ability ** to contribute to the Canadian labor market.
The good new is --- only the principal applicant is assessed based on the point system, not the spouse or the dependents !
This program uses a point system (which we will discuss later) that allows you to asses your chances of being approved or not, even
before submitting your application.
Basic Checklist
to determine if you will qualify for
Independent Immigration
Before you go any further in reading this e book, we have prepared a simple questionnaire to help you find out if you can pass the
most basic immigration requirements for skilled workers. If you can answer YES to ALL requirements, then you have a very high
chance of getting approved as an independent immigrant.
Basic Requirements
Yes
No
Healthy
No criminal record
Should be able to obtain a valid travel
Passport
Between 21 49 years of age
Has a college or university diploma
One year of full-time paid work experience
occupation listed in the NOC list
Able to raise funds for Payment of
Processing Fees and required Funds to
settle in Canada
Should be able to communicate in English
or French
Brief explanation of the basic requirements. The detailed explanation of all requirements would be discussed in the next few chapters.
You and your dependents should pass a medical examination.
You dont have a criminal record since you must provide proof of good conduct from the police department.
You must be able to get a valid travel Passport
The most ideal age is between 21 and 49. You will lose some points for each year you pass 49 years of age. However, if
you have substantial work experience and/or have Canadian relatives, you may still be able to reach the minimum score
requirement (75 points). This score will be explained later in the book.
You need to be able to afford the total processing fee $1,545.00 Canadian dollar (about $1,000.US dollar)/per adult
application fee payable to Canadian Government's Immigration Authority which handles the immigration process. You
should also be able to raise the settlement funds to cover your first six months of living expenses in Canada. The Visa
Officer may or may not ask you to reveal the amount in you bank account, but it is highly recommended to be prepared with
your financial records. You don't need the required settlement funds if you have an arranged employment in Canada.
To maximize your chances of getting approved, you should have at least a four-year college or university diploma in
engineering or sciences (most natural sciences) like computer science, telecommunication, information technology
professional, economics, marketing research and consultant, translator, and others.
Your job/s in the past 10 years should be listed in the NOC Skill Type 0 or Skill Levels A or B
You should be able to communicate in English OR French, the 2 official languages of Canada.
Who can apply as an independent immigrant?

Anyone in the world outside Canada can apply for permanent residence as an independent applicant. If you are a visitor
in Canada and decide that you want to live in Canada, you will be required to apply for permanent residence from
abroad or your country of origin.
What are the advantages of going to Canada as an independent immigrant?

As soon as you arrive in Canada, you are given the status of a permanent resident. You can live, study and work in
Canada permanently. You will also enjoy the benefits from all social programs available to any Canadian citizen. You
can work with any employer or get any job.
After 3 years of permanently residing in Canada, you can now apply to become a Canadian Citizen! Note that Canada
also allows dual citizenship and does not require their citizens to renounce their other citizenships. So when you
become a Canadian citizen, you can still maintain the other citizenships that you got from other countries.
What is the difference between Canadian Permanent Visa and a USA Immigration H1B Visa?
The US immigration system selects skilled workers with a right to work in the United States. But, the US immigration
system does not easily approve permanent residency status. Many of these skilled workers on an H1B status can be
sent back to their home country if their Green Card is not approved before the 6-year limit on H1s expires. Then after
obtaining your green card, you may have to wait for years before you can get the US citizenship.
under the the Canadian Skilled Class Immigration system, skilled workers once approved, you are automatically given
the permanent residency status. This entitles you to change employers, relocate, and sponsor family members to
emigrate which is not available under the US H1B visa. Even if you lose your job, you can still remain in Canada and
enjoy most of the rights and privileges accorded to a Canadian citizen.
Do you need to have a relative in Canada to be approved as an immigrant?

No. But having a close relative living in Canada increases your score under the selection system. Your relative must be
a permanent resident or Canadian citizen aged 19 or over, and he/she must be a "close relative" (the brother, sister,
mother, father, grandparent, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew of the principal applicant). You are required to provide
documents proving the relationship.
Single Applicants
If you are thinking of getting married ... is it better to get married before you apply or
after you receive the permanent residence status?
If you would like to enter Canada with your spouse, you may get married before submitting your application to the
Consulate or during the immigration process. Your spouse will receive a Canadian immigration status automatically if
you receive it.
If you want to apply without a spouse, you will have to sponsor him or her after moving to Canada. In addition, you must
qualify to be a sponsor. You should be able to show to the Canadian Consulate how much your earned income in
Canada is.
Married Applicants
Married couples should decide as to who will be the principal applicant. Only one can be the principal applicant. The
principal applicant should be the one who would most likely get the highest points.
After deciding who the principal applicant is, the principal applicant may include the spouse and dependent children in
his application for immigration.
Who is included in my application?

If you are married, your spouse should be included as a dependent. You must also include on your application all
dependent children whether they are accompanying you to Canada or not.
Who is considered a spouse?

A spouse is defined as the person to whom the principal applicant is married. Therefore, common-law or live-in spouses
are not allowed.
Who is considered a dependent child?

Any of the following criteria must be met in order for a child to be considered as dependent to the parent when the child
is
under the age of 22 and does not have a spouse or common-law partner
a full time student and is substantially dependent on a parent for financial support since before the age of
22, or since becoming a spouse or common-law partner (if this happened before age 22);
financially dependent on a parent since before the age of 22 because of a disability.
What if I have children in a previous relationship?

You should also list these children on your application form even if they will not be accompanying you. You must use
the Additional Family Information form (IMM 5406) to provide details of all your sons and daughters, including adopted
children and stepchildren. If custody arrangements have been made, you should provide copies of the custody
documents.
What if my spouse or dependent children will not accompany me to Canada?

All of your dependents, whether they will accompany you to Canada or not, must be included in Immigrant Application
Form (IMM 0008).
In addition, each dependent 18 or over must complete his/her own application form. All of your dependents, whether
they will accompany you to Canada or not, must also pass the medical examinations and background checks.
Chapter 5
The Application Process
The Whole Application Process In 8 Simple Steps
Step One : Obtaining all the Forms
You have to get the complete Application Kit for Independents from the
Canadian Embassy. There are 2 ways on how to get it.
1. You can write the Canadian Embassy to request for a complete Application Kit. Click here to get the address of the Canadian Embassy in your country.
2. You can get these application forms right now! Just click here.
These forms will be your starting point of your application process. These forms will help you in several ways:
1.
2.
3.
4.
you will know what are the information that you need to gather to complete your application form
you will know what documents that you need to secure so that you can start in gathering them as early as possible
how to obtain these documents
you will know what are the photo requirements, medical requirements and how to obtain police certificates.
Step Two : Completing the Forms

Care should be given when filling up the application form. Do not rush. Review the application form a couple of times before you submit it. Attached any required
document. Be sure to label any attachment properly. Put yourself in the shoes of the Visa Officer.
The more organized your application form is, the better. It is a good idea to ask the suggestion of another person. Or let another person go over your application form
before you submit it.
This application form will become part of your permanent immigration record. Before sending the completed form to the embassy, I would advise
you to photocopy the entire application form itself. You can use this as a reference for your future interview just in case you have forgotten what you have
written.
Step Three : Submitting the Application Forms and Documents
Submit your application package to the Embassy. Follow the embassys instructions on how to submit your completed application form.
Step Four : The Interview
Within 6 to 8 months after submission of the application package, you will receive an Interview Notice from the Canadian embassy. Read carefully the interview
instructions. Pay attention to the date, time and place of the interview. Go to our Interview Suggestions to help you in preparing for this momentous event! Some
applicants who got very high points will no longer be called in for a selection interview. They will be granted an interview waiver instead.
Step Four : The Medical Examinations
Even before the selection interview date, you plus your dependents, might be asked to undergo a medical examination. You would be instructed to see a
Designated Immigration Doctor or DMP.
Step Six : Approval of your Application
After passing the selection interview and the medical examination, you the principal applicant plus your accompanying dependents would receive your individual
permanent resident visas. From the interview date, the approval process may take as short as 4 months to as long as 24 months or even longer. Only the
Canadian Visa and Immigration Office will know when your visa would be issued! The only factors that you can control are how fast you can comply with the
requirements, how good you are at the interview and how healthy you are based on the results of your medical exams.
Step Seven : Preparation before leaving for Canada
As soon as you received your permanent resident visa, pay close attention to all instructions written in your visa package. The most important information to
check is the expiration date of your permanent resident visa.
You should leave for Canada before the expiration date of your permanent resident visa. Once your visa has expired you have to re-apply all over again and pay
all the required fees.
There are some important things that you have to remember before your leave for Canada. We devoted one whole chapter for this to help you out.
Step Eight : Arriving in Canada
There are so many things you need to know about your new homeland and the more information you have, the easier you can adopt to the Canadian way of life.
Successfully settling in Canada is a very vital part of the immigration process and we have also devoted one whole chapter to help you adjust to your new life in
Canada.
Who is a permanent resident?

A person who is lawfully allowed to live and work in Canada as an independent immigrant but not yet granted a Canadian citizenship.
Chapter 6
The Immigration Point System
This is a very important chapter in this e book, so take your time in reading it. The better you learn about how the Canadian Independent Migration System works, the
greater your chances of getting approved. This knowledge can be very powerful, you have to use it to your advantage.
What is the Point System ?

Canada Immigration uses a point system to evaluate who among the applicants can be approved as independent immigrants of Canada.
This system is based on priorities set by Canada's immigration policy. It is used to attract and admit immigrants whom the government of Canada believes
will be able to make economic contribution to the county.
Anyone who wants to apply as an independent immigrant to Canada is assess by the point system except those who are sponsored as family class
applicants or who claim refugee status.
How the Point System Works

You have to read this very carefully.....
Independent immigrant applicants are evaluated based on 6 FACTORS.
You get points for every factor based on your qualifications. It is like a written school examinations. The higher your score is, the better your chances of
being approved as an immigrant.
This is good news for you. This only means that with the right information in your hand, you can learn to assess your chances of qualifying as an
independent immigrant.
The use of the Point System in evaluating the independent applicants is very objective. The Visa Officer reviews your application documents. The Visa
Officer then gives you points based on 6 factors.
If you score at least 67 points in these 6 factors based on the application you submitted to the Canadian Embassy, you will generally be invited to attend a
selection interview with the Visa Officer.
Again, remember this --- unless you have scored at least 67 points on these 6 factors, you may not be called in for a selection interview.
Summary of how the whole point system works:

1 You will submit your application form plus all required documents and processing fees to the Visa Office.
2
The Visa Officer will review and process your application.
Based on your application, the Visa Officer will give you points based on 6 factors
Factors
Maximum Points
Factor 1 - Education
25
Factor 2 - Official Languages
24
Factor 3 - Work Experience
21
Factor 4 - Age
10
Factor 5 - Arranged Employment
10
Factor 6 - Adaptability
10
TOTAL POINTS
100
6 You should score at least 75 points to be called in for a selection interview. If your score is very high, chances are you will no longer be called in for a
selection interview. Your next step is to pass the medical examinations.
7
You have to attend the selection interview if you are called in.
After the selection interview, you need to do is to pass the medical examinations to receive your permanent resident visa.
Is it possible to qualify as an immigrant with less than 67 points?

Yes, the Canadian Government has given the Visa Officers to use positive discretion to pass an applicant when the Visa Officer believes that the total points
awarded do not properly reflect the applicant's ability to establish in Canada .
I got more than 67points. Am I guaranteed to become an immigrant?

No. Visa Officer has the discretion to refuse an applicant with more than 75 points if the Visa Officer believes that you cannot successfully settle in Canada.
Chapter 7
Occupations in High Demand
Your occupation or work experience is a very important factor in your assessing your
application. You can get a maximum of 21 points depending on your work experience. Your
application for an immigrant visa will be assessed on your qualifications, skills and experience in the
occupation you intend to follow in Canada.
For you to qualify under the skilled worker immigration, you must meet the following minimum work
experience requirements:
You must have at least one year of paid full-time work experience.
Your occupation or work experience must be in the category of Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A
or B on the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC).
You must have had this work experience within the last 10 years before you file your
application.
To find out your work experience equivalent in Canada, you need to use the National Occupation
Classification or NOC issued by the government of Canada. Click here to go Chapter 9.
What is the National Occupation Classification (NOC)?

It a classification of various jobs as used in Canada. The complete NOC listing is
shown in Chapter 9.
What if my occupation is not on the NOC?

If your intended occupation is not on the NOC, you will not qualify for immigration.
Even if the points gained from other factors exceeds the required 75 points, you
would still not qualify for landed immigrant status.
What are the requirements for each occupation?

The standards for each occupation from the (NOC) may be different in Canada than
in your country of origin. It is very important that you fulfill the Canadian standards.
The Job Description for each occupation will be discussed in the next chapter.
What is Human Resources Canada Centre (HRDC) ?

It is a local office of Human Resources Development Canada which provides advice
on local labor market conditions as well as job opportunities.
What is arranged employment ?

It is a guaranteed job offer from Canadian employer that has been validated by a
Human Resources Canada Centre certifying that there is no qualified Canadian or
permanent resident available to fill the position.
Chapter 8
For Engineers, Technicians,
Technologists or Pharmacists Only
If your intend to work in Canada as an engineer, technician, technologist or pharmacist, it is best that you submit an initial assessment document with your application for permanent residence.
This initial assessment is conducted by regulatory authorities to prove that your occupational qualifications will be valid in Canada.
A CCPE's (Canadian Council of Professional Engineers) and CCTT (Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists) assessments will show the Visa Officer that an applicant has a potential to be employed in
Canada as a professional engineer, technician or technologist. While applicants are encouraged to obtain the CCPE or CCTT assessment, it should be understood, that the assessment is not a prerequisite to the
application process, as there are no such provisions in the Immigration Act or Immigration Regulations to make a third party assessment a requirement for immigration processing.
The Visa Officer cannot deny an application simply because of the absence of this assessment. An applicant may submit anything that he feels would improve his chances of getting approved. If the applicant prefers
to submit other proofs of occupational readiness and certification, he is allowed to do so.
Just remember, a positive assessment from these Canadian professional organizations is a guarantee that you can automatically get a license upon arrival in Canada. You may still be required to take further
studies or examinations to be certified in Canada.
The other details of the initial assessment is not covered in this ebook.
Please go to the website of the following organizations to get more information about the initial assessment requirements.

Chapter 10
How to Find a Job in Canada
Before Immigrating
You really don't need to have a Canadian job offer before you can apply for an immigrant visa.
But if you can find one, your points in the selection criteria will go higher by 15 points. You will need these extra
points especially if they are lacking somewhere in the point system.
Also, when you have a job offer or an arranged employment, you don't need to show proof of settlement funds. For some
applicants, this is good news since it is so hard to raise the settlement funds that the immigration officers are requiring.
Don't forget, the documented promise of a guaranteed job does not assure that your application will be approved. But as long as the rest
of your application is positive, your chances of getting approved as an immigrant is higher than another applicant who does not have a job
offer.
Remember, the process in looking for a guaranteed job offer can be difficult, but not impossible. The key here is to convince the
employer that you have skills that no existing Canadian resident can perform, for the salary being offered where the job is located.
How to find a Job

when you are outside Canada
Send your resume and cover letter directly to Canadian companies who hire people with your qualifications.
Send your resume and cover letter directly to Job Recruiters and other Canadian placement agencies that specialize in your type of
occupation.
Send you resume and cover letter directly to companies who are located in the northern or rural areas of Canada. These are areas
where most Canadians would not like to work, since there are not too many recreational amenities or where the weather is not as
comfortable compared to that where the major cities are.
Post your resume in Canadian job sites like http://www.monster.ca. This will expose your resume to Canadian employers looking
for applicants.
If you are working for a company with an office in Canada, maybe you can apply for an international transfer to the Canadian Office.
Do not quote a very high salary or demand outrageous benefits when applying. Making yourself as indispensable as possible will
help make the employer's part of the process be easier.
If you can afford it, the best advice we can offer you is to come to Canada on a vacation so that you can gather as much information
as you want.
If you cannot afford to come to Canada, the best advice we can give you is to buy our ebook My Canadian Job Finder. This ebook
contains a listing of more than 3,000 Canadian Job Placement Agencies and companies where you can send your resume and
cover letter. This is an invaluable tool for you to have whether you are inside or outside of Canada.
How should I prepare a cover letter and resume that is acceptable to Canadian Employers ?
Use a sample letter and resume that is acceptable by Canadian Standards. Click on the following links to help you in your job
search.

Can you give me tips on how to directly contact a Canadian Employer?
You can contact employers directly by applying through their websites. This is a very effective job search method.
At this point, the internet is your best friend. You should identify your potential Canadian employers. Do a search on
the internet of various Canadian companies who might possibly employ someone with your skills. This could be hard
since you don't even know the names of these companies. For a start, we suggest that you use a search engine like
www.altavista.ca and do a search on "canadian company". Once you found the company that interests you, go the
Careers section of their website. Be sure to check the qualifications that the employers are looking for.
Once you have identified the company, send them an email attaching your cover letter and resume. remember,
sending a cover letter and resume is not the first step. It's checking the skills that the employers are looking for.
Follow up your application.

Here's a checklist that might help you in your self-evaluation. Check the skills that you have and the skills that you still need.

How to Estimate your Points
The Manual Self Assessment Worksheet
To quickly determine how many points you can get based on your qualifications, use the self assessment worksheet below.
After studying the factors, you can manually compute your points or you can use our Free Immigration to Canada Points Calculator in Chapter 12.
Be careful in making your assessment. If you are not comfortable with your initial assessment, repeat it. Study each and every factor so that you can maximize your points.
As of September 18, 2003, the pass mark for those applying to immigrate to Canada as skilled workers (to all provinces except Quebec), has changed from 75 to 67. This change is effective immediately.
All new skilled worker applicants and those currently in the system who have not yet received a selection decision, will be assessed with a pass mark of 67.
The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada may amend the pass mark from time to time. Changes to the pass mark reflect the changes in the Canadian labour market and in the broader economy and society. The pass mark also reflects the changing demands
on the part of prospective immigrants to Canada.
Factor 1
Education Maximum 25 Points

You must have completed secondary school to get any points for education. Full-time study means at least 15 hours of instructions or work training during the academic school year. Full-time equivalent studies means he length of time that it

Chapter 14
Importance of Complete Documentation
One of the main reasons why the processing of your application can be delayed or even
denied is -- incomplete documentation. It is very important for you to realize that the
Visa Officer would initially rely on the documents that you submitted in assessing your
application. He has no idea or clue who you are, what you educational or work
background is. He is going to get to know you only through the documents that you will
submit. You should try to impress the Visa Officer through you documentation.
You should be able to convince the Visa Officer that you deserve to come to Canada as
an independent immigrant.
You have to make a good impression to the Visa Officer through your documentation.
Be very, very organized and complete.
We suggest that you consider these pointers when preparing
your application form and other required documents:
1. Print all the application forms, this is going to be your rough draft
2. Fill-up the application forms using a pencil so that you can easily
make changes.
3. Read and re-read . Dont rush. Be sure that you are satisfied with
the way you answered and filled-up all the forms.
4. Check your English, grammar and spelling. If you are not sure of
anything that you have written, refer to a dictionary or ask someone
who knows better. Remember, you will be given points based on your
proficiency in English.
5. Print a new set of application forms. You can now start filling-up
this new set of application form by copying the information in your
rough draft application form in step # 1. You should complete the
form by typing or printing clearly. Don't forget to sign your application
form. If you need more space to answer any questions, you can attach
separate pages using white paper.
6. When submitting the all the other required documents detailed in
the Checklist, be sure that these are readable. Unclear copies or
photocopies of any documents could be very annoying to anyone not
only the Visa Officer. You bet, the Visa Officer might not even look at
these "unreadable" documents. Remember, all documents should
have an English translation.
7. Comply with the photo requirements.
Always remember, it is an offense under the Immigration Act to
knowingly make a false statement or misleading statement in
support of an application for permanent residence. After you have
signed the application form, it becomes a legal document.
If any information should change before you land in Canada, you

must write a letter to the Visa Officer informing them of the exact
changes. This may include but not limited to changes like the birth of
a child, marriage, divorce, separation, death of any of the applicants.
What passports are not acceptable?

Diplomatic, official, service or public affairs passports cannot be used
when immigrating to Canada. You must have a valid regular or private
passport before you go to Canada. Not that validity of your visa may be
affected by the validity of your passport. You and your dependants must
have passports or travel documents that are valid. If any documents are
soon to expire, you should renew them even before submitting your
application.
There is nothing wrong by asking someone that you absolutely

trust to look into your application form and documentation. Get a second pair
of eyes to look into them just to be sure that everything else is
understandable, readable and organized.
Chapter 17
How to Submit Your Application
This is the shortest chapter of this book, but likewise very important. Remember, once you have submitted your application, you cannot ask for them to be returned to you. These
application documents will be a part of your permanent file with the Visa Office. So again, be very careful before you submit your application.
Review! Review! Review!

Review your application form and all documents, thoroughly.
Check every detail of the documents that you are submitting. Dont ever, ever rush !
Be sure that you have a copy or photocopy of every single document that you want to submit. You will need this for the selection interview. It is a must that you remember every
information contained in those documents. The Visa Officer during the interview might asked you questions to validate the accuracy of the information in your application.
Remember, it might take several months before you are called for the selection interview and it would be a fatal mistake if you cant remember what you have submitted.
Once again, I could not help but emphasize the importance of being organized in your documentation. Appearance matters a lot. Make a very good impression to the Visa Officer
who would be reviewing your application.
You may want to go back to Chapter 14 to double check the completeness of your documents.
Checklist before submitting your application

Where will I submit my immigration application ?

In the old immigration rule an application for a Permanent Resident Visa may be submitted to any Visa Office at which an applicant wishes.
In 2003, applicants will be required to file their application in the country of their nationality or the country in which they have had legal status for at least 1 year. for
the complete List of Canadian Visa Offices around the world, click here.
You may want to use a courier or registered mail in sending your whole application package to the Embassy to ensure that it would be properly delivered! There's nothing
more frustrating than losing your application package in the post office.
Chapter 18
What Happens After
Submitting Your Application
After submitting your application, the Visa Office will start evaluating your case based on
the documents that you have submitted. Most of the background checks will also be
done by the Visa Office.
There is really nothing you can do during this process. There is no need for you to
follow up your application. The Visa Office will always contact you first if there is a need
to. All you have to do at this point is to ---- wait! You may not believe this, but prayers do
miracles.
If there are any changes in your personal circumstance ( see Chapter 22) these need to
be reported to the Embassy.
Check the status of your application online

If you want to check the status of your application, you can connect to the
Canadian Immigration and Citizenship site, anytime, 24 hours a day, sevendays a week.
Click here to check your application status now.
How long does the application process take?

Applications filed to any Canadian Embassy are processed on a first come,
first served basis. The duration depends on the number of applications
ahead of you at the Visa Office where you apply, and any complications,
which may arise during the processing of your application.
Generally speaking, it usually takes between 6 to 24 months from the time
an immigration application is submitted to finalize the application and issue
the corresponding permanent resident visa.
Will I be subject to background and other checks?

All adults will require a background check in all countries where you and
your dependants have lived. Any related costs are the responsibility of the
applicants. Background checks include criminal, security and medical
checks.
How is the background check done?

The Visa Officer will start the check based on the information provided in
your application form.
If you or any of your dependants have a criminal conviction, your

application will probably be refused. Generally, persons with a criminal
conviction are not admitted into Canada. Under exceptional circumstances,
however, such persons may request special consideration. Occasionally
such persons are admitted on the grounds that they have been
rehabilitated. You must wait five years after the end of your sentence to
apply for approval of rehabilitation.
Chapter 19
Interview Preparation and Tips
Most independent immigrant applicants are required to attend a
selection interview with a Canadian Visa Officer. In the immigration interview, the opinion of the
Visa Officer who interviews you is very important. Before the selection interview is over, the Visa Officer will let you know the results of your application and what to
do next.
Remember this --- the Visa Officer possesses wide discretionary authority. If in his or her judgment, you would make an ideal candidate for entry to Canada,
the Visa Officer may use this authority to admit you even if you would not otherwise qualify.
Likewise, if the Visa Officer feel that there are reasons that may prevent you from becoming successfully established in Canada, he or she can use the same
authority to refuse your application.
Once the Visa Officer has determined that you are qualified for immigration to Canada, the selection interview becomes an opportunity for the Visa Officer to
provide you with information concerning your upcoming relocation. This may include information about living and/or working conditions in the area where you intend
to reside.
What is the purpose of the selection interview ?

There are 3 reasons why the selection interview is being made:
One, to verify the information presented in your application.
Two, to determine your personal suitability and that of your dependents.
Three, to advise you and your family of what to do next once you have been approved for entry to Canada.
The Visa Officer will determine the accuracy of all facts presented in your application. During the interview, your supporting documents may be
examined, your language proficiency may be assessed, and you may be asked to elaborate on the information presented in your written immigration
application.
The Visa Officer may also ask about your family, spouse and/or dependents or your health, financial situation or past problems with the law.
The Visa Officer may also want to evaluate your language proficiency and skills. The selection interview may be the only way that the Visa Officer
can make an accurate determination of those skills.
The issue of personal suitability, seemingly vague in its terminology, does have some degree of foundation in the selection guidelines, which are used
by Visa Officers.
There are several specific qualities and attributes, such as motivation and resourcefulness, which are sought in applicants, and these are assumed to
reflect the individual's ability to successfully settle in Canada.
When is the selection interview held?

Depending on how many applications are before yours at the visa office, it might take as little as two months to get an interview, or it might take as
long as 30 months
Where is the selection interview being made?

The Canadian Visa Office will send you a letter informing you of the place of the interview.
What is a security interview?

In a small percentage of applications, an interview is held to evaluate security issues such as espionage, subversion or terrorism. These interviews
are usually held after a selection interview, and may also be held in cases where a selection interview is waived.
What is an interview waiver?

You may be granted an Interview Waiver (that means that you dont need to be interviewed and your next step is the medical examination). An
Interview Waiver may be given depending on your qualifications, the quality of the supporting documentation, and the overall credibility of the
applicant.
If there is a security issue involved with the applicant, an interview waiving is not possible.
When an interview waiver is granted, there is also a possibility that this waiver maybe revoked and that the applicant may be called for an interview.
Or an applicant maybe initially be invited for an interview, then an interview waiver maybe given to the applicant. This all depends on the Visa Officer's
processing your documents. The Visa Office does not give reasons for their decisions.
Is there anything I can do to obtain an interview waiver?

Applications, which are complete in every detail, increase the chances of an interview waiver. However, interview waivers are granted at the discretion
of the Visa Officers. You cannot apply specifically for a waiver. Even if an interview is waived, you may still be called to an interview, generally for
quality assurance purposes
In some instances, that waivers maybe granted to applicants employed by large multinational companies, wherein verification of the details of
employment can be easily done. This is the sign that work experience or education in these respected companies or corporations is important,
because that removes a large part of the doubt surrounding the applicant's language skills, and the credibility of documentation submitted.
Do my spouse and children need to come with me to the interview?

Children under the age of 18 years are not required to attend the interview. Both the principal applicant, his/her spouse and dependants over the age
of 18 years should attend the interview together. This may not be possible all the time due to several reasons on your part. But you need to to make
preparation for this since the the Visa Officer may insist on interviewing all adults included in the application.
Can my spouse and I have our interviews in two different locations?

This will depend on the instructions to be given by the Visa Officer. If the Visa Officer wants you and your spouse and older children (18 years of age,
or older) to attend the interview, all of you need to be interviewed together at the same office, on the same day.
How long is the interview?

Depending on the Visa Officer and how you respond to the questions, the interview may last anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. That is the reason why
you should prepare for the interview since you only have such a short time to prove to the Visa Office that you are worthy to be become a Permanent
Resident of Canada.
Do I have to be fluent in English or French during the interview?

English and French are the 2 official languages of Canada. The interview would be conducted in either French or English depending on your choice. If
you are not fluent in English or French, we highly suggest that you take lessons and practice in communicating in either of these languages. This can
make a real big difference in your interview.
What if I don't speak English or French, but I was called in for an interview?
You will be required to bring your own interpreter with you during your interview. The person you bring must be a professional interpreter and must be
independent from you. Your interpreter cannot be your lawyer, immigration consultant or any other person you have retained to represent or advise
you concerning this application and they may not be an employee of that person. If did bring a professional interpreter, and the Visa Officer
determines that your language skill is not sufficient to carry out the interview, you will not be interviewed. Your interview will be rescheduled for a later
date.
What are the documents I need to bring to the interview?

Checklist
Your passport and all of your dependent's passports.
Original documents of your Proof of Funds like bank passbook, bank statements or Certification of Deposits with a
currency conversion into Canadian dollars.
You do not have to obtain any original documents you have already submitted with your application form. Simply
bring photocopies of the original documents you have provided. Depending on your situation, this will include your
marriage certificate, divorce papers or death certificate of spouse, children's birth certificates, adoption papers.
Be sure you carry copies of your educational records like diploma, transcript of records, training certificates or
professional certification.
Also bring any police clearances or any background security certificates
It might help a lot if you bring all the correspondence ( letters and notices ) that you had received from the Canadian
Embassy.
What will I wear during the selection interview?

There is no dress code that is required. We highly suggest that you dressed appropriately and professionally as if you are going for a job interview. It
is highly advisable (but not a requirement) that you wear a North America style of clothes since this would reflect your ability to ability to adapt to the
life in Canada.

place like a family relative or friends. Tell the Visa Officer if this is the case. If you don't know anybody, be sure you have done your research as to

Changes that Need to be Reported
after you have filed your application
Changes are bound to happen in your life while waiting for your landed immigrant
visa.
Here's what you have do if these things do happen.
Changes in Your Mailing Address

The Visa Office will be communicating with you by letter, it is important
that you inform the Visa Office of your current mailing address. It is
your responsibility to notify them of your new address. Use the form "
Change of Address Fax" provided in the kit.
Changes in Your Marital Status or Family Composition

If any of your answers to the questions on the Immigrant Application
Form, or the Additional Family Information Form, change at any time
before you immigrate to Canada you must immediately notify the Visa
Section.
Matters of marriage, death, divorce, and child birth must be brought to
the immediate attention of the Visa Officer. Failure to notify the Visa
Office of changes to your marital status or family composition will
delay the processing of your application for permanent residence and
could even result to your application being denied.
Once you inform the Visa Officer of changes to marital status and/or
family composition, you will be sent a letter with additional instructions
on what to do next.
I recently got married, how do I add my spouse to my application?

You must immediately inform the Visa Office of your marriage in
writing. If your spouse is not a Canadian citizen or Permanent
Resident, he/she will be required to complete an application form, pay
the processing fee, be medically examined, and provide all required
documents. Your spouse must have a valid passport.
I wasn't married when I applied for immigration but I'm married now. Can I
land in Canada alone and sponsor my spouse once I am in Canada?
No, you will not be allowed to enter Canada. Your spouse must meet
the criteria for immigration before you can become a landed
immigrant.
My wife has recently given birth, do I need to add this child to our
application? Do I need to get a passport for the baby?
If your baby was born in Canada, he/she is a Canadian Citizen and
does not need to be added to your application. You must send a copy
of the baby's birth certificate to the Visa Office.
If your baby was born outside of Canada, he/she must be added to
the application. You must submit a copy of the baby's birth certificate,
the processing fee (currently $100.00 Canadian) and the baby must be
medically examined. You must also obtain a passport for the baby.
I didn't have any children when I applied for immigration but my wife has
given birth. Can I land in Canada and sponsor my baby later?
No, you will not be allowed to enter Canada. Your baby must be
medically examined before you can become a landed immigrant. Your
child will be required to have her own passport.
Chapter 23
What to do when my Application is Denied
Not everybody who applies for Canadian immigration is going to be approved as an
immigrant. As sad it may seem, not everybody is successful in their application. We

wrote this chapter not to scare you or discourage you but to give you some tips on what
to do when your application is denied.
Why was my immigration application denied?

The most common reasons for an application to be denied are failure to
meet these requirements of Canada immigration law:
if you are unable to prove to the visa officer that you meet the
immigration criteria based on the point system;
if you and/or your dependents fail to meet the prescribed medical
standards ;
if you and/or your dependents do not pass criminal or security
checks.
If your application is refused, the Visa Officer will advise you in writing by
of the reasons for the refusal.
Can I re-apply again after my application is denied ?

You are free to apply again for immigration to Canada anytime. The fact
that they have previously refused you will not affect your subsequent
application. However, you must show that you have overcome the reasons
why they refused your first application.
Should I apply immediately ?

This is entirely up to you and your financial resources. Our suggestion is -do not rush. You need to be careful the second time you file your
application. Again, you should be able to prove that you have overcome
the reasons why you are denied the first time.
What will I do next if my application is denied ?

If you are denied due to health problems, wait until you are healthy enough
to pass the medical examinations. Have yourself check by another doctor
or your own doctor, not the Designated Medical Practitioner, before
attempting to file again your application.
If you are single and you did not meet the application criteria based on the
point system, you have to study carefully how you can maximize your
points. Some have reported success by changing the intended occupation
that gives you higher score . Some acquired new skills or continue further
studies.
If you are married and your spouse did not meet the application criteria
based on the point system, you might want to consider changing the
principal applicant to yourself. Be careful in doing this. Be sure that your
score based on the point system would be enough to get an approval.
Chapter 24
What to do when my application is approved!
Congratulations!
The most important news you have been waiting for has now finally arrived in your mailbox. Your application for permanent residence in Canada has
been approved. Your long wait is over! Your Canadian Permanent Resident Visa is now in your hands.
What is a Permanent Resident Visa?

A Permanent Resident Visa is a document which allows a person to lawfully reside and work in any province across Canada. Permanent
Resident visa gives a holder most rights, privileges and social benefits accorded to Canadian citizens. A person who is a Canadian
Permanent Resident may apply for Canadian Citizenship after 3 years.
What should I do after I receive my visa(s)?

Your visa has a validity date on it, which is usually one year from the date you or your dependents started the immigration medical exam
process. The time given is usually enough (about 8-10 months) for you to settle everything and make the necessary arrangements in your
country before landing in Canada.
You and your dependents must travel to Canada and present your immigration visas at a Canadian port of entry before the expiration
date. The Canadian port of entry office is normally located in the airport in Canada where you land.
You must also report any births, deaths, adoptions, marriages, separations, divorces, serious illnesses or criminal proceedings involving
immigrating family members that take place after your visas have been issued and before you depart for Canada.
Failure to do so may render your visas invalid. The visa office will instruct you what steps to take in regard to these new developments.
When you arrive in Canada, you must present your visa to a customs/immigration officer who will complete landing formalities. You and
your dependents who accompanied you to Canada will become landed immigrants and accorded the status of permanent residents of
Canada at that time.
How soon should I land in Canada after receiving the visa?

You must land in Canada before your permanent resident visa expires, which is normally one year after your medical exam. Otherwise
you'll have to apply all over again
What if my dependents or I are unable to travel to Canada before our visas expire?
It is permissible that your dependents may choose not to accompany you when you land in Canada but to follow later before their visas
expire. Your dependents cannot, however, travel to Canada before you do, to present their visas.
Again, remember that the validity of a visa cannot be extended. If your visa expires before you present it at a Canadian port of entry, it is
void. If you are still interested in immigrating to Canada, you must return your unused visas to the visa office and make a new application.
Chapter 25
Preparation Before Going to Canada
Preparing for the big move to Canada can be really tiring, but very exciting ! Before you leave for Canada, you might want to consider the following tips that we have compiled for
you. There are so many things that you would like to take along with you. It's really up to you to decide what to bring and what not to bring. But there are some stuff that you could
not automatically carry with yourself in your new homeland.
Checklist of what you need to do before leaving for Canada and what to bring to Canada.
What I need to do
Buy airplane tickets for you and your dependents. If you are transiting in another country, be sure you have the required transit visa.
Know the luggage limit of your airlines. If you are over the limit, you may have to ship your personal belongings that you cannot bring along
when you travel. Remember, it is often cheaper to use surface mail from your local post than to pay extra charges to the airline companies.
Prepare a list of "Goods to Bring" or those items which you are planning to bring along with you in your airplane flight to Canada. Include
Model Numbers and Serial Numbers of products if they have such numbers. It is also a good idea to take photographs of any valuable
possessions you are bringing.
Prepare a list of "Goods to Follow" or those items which you wish to take to Canada in the future. Include Model Numbers and Serial
Numbers of products if they have such numbers. It is also a good idea to take photographs of any valuable possessions.
Do you dental work and purchase your medication or vitamins. The provincial health plans in Canada don't normally cover the costs of
these so it might be cheaper if you have them done in your country.
If you don't want to hand carry all your settlement funds, you can open a bank account remotely with a Canadian bank to transfer your
settlement fund.
There are strict regulations as to what possessions you can bring with you to Canada. If you are not sure, inquire at the Canadian
diplomatic mission or write to:
Canada Customs and Revenue Agency
Customs, Excise and Taxation Information Services
2265 St. Laurent Boulevard Ottawa
Ontario K1G 4K3
In Canada, toll-free: 1 800 461-9999
Outside Canada: (506) 636-5064
There are strict laws about the types of plants, food and pets you can bring to Canada. Before you leave your country, inquire at the
Canadian diplomatic mission or write to:
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Animal Health Agriculture Canada
59 Camelot Drive Nepean, Ontario K1A 0Y9
(613) 225-2342 (ext. 4629)
Bring car registration, if you are bringing your car. Cars must meet Canadian safety and pollution control standards. Many cars are not
allowed into the country. If you are not sure, contact :
Transport Canada Place de Ville
Tower C 330 Sparks Street Ottawa
Ontario K1A 0N5 (613) 990-2309
If you don't have a place to stay upon landing in Canada such as friends and relatives, be sure to book an apartment or hotel for at least
one month. It would be best if the apartment has a phone and other basic furniture. Most apartments in Canada have a fridge and stove so
you don't have to worry about this.
What I need to bring

A valid passport and the Permanent Resident Visa documents will be required from you and your dependents when landing in Canada
It is also a good idea to have photocopies of you Permanent Resident Visa kept in your hand-carry luggage. Don't ever keep them in your
check-in luggage which might get lost in your flight.
Proof of settlements funds may also be requested by the customs or immigration officer upon landing at the Canadian airport. It is good to
have these documents handy just in case.
Birth Certificate/s of you and your dependents with English translation.

Marriage Certificate with English translation.
Adoption, separation or divorce papers
Letters from employers and a list of your qualifications and job experience
School records, diplomas, degrees
Trade or professional certificates
Immunization, vaccination, dental and other health records, if there's any
Driver's license as well as International Driver's Permit and accident record from your insurance company
If you are immigrating to Ontario, British Columbia or New Brunswick, you should acquire private health care coverage for the initial waiting

gloves. If you come from a warm climate, be ready to buy winter clothes in Canada soon after arriving. The coldest months are October,

After this tragic event, the Canadian government wanted to protect the
safety of all Canadians and implement other security measures for
those people crossing the USA-Canada borders. The introduction of
the PR Card would eliminate some if not all of the problems of
identifying who are the legal Permanent residents from the illegal ones.
Chapter 28
Housing in Canada
When you first arrive in Canada, you will probably be living in temporary accommodation. You will soon be looking for a permanent place to live. The cost of setting up your first
home may be more expensive than you expected.
Finding a place to live can take several weeks. Think of the search as three separate tasks:
1. Deciding how much you can afford to pay, how many rooms you need and where you want to live.
2. Finding the apartment or house you want.
3. Completing the legal contract to rent or buy.
Will finding a place to live be the same everywhere in Canada?

Not entirely. Prices are different from city to city, and each province has slightly different laws on renting and buying. However, the process is the same everywhere
in Canada.
How much do houses and apartments cost?

Prices depend on the location, age and condition of the apartment or house, and the local housing market. Some cities and provinces control how much landlords
can charge for rent.
When you are budgeting for your housing costs, you may have to allow as much as 35 to 50 per cent of your income. This should include the costs for such things as
heating, utilities and laundry. The table below gives a good idea of average costs for a particular year. Many houses are bought and sold in the spring and early
summer, and prices might be higher then, although there will probably be a greater choice.

How do you find an apartment to rent?

Your main sources of information are the classified advertisements in local newspapers and what you hear from other people. Some agencies which advertise
apartments may charge a fee. This does not mean they will find a home for you, but they may show you more of what is available. Be careful before you sign any
type of contract.
Once you decide on a price range, size, and preferred location, you should be able to identify several possible apartments. Normally, you telephone for an
appointment to see the apartments. Look for convenient parking, nearby bus routes, shopping, schools, and laundry facilities (washing machines) in or near the
building.
Ask the landlord or the person renting the apartment what facilities are included in the rent, such as parking, whether or not you can keep a pet and how many
people can live in the apartment. The landlord will hold the apartment for you after you pay a deposit (which will be applied to the rent) and you both sign an offer to
rent the apartment.
What can you expect in a rented apartment?

Every apartment should have:
its own door, which can be locked, to a common hallway or to the street;
a kitchen with a sink and hot and cold water, countertop, shelves or cupboards and appliances such as a stove and a refrigerator;
closets and storage space;
a private bathroom with a sink, toilet and bath or shower.
Your apartment will be equipped with several essential utilities, including:
a heating system;
light and electricity;
hot and cold water;
telephone lines; and
sewage pipes.
You should find out if the costs of electricity, gas, heat and water are included in the rent, or whether you will be charged directly by the utility companies.
Property taxes are paid by the landlord. You must pay the costs of telephone and cable television connection and the monthly bills for those services.
Furnished apartments should include beds, chairs, tables, floor covering, light fixtures, curtains, basic kitchen equipment in addition to utilities, a stove and a
refrigerator.
What legal arrangements are involved in renting?

In many cities there is a standard rental agreement, or lease, that both you and your landlord sign. This is a printed document of one or two pages which specifies
the number of rooms, utilities and options such as parking or storage space.
Read it carefully before signing. Be sure you understand which utilities you will pay, which will be paid by the landlord and what penalty you may have to pay if you
leave before the lease is over. An immigrant-serving agency will be able to help you understand exactly what is expected of you.
The lease will most likely be for at least one year, and you will have to make an initial payment, possibly the first and last month's rent. You may also be asked for a
damage deposit, which will be returned to you when you leave if you have not caused any damage to the property beyond normal use. For this reason it is important
to note any damage and tell your landlord before you move in.
How do you rent a house?

Renting a house is the same process as renting an apartment. There may be more appliances, such as a clothes washer and dryer. The tenant usually pays for
utilities and heat.
How do you buy a house?

Your main sources of information are friends and neighbours, real estate agents and classified advertisements in the local newspapers. A real estate agent is a
member of a licensed real estate firm, who can show you several different homes and describe what various areas are like to live in.
What can you expect when you buy a house?

You can expect that the central heating, hot water heater and all built-in furniture such as cupboards will be included in the price. You may be able to buy the
curtains, stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer from the previous owner of the house.
What legal arrangements are involved in buying a house?

Property law is complicated. You should hire a lawyer (or in the Province of Quebec, a notary). When you have decided on which house you wish to buy, you usually
make a legal written offer, often with the condition that the house passes a professional inspection of its condition and structure.
The offer normally includes a deposit. Usually, the buyer and the seller will bargain on price, in writing. If the seller accepts an offer, the offer becomes an agreement
to purchase. You will probably want to arrange financing (a mortgage) with a bank or trust company. The down payment is usually at least 10 per cent of the total
price, although first-time home buyers may be eligible for a five per cent downpayment. Mortgages can be paid over a period as long as 25 years, with interest rates
fixed for terms varying from one to five years.
Are there other types of accommodation?
Yes. In addition to furnished and unfurnished apartments, furnished bedrooms to rent, and houses for rent or for sale, there are also condominiums.
* Excerpts from the Canadian citizenship and immigration site
Chapter 29
Working in Canada
Before you are allowed to work in Canada, you will need to obtain a Social
Insurance Number (SIN). As soon as you get the chance after arriving in
Canada, you should get your SIN.
What is a Social insurance Number (SIN)?

A Social Insurance Number (SIN) is an identification number given
to each person for the purposes of income tax, Employment
Insurance, old age pension, etc. Most newcomers receive an
application form for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) when they
first arrive in Canada.
If you did not get one, you can apply at any Human Resource
Centre of Canada (HRCC). You will need to show your birth
certificate, Canada Immigration visa (Record of Landing) and
passport. There is a small administrative fee. Forms are also
available at Canada Post offices and through many immigrantserving agencies.
What is the job-market like in Canada?

The Canadian labor market has been quite strong in the past few
years.
Does Permanent Residence status in Canada permit me to enter/work in

the USA?
Permanent resident status in Canada does not affect US
immigration requirements for eligibility to legal employment. The
North American Free Trade Agreement, which applies to citizens
of Canada, does facilitate US employment in certain cases. You
still need to obtain the proper permits to be able to work in the
USA.
Can I practice another occupation other than my "Intended Occupation"?
Yes, and furthermore, you might find out that you cannot
immediately practice your intended occupation once you arrive in
Canada, since some professions require licensing, and you would
need to re-qualify in the province of your residence to practice
your profession.
Do professionals need registration and licensing to work in Canada?

People who want to work in regulated occupations need to obtain
a license from a provincial regulatory body. Applicants intending to
work in one of these occupations may need to prove they hold
sufficient credentials to meet professional licensing requirements.
Licensing requirements often include education from a recognized
school, Canadian work experience and completion of the exams.
Fees for exams can be costly and are the responsibility of the
applicant. Final assessment by the provincial authority can only be
made once you are in Canada with permanent resident status. We
will provide you with assistance in contacting the appropriate
professional association in Canada to have your qualifications
preliminary assessed.
What is the office dress code in Canada?

The dress code in the office can range from casual to formal office
clothes depending on the culture of the company. Some
companies allow their employees to come in T-shirts and blue
jeans whereas other companies wanted their employees to dress
in a more formal western style fashion like white long sleeves with
tie for men then skirt and blouses for ladies. If you are not sure,
dress formally during your first few days at work, then observe
how your officemates are dressed. If in doubt, ask your boss or the
Human Resources Department in your office.

The non-working holidays in Canada may vary, depending on
what province you are residing. Below is the official public holidays

Chapter 30
The Canadian Citizenship
If you decide to make Canada your home, you may want to become a Canadian citizen. Since 1977, Canadian law allows you to hold as many citizenships you want, but you may lose the citizenship of your
country of origin.
There are advantages to becoming a Canadian citizen. The rights, protections, and freedoms of a Canadian citizen are outlined in Canada's Constitution. As a citizen, you can vote and run for political office in
all federal and provincial elections. You have the right to hold a Canadian passport and to re-enter Canada no matter how long you remain out of the country. If you were born outside Canada, but at least one
of your parents was a Canadian citizen, you have the right to claim Canadian citizenship. Get legal advice.
What are some of the advantages of obtaining Canadian Citizenship?

Unlike permanent residents, Canadian citizens are allowed to be absent from Canada for extended periods of time without any risk of losing their status. Except in rare cases, Canadian citizens cannot be
deported from Canada. Canadian citizens also receive Canadian passports and are entitled to vote in federal elections.
Do I have to apply for Canadian Citizenship as soon as I am eligible?
No. There is no obligation to apply for Canadian Citizenship at any time.
To become a Canadian citizen,

you must meet the following requirements:
You must be at least 18 years old to apply for citizenship. If your child is under 18, you may apply on his or her behalf when you apply for your own citizenship. Your child must sign the application if he or shi is
14 years of age or older. You may also wait until after you have received your Canadian citizenship before applying on behalf of your child.
You must live in Canada for at least three of the four years immediately before the date of your application. During this time, each day you were in Canada before your received permanent resident status
counts only half a day. Time spent outside the country attending school or on business might be counted towards the three-year requirement.
You must be able to speak French or English well enough to be understood in the community.
You must be familiar with Canada's political system, geography, and history. You must also know about your rights and responsibilities as a Canadian citizen. Citizenship courts provide free publications with
the information you need, and some settlement agencies offer courses that prepare you for the citizenship interview.
If you are 14 years of age or older, you must take and sign the Oath of Citizenship. In doing so, you swear allegiance to the Queen of Canada and her successors. You also swear that you will observe the
laws of Canada and fulfill your duties as a Canadian citizen.
You cannot become a Canadian citizen if you are under a deportation order; if you are on probation or parole or if you are in prison; if within the past three years you have been convicted of a criminal offence
for which you could receive a sentence of six months or more.
The Minister of Immigration has the power to waive citizenship requirements and to grant citizenship on compassionate grounds. Procedure Apply for citizenship at the nearest Citizenship Court. Look in the
blue pages of your telephone book to find the Citizenship Court nearest you. Look under Citizenship in the Government of Canada listings. Citizenship Court officers travel to some areas of Canada that don't
have Citizenship Courts.
If there is no Citizenship Court in your area, contact the following office: Registrar of Canadian Citizenship Department of Secretary of State Sydney, Nova Scotia B1P 6V6 You can fill out the application form
yourself or get help from a Citizenship Court officer. After completing the application, you must affirm or swear that the statements you made are true. You can do this at the Citizenship Court or before anyone
qualified to take oaths. Notary publics, commissioners for oaths, justices of the peace, and most lawyers can take oaths.
You must also attach the correct fee and any required documents to your application. Here are some of the other documents you need: - a birth certificate or passport to prove the date and place of your birth; two photographs taken within the last year; (these must be of a certain size and show a full front view of your head and shoulders; you must sign these photographs when you apply;) and - two pieces of
identification; for example a driver's license and social insurance card. Interview or Hearing
The next step is your interview or hearing with the "citizenship judge." The judge looks over your application and speaks with you in French or English, whichever you prefer. At the hearing, be prepared to
answer simple questions about Canada's history and geography, its people and industry, and its form of government. You must also know: - the rights and privileges of citizenship; - the responsibilities of
citizenship; and - the enumerating and voting procedures in elections.
All the information you need is contained in the booklets you receive with your application. If you need help, ask the Citizenship Court about free citizenship classes. The Citizenship Court will contact you about
the date of your hearing or interview. If you have moved since you completed the application, or if you will be away from home for a long time, write to the Court and explain this.
If the Court cannot reach you, it may assume that you are no longer applying for citizenship. If this happens, you will have to apply again. If you are unable to attend the interview with the citizenship judge,
explain this to the Court before the date of the interview and make a new appointment. You cannot become a Canadian citizen if you do not go to the interview.
The Ceremony If your application for citizenship is approved, the Citizenship Court will send you a letter telling you the day, time, and place of the ceremony. Make sure the Court has your current address and
knows whether you can attend the ceremony on that date. At the ceremony, you take the "Oath of Citizenship." You must affirm that you are telling the truth or swear the Oath on the book of your faith or
religion. You may bring your own copy of your holy book. You receive your citizenship certificate at the ceremony.
This certificate shows that you area a Canadian citizen. When you become a Canadian citizen, you usually keep your citizenship for the rest of your life. However, you may be permitted to give up your
Canadian citizenship under certain conditions.

Live-In Caregiver Program
Bonus 1
The Live-In Caregiver Program
The Live-in Caregiver Program provides professional caregivers for employment in Canada. Caregivers are individuals who are qualified to care
independently for children, the elderly or people who have disabilities.
There are three main requirements you will have to meet to qualify under the Live-in Caregiver Program:
Successful completion of the equivalent of a Canadian high school education. This requirement will help to ensure that participants who apply
for permanent residence after two years will be able to succeed in the general labor market. Studies indicate that the majority of new jobs in
Canada require at least a high school education.
Six months of full-time training or 12 months of experience in paid employment in a field or occupation related to the job you are seeking as a
live-in caregiver. You may have gained your training or experience in early childhood education, geriatric care, pediatric nursing or first aid, to
name just a few areas. You may have completed your training as part of your formal education. In order to meet the criteria for experience, you
must have completed one year of full-time paid employment, including at least six months of continuous employment with one employer, in that
field or occupation. This experience must have been obtained within the three years immediately prior to the day on which you submit an
application for an employment authorization to a Visa Officer.
Ability to speak read and understand either English or French. You must be able to function independently in a home setting. For example, you
must be able to contact emergency services if required and to understand labels on medication. You will be unsupervised for most of the day
and may be put in a position of having to communicate with someone outside the home. A good knowledge of English or French will also
enable you to read and understand for yourself what your rights and obligations are.
Live-in Criteria
An important requirement of the Program is that employees must live in the employer's home. The Live-in Caregiver Program exists only because
there is a shortage of Canadians to fill the need for live-in care work. There is no shortage of Canadian workers available for care giving positions
where there is no live-in requirement.
Fees
http://www.canadajobsandimmigration.com/version4/bonus1.htm (1 sur 4)2006-03-26 21:00:24
You must pay a fee for the processing of your application when you submit it. You can contact the Canadian consulate, embassy or high commission
nearest you to find out the amount of the fee. The amount is revised from time to time to reflect the cost involved in processing applications. Since the
fee only covers the cost of processing the application, you will not get your money back if the visa office refuses your application. Therefore, we
suggest that you review the program requirements carefully before making an application.
There will also be costs for a medical examination, passport and travel. You are responsible for these costs as well as the processing fee mentioned
above unless your employer offers to pay them for you.
The Application Procedure
Your employer will submit a request to hire you at a Human Resources Centre (HRC) in Canada. The HRC will ensure that no Canadians, permanent
residents or other temporary workers already in Canada are qualified and available to take the employer's offer of employment. Once the offer of
employment has been validated by the HRC and sent to the visa office in your country, an official from the visa office will contact you to determine
whether you are eligible to come to Canada as a live-in caregiver.
You will be asked for your diplomas, school certificates or transcripts listing the courses you have taken. Be honest about your education, training and
experience because you could be disqualified from the program if you are not. Your marital status and the number of children you have will not affect
the outcome of your application; you must be honest in providing this information.
If the visa office approves your application, you will be given instructions for medical tests. When our officials receive proof that your medical results
are satisfactory and that you have met all other requirements, you will be issued an employment authorization. An employment authorization is not a
travel document. You must also get a passport (and a visitor visa, if required). The requirement for a visitor visa will depend on the country you are
coming from.
Because of the existence of an agreement between the federal government and the province of Quebec, there are differences in the way the Program
operates for caregivers who will be working in Quebec. For more information, refer to the booklet published by the government of Quebec entitled
Working as a Live-in Caregiver in Quebec: A guide for foreign workers and their employers.
The Employment Authorization
An employment authorization from a Canadian visa office will allow you to work in Canada as a live-in caregiver. The employment authorization is
usually valid for one year. Make sure you renew your employment authorization before it expires. It is now possible to do this by mail through the
Canada Immigration Centre. You will need a letter from your employer stating that your job as a live-in caregiver is being offered for another year.
Include this letter in your application to renew your employment authorization. Remember that the document authorizes you to work only for the
employer named on the employment authorization. However, this does not mean you cannot change employers for personal or other reasons. If that
is the case, you must apply for and have received a new employment authorization before you go to work for the new employer. Both you and your
employer should be aware that you are free to change employers while in Canada. Immigration Canada will not deport you for looking for another
place to work.
Involvement in any illegal activity could result in the cancellation of your permission to work in Canada. You cannot, for example, work for any
employer except the employer named on your employment authorization. Furthermore, you cannot accept employment except as a live-in caregiver
nor can you work for a new employer, even for a "trial period," until you have a new employment authorization.
Applying for Permanent Residence in Canada
You need to complete at least two years of employment as a live-in caregiver to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Please note that the twoyear requirement does not include any extended time away from Canada. For example, if you go away on vacation for three months, that time will not
be included as part of the two years of employment. In some countries, you may need to reapply for a visitor visa to return to Canada. If you leave
Canada for more than one year or if your employment authorization has expired, you will have to reapply to the overseas visa office to return to
Canada under the Live-in Caregiver Program. Program participants who wish to leave the Program and return permanently to their home country are
free to do so at any time. However, adequate notice should be given to the employer.
Your application for permanent resident status could be cancelled if you misrepresented your education, training or experience to the Visa Officer
when you first applied under the Program.
If you apply to stay in Canada, you must complete an application for permanent resident status. At that time, you must prove you worked as a full-time
live-in caregiver for two years. To do this, you can use a statement of earnings or T4 slips as well as any other documentation you believe would help
to prove your work record. If you changed jobs since your arrival, you should have a record of employment from each of your former employers. You
will not have an ROE for your present job. If you have used your ROEs to apply for employment insurance, HRC staff can help you get copies if you
need them.
Your application for permanent residence in Canada will not be assessed on the basis of your financial situation, skills upgrading in Canada, volunteer
work, marital status or the number of dependants you may have back home. However, you could be found to be ineligible for permanent residence if
you, your spouse or any of your dependent children have a criminal record or a serious medical problem.
Live-in caregivers who work in Quebec will also be assessed on additional criteria, including knowledge of French, by provincial authorities. For further
information, see the booklet published by the Quebec government, entitled Working as a Live-in Caregiver in Quebec: A guide for foreign workers and
their employers.
Open Employment
Once you have received a favorable assessment on your application for permanent resident status, you may apply for an open employment
authorization. This will allow you to take any job you wish until you are granted permanent resident status. You will not receive your permanent
resident status immediately. Normally, there are many people applying for permanent residence in Canada at any given time, and you must wait your
turn.
Family Members
All your dependants can be included in your application for permanent residence and they can obtain their permanent resident status at the same time
as you. Your dependants abroad will be processed for permanent residence at the visa office in their country of residence, and they will not be issued
their immigrant visas until you have received yours, provided that the entire family passes medical and criminal screening and all other requirements
are met. All your dependants must pass medical and background checks even if they are not applying to join you in Canada right away. You cannot
be granted permanent resident status until all your dependants have passed their medical and background checks

The Provincial Nominee Program
What is a Provincial Nominee Program?
Citizenship and Immigration Canada has entered into bilateral agreements with interested provinces to permit the admission of a limited number of provincial
nominees. The program recognizes that provincial governments are best positioned to identify their unique economic needs that can be effectively addressed
by immigration. of provincial authorities in the selection of immigrants destined to their province. To date agreements have been signed with Newfoundland,
New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.
The province of Quebec cooperates with the Government of Canada to select its own immigrants.
The applicants are subject to Quebec's selection criteria, in addition to Federal medical and security clearance requirements. They must also pay an
additional fee for processing by a Quebec Delegation. Applicants who qualify under the Federal selection criteria may not necessarily satisfy Quebec's
selection requirements, and vice versa.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada retains the authority to make the final decision on an independent application using existing selection and admissibility
criteria, including security, criminal, and medical factors for candidates who hold Provincial Nominee Certificates.
Is it easier to meet the Provincial Nominee Program selection criteria?
Generally province recruits immigrants who have specialized professional skills and high likelihood to settle successfully in the province. If you possess those
skills the province is looking for, it may be for your advantage to apply under PNP, since a total required number of points a provincial nominee has to achieve
to be accepted is lower than under Federal Selection criteria. However, there are no guarantees. Obtaining minimum pass mark score, or any other score,
does not automatically qualify an applicant to be a Provincial Nominee. There are a number of other factors to be considered by a Province before exercising
its prerogative in nominating any candidate as a Provincial Nominee
PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAMS
The Provincial Nominee Program allows each province to nominate or select immigrants who will contribute to the particular labor
and economic needs of that province. Each province is allowed to establish its own selection criterions and procedures to choose
immigrants according to their ability to integrate and successfully settle in that province.
Similar to the Independent Immigration Program, applicants are selected on the basis of a point system designed to target individuals who will for fill the labor
and economic needs of that province. Points are attributed on various grounds, such as education, work experience, age, etc. Each province sets the number
of points to be attributed to each category.

Applicants must intend to reside in the province in which they apply. Once an applicant has been nominated under the program, the province of choice will
issue the applicant a Provincial Nominee Certificate.
The applicant is then required to apply for Canadian Permanent Residency at the nearest Canadian Embassy, High Commission, or Case Processing Centre.
Once must keep in mind that Citizenship and Immigration Canada has the final decision making authority on admissibility. The applicant must be admissible
on the basis of security, criminal, and medical grounds.
At present the following provinces are participating in this program:
Newfoundland and Labrador
New Brunswick
Manitoba
Saskatchewan
British Columbia
The Province of Quebec selects its own Independent Immigrants. Similar to the Provincial Nominee Program, if you wish to live in Quebec, you are required
to obtain a Certificat de selection du Quebec (CSQ). Applications must be submitted to the nearest Quebec Immigration Office in which you currently reside.
THE NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR
The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program was created through an agreement between the Government of
Canada and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. This immigration program aims at fulfilling specific economic and
industrial development goals within the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The program identifies and recruits immigrants who have specialized skills, which will be of benefit to the Province in further developing our economy. The
program will allow the Province to recruit persons with occupational and entrepreneurial skills.
The cost to apply for this program is $1,000 (CDN). Payment must be made by a bank money order or certified cheque payable to the Newfoundland
Exchequer Account. This is a non-refundable government fee and its payment does not guaranteed the approval of your application.
Procedure
The process begins with the Province identifying and nominating persons it wishes to immigrate here, and who in our estimation will contribute to our
industrial and economic development. Currently there are two programs:
1. 1. Business Program; and
2. Skilled Workers.
A Applicants are assessed on a point scoring system. Certain number of points is awarded to factors such as: age, education, intended occupation, work
experience, language, adaptability whether or not you have guaranteed employment in Newfoundland and Labrador. You must score at least 40 points in
order to qualify. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador will do checks to determine the applicant's track record as a businessperson and
accreditation as a skilled worker - consistent with their chosen field for Newfoundland and Labrador. These background and other checks will also include
such of the nominees' family members who may be eligible for immigration.
If your application is successful, a Nomination Certificate will be issued to the visa office where the nominee makes an application to immigrate to Canada.
This certificate identifies the person as a nominee of the Province, and will be used at a Canadian visa office overseas to process the applicant. The Province
will then notify to apply for Canadian permanent residency at the nearest Canadian visa office. The Government of Canada is responsible for processing
these visa requests in addition to reviewing the regular requirements for health, security background checks, etc. .
The nominee must apply for their permanent resident visa within six (6) months of the date appearing on the Nominee Certificate.
NEW BRUNSWICK
The Canada/New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Agreement was signed in February 1999. The Agreement allows the Province an
active role in selecting immigrants to fulfill specific economic needs.
Under the Provincial Nominee Program, the Province seeks immigrants with jobs skills and other attributes that will come to New Brunswick to fill labor market
shortages or support employment or business expansion.
To qualify under the Provincial Nominee Program, an applicant must either have:
1. a guaranteed job offer in his/her intended occupation; or

2. a business plan that will create employment for the applicant him/herself, at a minimum.
Other Selection Factors
Also, the applicant must demonstrate a range of experience and adaptability in New Brunswick.

adaptability,
skill shortage (for job offer applicants only), and
business experience (for business plan applicants only).
These factors are awarded points. In order to qualify an applicant must have a minimum of 50 points to be considered under the New Brunswick Provincial
Nominee Program.
Manitoba
Situated at the heart of North America, Manitoba offers convenient and virtually tariff-free access to the United States and Mexico through a north-south trade
corridor. The province is an established transportation and distribution hub with developed industries in transportation equipment, food processing, agricultural
equipment, aerospace and more. The central time zone location and well-developed telecommunications infrastructure make Manitoba ideal for any business
requiring regular, reliable contact with customers and suppliers from around the world.
As Manitoba's economy grows, there has been an increasing demand for skilled workers to support the Province's garment, construction, farming and
aerospace industries.
In June 1998, the Federal government of Canada and the Province of Manitoba signed the Provincial Nominee Agreement. This
agreement allows Manitoba to recruit and nominate prospective immigrants who have the skills to fill specific Manitoba labor
market demands, and contribute to Manitoba's economic growth.
Since the year 2000, the Province of Manitoba has implemented a Business Immigration Program to attract entrepreneurs who
will expand Manitoba's manufacturing and service industries.
SASKATCHEWAN
The Canada/Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee Agreement was signed on March 16, 1998. The Agreement allows Saskatchewan
officials to actively recruit and nominate individuals who have the potential to be of significant economic and industrial benefit to
the province.
To qualify under the Provincial Nominee Program, an applicant must either:

1.
2.
be a Skilled Worker on the designated skill shortages list, or

be a Business Person whose business proposal fall under the key sectors, and whose business will have an identifiable
impact on the provincial economy through diversification, value added processing and job or wealth creation.
Key Sectors and Industries

Specific emphasis on recruitment will be placed on identified key sectors and industries in order to expand the provincial economy. This expansion will be
achieved either through the recruitment of Skilled Workers or Business Persons will to establish businesses within these sectors.
The key sectors and industries are:
Agri-value and Biotechnology
Forestry
Energy
Information Technology and Telecommunications
Tourism
Mining/Minerals
Fabricated Metal Manufacturing
Value Added Processing
Manufacturing
Selection Factors
All applicants must demonstrate a range of experience and adaptability in Saskatchewan.
This is measured under seven factors:
1. occupation,

All applicants must obtain 15 points on the Occupational Factor, and a minimum of 60 points.
Procedure
All applications under the Provincial Nominee Program must be submitted to the Province of Saskatchewan for review and acceptance. If approved a
nomination certificate will be provided directly to Citizenship and Immigration Canada by the Province, and a letter of nomination will be forwarded to the
applicant.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada will only consider Provincial Nominee Program applicants after receiving the nomination certificate from the Province.
Applicants will then be required to submit additional information and documentation as required by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
BRITISH COLUMBIA
The government of British Columbia is currently developing a Provincial Nominee Program. The Provincial Nominee Program
(PNP) supports the recruitment of foreign workers with highly specialized skills, to meet critical skill shortages faced by British
Columbia employers. The program will also support the expedited immigration of foreign residents with strong business
experience and skills, and a solid business project already identified in BC.
The PNP program enables B.C. to nominate 1000 people plus their families between now and May, 2003. The program is available to all sectors of the
economy that experience critical skill shortages. However, the initial implementation of PNP will be staged into selected sectors, where skill shortages are
already well established. The first stage of implementation will begin with foreign nurses in the early New Year. Based on employer demand, it is expected the
next stage of implementation will include sectors like information technology. The PNP program may also apply on a case-by-case basis in specific situations
where an employer can clearly demonstrate that domestic recruitment efforts have been unsuccessful.
The PNP program is employer driven and nominees are required to have arranged employment prior to progressing with the application process. Employers
must clearly demonstrate that domestic recruitment efforts have been unsuccessful and that a legitimate skill shortage exists before offering employment to a
nominee.

How to choose lawyers,

immigration consultants or any representative
Who May Represent You

A representative may be a lawyer, a consultant or any other person, including a friend,
whom you hire for a fee or ask to help you do any of the following at no charge:
(1) apply for permanent residence or a temporary stay in Canada; (2) submit a refugee
claim; (3) appear in front of an adjudicator; (4) appeal a decision; (5) apply for
citizenship; or (6) request information on matters dealing with the Immigration Act or
the Citizenship Act.
What you should know before seeking the services of someone to help
with your application
Do you need a representative?
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) does not require you to have a
representative. We have tried to make our application kits as simple as possible
so that you can complete them yourself. You can get additional information on
how to complete an application from the CIC Web site or from a CIC Call
Centre.
If you decide to use the services of a representative, you are free to do so.
CIC treats all applicants equally and does not provide preferential service to
applicants with representatives.
http://www.canadajobsandimmigration.com/version4/who_may_represent.htm (1 sur 5)2006-03-26 21:00:32
Who can act as a representative?
Anyone can act as a representative.

Only lawyers licensed to practise in Canada can represent you at the Federal
Court.
CIC can provide information on your file only to people who are either
(1) Canadian citizens, (2) permanent residents of Canada or (3) physically
present in Canada. Representatives who live outside Canada and are neither
Canadian citizens nor permanent residents might be unable to help you.
Volunteer and non-governmental organizations that deal with immigrants may
provide free services.
General points
CIC cannot recommend representatives or vouch for their honesty or skills. It is

your responsibility to make sure that the representative you choose is ethical
and competent to perform the services required. You should not be afraid to
ask the representative (whether a lawyer or a consultant) for references or for
other proof that he or she has the necessary skills.
Beware of representatives who claim that you will get a visa, obtain citizenship
or benefit from special treatment from the Canadian government by using their
services. CIC is not associated with any representatives.
Be cautious when dealing with foreign-based representatives. Such companies
or individuals may be outside the reach of Canadian law, and there may be no
protection or remedy available in Canada to a dissatisfied client.
Lawyers
Lawyers practising in Canada are regulated by provincial regulatory bodies.

Only a lawyer who is a member in good standing of a provincial or territorial law
society may practise law. The law societies regulate lawyers and can
investigate complaints against members, impose discipline and provide
financial compensation to clients who are victims of negligence or misconduct.
If you live in Canada and you want to hire a lawyer, call the law society of the
province or territory in which you live for the names of lawyers. In many cases,
you can consult a lawyer free of charge for half an hour before deciding if you
want to hire him or her. However, in some cases, a fee may be charged for the
consultation.
Immigration consultants
Immigration consultants are not regulated by either the federal or provincial

governments of Canada.
Find out if the consultant (whether he or she is in Canada or overseas) belongs

to a professional association in Canada and ask about his or her experience
with immigration or citizenship matters.
Call the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to find out if the consultant has a
satisfactory rating. Business people who fail to respond to letters of complaint
sent to the BBB receive an unsatisfactory rating.
Dealing with representatives
CIC requires your written authorization in order to release information to your

representative.
You may give your own mailing address or the mailing address of your
representative as a point of contact for CIC. If you choose to give your
representative's address, all correspondence from CIC, including notices for
interviews, requests for information, medical forms and visas, will be sent to the
representative.
If you change representatives or stop using their services, you must cancel your
authorization in writing to CIC or CIC will continue dealing with them. If you hire
a new representative, you will have to provide a new authorization to CIC.
Make sure that the representative who helps you with your application is willing
to be identified as your representative.
Information given to CIC must be truthful
Submitting false or misleading information to CIC can lead to the refusal of your
application, the cancellation of your visa, the revocation of your citizenship, your
deportation from Canada, and criminal charges being laid against you.
You are responsible for any documents you submit to CIC or that your
representative submits on your behalf.
Where to go for help if things go wrong

CIC cannot help you if you have a dispute with your representative as it is a private
matter between the two of you. However, you may write to the CIC office dealing with
your case or to the following address to inform CIC of the situation:
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Social Policy and Programs
Selection Branch
Jean Edmonds Tower North, 7th Floor
300 Slater Street
Ottawa, Ontario KIA 1L1
Note: You should file a complaint with the proper authorities as soon as possible if you
encounter serious difficulties with your representative as limitation periods may apply.
If your representative is a lawyer practising in Canada
Address your complaint to the law society of the province or territory where your
lawyer practises. Law societies impose a code of conduct on their members to
try to protect the public interest. They have rules for disciplining lawyers and
compensating clients. You may be able to obtain financial compensation from
the law society's insurance fund.
If your representative is a consultant practising in Canada
If your consultant is a member of a professional association in Canada, file a

complaint with that association.
If your consultant is not a member of any association, you might ask the
consumer protection office in your province or territory for advice. Some
associations might offer to contact the consultant to seek a solution.
You can report your problem to the Better Business Bureau in the province or
territory where your representative works. The BBB might contact your
representative to try to resolve the issue for you.
If your representative is either a lawyer or an immigration consultant practising

in Canada
If you believe your representative has committed an offense in the course of

representing you, you should go to the local police or to the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police.
If you are in Canada and you wish to recover money you paid for services you
did not get, you can file a lawsuit in small claims court. You do not need a
lawyer to do so, but you will have to pay a small fee.
Legal Aid services are available throughout Canada for people who cannot
afford to pay for legal assistance. Contact them to see if you qualify for
assistance.
If your representative's place of business is abroad
If your representative is not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of

Canada, you should present your complaint to the appropriate authorities
overseas. The Canadian government cannot get involved in the dispute.

Engineering InternationalEducation Assessment Program

- Overview
The Engineering International-Education Assessment Program (EIEAP)

assesses the educational qualifications of individuals who were educated and
trained outside of Canada, by comparing their education to a Canadian
engineering education. The EIEAP is the only assessment service in Canada
specializing exclusively in the assessment of engineering education credentials.
It does not evaluate work experience.
The EIEAP assessment provides applicants with valuable information on how
their foreign education compares to a Canadian engineering education. This is
important as the definition of engineering varies from one country to the next.
Work and training that is called Engineering with the job title Engineer in some
countries may fall into a different job category in Canada. The EIEAP
assessment allows applicants to make an informed choice about immigrating to
Canada as skilled workers or in the family class.
Any individual with a background in engineering, either through education or
work experience, may request an assessment.
The EIEAP provides:
an assessment of the engineering education credentials of people

trained outside of Canada,
verification of educational documents,
a statement comparing the applicant's education to a Canadian
engineering education,
information about the engineering profession in Canada, how to get an
engineering licence, and tips on getting work in Canada, and
toll-free access to the EIEAP "Help Desk" where applicants can request
more information and referrals after their arrival in Canada.
The assessment is easy to understand and provides useful information for

employers, universities and other officials. Applicants also receive practical
information about working as an engineer in Canada. For more information on
the EIEAP, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions or contact CCPE
at evaluation@ccpe.ca.
CCPE's extensive experience in the evaluation of foreign engineering
http://www.settlement.org/sys/link_redirect.asp?doc_id=1000709 (1 sur 3)2006-03-26 21:11:02
Home | Back | Report Dead Link
credentials and engineering education makes us uniquely qualified to offer this

program and to deliver fair and accurate education assessments. The EIEAP
program benefits from the expertise CCPE developed over the past 23 years.
During that time, more than 125,000 people from virtually every country in the
world obtained an evaluation of their engineering credentials from CCPE for
immigration purposes. CCPE has accredited Canadian undergraduate
engineering programs since 1965. Through its Canadian Engineering
Accreditation Board, CCPE sets Canada's engineering education standards. As
the federation of Canada's engineering licensing bodies, it also coordinates the
development of national guidelines for Canada's engineering profession,
including those concerning foreign credentials.
The Engineering International-Education Assessment Program is not part of the
registration process to become a licensed professional engineer in Canada.
With two notable exceptions, you must be a landed immigrant or permanent
Canadian resident before you can apply to the engineering licensing body in
the province or territory where you wish to work to be registered and licensed
as a professional engineer. The two exceptions are for immigrants intending to
settle in Ontario or Quebec. If you plan to settle in Ontario, you may begin the
licensing process with Professional Engineers Ontario from your country of
origin, or if you plan to settle in Quebec, with the Ordre des ingnieurs du
Qubec. Information on the steps you must take to register with an engineering
licensing body and obtain an engineering license are available on this site in
Adobe Acrobat PDF format, in Arabic, Classical Chinese, Simplified Chinese,
English (also Microsoft Word), Farsi, French (also Microsoft Word), Portuguese,
Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian.

Adobe Acrobat Reader:
Before being accepted for registration and licensure, individuals normally are
required to write and pass a series of examinations set by the licensing body in
the province or territory where they intend to reside. They must also
demonstrate sufficient communication skills in at least one of Canada's two
official languages, and have three or four years of acceptable engineering work
experience, including one year of experience in a Canadian environment.
It is against the law for anyone to call themselves an engineer or practise
engineering in Canada unless they are registered members of an engineering
licensing body. You can, however, work in the engineering field under the direct
supervision of a licensed engineer.
To be eligible for registration and licensure as a professional engineer in
Canada, applicants must:
Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada. Immigrants can

only apply for registration as a professional engineer in Canada after
they have moved to Canada and have obtained permanent resident
status.
Have three or four years of engineering work experience, depending
upon the engineering licensing body. A minimum of 12 months
experience must be in a Canadian environment to ensure familiarity with
Canadian codes and standards.
Be proficient in English (French in Quebec, English or French in
New Brunswick).
Be of good character and reputation.
Possess the required academic qualifications and pass the compulsory
examinations.
Depending on the jurisdiction in which registration and licensure are
being sought, applicants will be deemed to have met the academic
qualifications required to be accepted for registration as full members of
an engineering licensing body if they:
Hold an undergraduate degree in engineering from an

educational institution recognized by the Canadian Engineering
Qualifications Board of CCPE (in some provinces, a syllabus of
course descriptions may be requested), and pass a series of
technical examinations and the Professional Practice
Examination set by the engineering licensing body in the province
or territory where they are applying for registration.
Hold an undergraduate degree from an engineering program
accredited by an engineering body that has signed a mutual
recognition agreement with CCPE, and pass the Professional
Practice Examination set by the engineering licensing body in the
province or territory where they are applying for registration.
Hold an undergraduate degree from an engineering program
accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of
CCPE, and pass the Professional Practice Examination set by
the engineering licensing body in the province or territory where
they are applying for registration.

Foreign Qualification Assessment

News on the Engineering Technologists Mobility Forum (ETMF)
The assessment is a good way to find information about the technician or technologist
profession in Canada and to obtain an evaluation of your qualifications in relation to the
likelihood of acceptance as a member in any provincial association or society.
Certification is voluntary in Canada. Provincial technology associations undertake
certification according to national standards.
Once certified as a full member of a provincial association, technologists are known either as
Certified Engineering Technologists, Applied Science Technologists, or Registered
Engineering Technologists, depending upon the province in which they receive certification,
and are entitled to use the designations "C.E.T", "A.Sc.T", or "R.E.T." respectively after their
names. Technicians are known as Certified Technicians and are entitled to use the
designation C. Tech after their names. In Canada, it is illegal to use the CET, AScT, RET, or
C.Tech designations, without being certified as a full member of an association.
If you want to become certified following your arrival in Canada, you must apply for
certification with a provincial association. You will be required to pay a registration fee and
successfully complete any required examinations. A formal assessment of your
qualifications will be undertaken, which will also determine the appropriate amount of North
American experience required.

After reading this sample resume, you might find yourself somewhat intimidated. "How could I ever
compete with someone like that?" For those of you who are near graduation, don't worry--very few have a
background that strong (and if they do, E&Y has probably already hired them for after college as well). For
those of you who have time remaining before graduation and have yet to fully form your end product, you
can still change your work experience so that you will also look strong on paper.
Remember, looking good on paper is only the first step. The sample resume is provided primarily for
formatting purposes. Even someone with a mediocre background will look much stronger by following that
tight, concise format and structure.
A visitor to our site recently wrote: "One company said they called me in because it was the best resume
and cover letter he had seen in ten years." This format works. Use it.

The officer does not have to ask you for more evidence so include as much
evidence and documentation with your application as you can.
The officer will not interview you to assess your language skills.
The officer will award points for your language ability based on what you send
with your application. You will not know how many points the CIC Officer gives
you for your language skills or if the CIC Officer is satisfied that you have
clearly demonstrated the level of language skills you claim on your application.

Language Proficiency
The ability to communicate and work in one or both of Canadas official
languages is very important to you, as a skilled worker. Abilities in English,
French or both will help you in the Canadian labour market.
Language proficiency is one of the six selection factors for skilled workers. You
will be awarded up to 24 points for your basic, moderate or high abilities in
English and French. You will be given points based on your ability to:
listen;
speak;
read; and
write.
Description of Each Level of Ability:

Use the following chart to assess your skill levels according to the Canadian
Language Benchmarks. Follow the links for a description of each skill level.

to do this. You can:

The best way to provide proof of language skills is to take a language proficiency
test given by an organization approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada
(CIC). If you do so, you will be able to see exactly how many points you will
receive for the language factor according to your test results.
You Must:
Make arrangements for testing by an approved organization. You will have

to pay the costs.
Include the results of your test with your immigration application.
What Happens Next:
You can use the equivalency charts to see exactly how many points you
will earn based on your test results.
The test results will be used by CIC as conclusive proof of your language
skills.
You can use language test results for one year from the time you took the
test.
Approved Language Tests

You can arrange to take a language test from any of the following approved
organizations:
English Testing Organizations
IELTS: International English Language Testing System

The University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate, IDP Education

Minimum Work Experience

Requirements
Skilled workers are people who may become permanent residents because they
have the ability to become economically established in Canada.
Citizenship
You must meet the following minimum work experience requirements to allow
you to apply as a skilled worker:
You must have at least one year of full-time work experience. You must
have been paid for this work.
Your work experience must be in the category of Skill Type 0, or Skill
Level A or B on the Canadian National Occupational Classification
(NOC). (See below for instructions.)
You must have had this experience within the last 10 years.
National Occupation Classification (NOC)

The NOC is a classification system for jobs in the Canadian economy. It
describes duties, skills, talents and work settings for occupations.
Determine Your NOC Category
Follow these steps to see if your work experience meets the requirements to
apply as a skilled worker.
Note: After checking the external Web sites mentioned in each step below,
press the back button on your Web browser to return to this Web page.
1 Find the title of any full-time jobs you had in the past 10 years using
National Occupation Classification list. This is a list of all jobs that
are in Skill Type 0, Skill Level A or B on the NOC. Write down the
four-digit code located to the left of your jobs title.
2 Go to the NOC Web site and type your four-digit job-code in the
Quick Search box. Make sure you press the GO button. A
description of your occupation will appear. Make sure the
description and Main Duties describe what you did at your last
jobs.
Note: you do not have to meet the Employment Requirements
listed in the description.
If the initial description and list of main duties matches what you
did at your last jobs, you can count this experience when you apply
as a skilled worker. You can also earn points in Factor 3 of the
Selection Factors.
If the description does not match your work experience then you
might not have the experience you need to apply as a skilled
worker. Look through the NOC list to see if another occupation
matches your experience. Check all of the jobs you had in the past
10 years to see if you have at least one year of work experience in
a job that will qualify you as a skilled worker.
3 Check the list of restricted occupations. If your work experience is

in a restricted occupation then you cannot use it to qualify for the
Skilled Worker category.
You do not meet the minimum requirements if:
none of your work experience is listed in the NOC list;

your experience did not occur in the 10 years before you applied; or
your only work experience is in a restricted occupation.
If you do not meet the minimum work experience requirements, your application
as a Skilled Worker will be refused.

"So heres a tip. The
next time you and

swank restaurant,
skip the entrees.
Order appetizers and
a bottle of wine itll
be cheaper, and youll
get a much better

might actually make it

N. Van submersibles to dive on ferry

A North Vancouver company that developed
camera technology to allow detailed filming inside
the wreck of the Titanic will send one of its
manned deep-water submersibles 400 metres
under the Inside Passage to the sunken Queen of
the North this weekend.
In deep water
IT seems the height of irony that the first B.C. ferry ever to sink did so
in 2006.

JANE GEORGE
When the Baffin regions health system
flunked its accreditation review this past
September, it did so because of a long
list of failings that threaten to harm
patients, demoralize staff, and create
grave financial risks for the Nunavut
government.
The report, by the Canadian Council on
Health Services Accreditation, was
finished in September 2005, but not
released to the public until MLAs
demanded that it be tabled in the
legislative assembly.

Students studying to be teachers at

Nunavut Arctic College arent learning
the advanced Inuktitut skills they need to
teach the language, and when they
complete their studies at the Nunavut
Teacher Education Program, theyre
getting jobs in classrooms where they
have to produce their own materials if
they want to work in Inuktitut.

Those are just two problems outlined in

the Evaluation of the Nunavut Teacher
Education Program produced for the
Government of Nunavut and Nunavut
Arctic College by Aarluk Consulting last
September.
Unless these problems are addressed, the
report notes, the GN will not have
enough Inuktitut teachers to implement
its bilingual education strategy, which
calls for more Inuktitut-speaking
classrooms at all grade levels.

When You Arrive in Canada

When you first arrive in Canada, you will probably live in a temporary home for
at least a few weeks. Once you get settled, you will want to find something more
permanent.
Canada has many different types of housing. Prices vary considerably,
depending on where you live, and whether you choose a house or an apartment.
Finding a place to live can take several weeks. There are three separate steps:
1. Deciding how much you can afford to pay, how many rooms you need
and where you want to live.
2. Finding the apartment or house you want.
3. Completing the legal contract to rent or buy.
Deciding What You Want

Deciding whether you want to rent or buy a place to live is a big decision. Your
decision will depend on where you want to live, how much money you have and
whether you have a job in Canada. Most newcomers to Canada decide to rent
an apartment or a house when they first arrive in Canada. This gives them a
chance to save for a house and decide where they want to live.
Types of Housing
There are many different types of housing available in Canada.
Room for rent: This is usually in a house or an apartment that is owned or
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomer/fact_02e.html (1 sur 5)2006-03-26 21:35:57
rented by other people. Everyone shares the kitchen and bathrooms.

Bachelor or studio apartment: These are small apartments designed
mainly for one person. They have one large room with a kitchen and a
sleeping area, plus a separate bathroom.
Other apartments: Most other apartments have from one to three
bedrooms. All will have a separate kitchen, a living room and a bathroom.
Duplex: This is a house divided into two separate apartments. It may be
bought or rented.
Townhouse: This is a small house joined to other houses. It may be
bought or rented.
Condominium: This is an apartment or a townhouse that is individually
owned. Common areas are jointly owned. You will have to pay a monthly
fee for maintenance, such as snow removal, grass cutting and repairs.
You will have to pay property taxes.
Cost
The cost of housing varies widely. Prices depend on the location, age and
condition of the apartment or house, and the local market. You can expect to
pay from $350 a month for a room to $2,000 a month for a luxury apartment or a
house. Housing is usually less expensive if it is outside a large city. Purchase
prices for houses range considerably depending on the city, town or location
where you buy.
When you are budgeting for your housing costs, you may have to allow as much
as 35 to 50 percent of your income. This should include the cost of such things
as heating, electricity and other utilities.
How to Find an Apartment or a House to Rent

Classified advertisements in local newspapers are your best source of
information on places to live. You can also ask your friends or relatives.
Organizations that help immigrants will be able to help you as well.
You can also look for Vacant or For Rent signs on houses or apartment
buildings in the neighbourhood where you want to live. Many landlords also
advertise on bulletin boards in grocery stores, community centres or
laundromats.
Its a good idea to walk around the area where you want to live. Look for
convenient parking, nearby bus routes, shopping, schools and laundry facilities
(washing machines) in or near the building.
Once you decide on a price range, size and a preferred location, you should be
able to identify several possible apartments. Normally, you telephone for an
appointment to see a vacant apartment or a house.
Rented Apartments
Every apartment should have:
a door with a lock that opens to a common hallway or the street;
a kitchen with a sink and hot and cold water, countertop, shelves or
cupboards and appliances such as a stove and a refrigerator;
closets and storage space;
a private bathroom with a sink, toilet and bath or shower.
Your apartment will be equipped with essential utilities, including:
a heating system;
light and electricity; and
running hot and cold water.
You should find out if the costs of electricity, gas, heat and water are included in
the rent, or whether you will be charged extra for these services. Property taxes
are paid by the landlord. You will be responsible for paying the costs of the
telephone, Internet, and cable or satellite television connections.
Furnished housing should include beds, tables, chairs, lamps, curtains, basic
kitchen equipment, a stove and a refrigerator. Unfurnished housing may include
a stove and a refrigerator, but not always.
Rented Houses
Renting a house is similar to renting an apartment, but it will cost more. Rental
houses are not usually furnished.
If you rent a house, make sure you inquire about appliances. Some rented
houses do not include a stove and fridge. Others may include more appliances,
such as a clothes washer and a dryer.
The tenant usually pays for utilities and heat in a rented house.
Signing a lease
Once you agree to rent an apartment or a house, your landlord may ask you to
sign a lease. A lease is a one- or two-page agreement that describes the rental
property, the cost and the utilities that are included. It may also say whether a
parking spot or a storage area is included, and whether pets are allowed.
Most leases are for one year. Be sure you understand which utilities you will
have to pay for and which will be paid by the landlord. Find out if there is a
penalty if you leave before the end of the lease. You will have to make an initial
payment, possibly the first and last months rent. You may also be asked for a
damage deposit, which will be returned to you when you leave if you have not
caused any damage to the property beyond normal use.
Read your lease carefully before signing it. If you dont understand some of the
legal terms in the lease, contact an organization that helps immigrants, or
someone you know and trust who can help you. Once you sign the lease, it is a
legal document.
Buying a House or Condominium

Buying a house or a condominium is a big step. You may want to wait until you
have been in Canada a few years before you become a home-owner.
Most homes in Canada are sold through real estate agents, but some are sold
privately. When you buy a house, you should work with a real estate agent, who
will help you choose one that is right for you.
There are many hidden costs and fees in buying a house. They may include
lawyers fees or notarys fees, and taxes. There are also costs to maintain a
house, and costs for utilities, insurance, and so on. Make sure you know exactly
what your costs will be before you buy.
Unless you have enough money for the full price of the house, you will need to
arrange a long-term loan known as a mortgage. Mortgage loans are available
from banks and other financial institutions.
When you have decided on the house that you want to buy, your real estate
agent will help you prepare a written offer. The offer normally includes a deposit.
If the seller accepts the offer, it becomes a legal agreement to purchase.
Knowing Your Rights

If you rent an apartment or a house, both you and your landlord have certain
legal rights. There are laws that protect you from sudden increases in your rent,
or from being forced to leave your apartment. You are responsible for keeping
the apartment or house you are renting in good condition.
You have the right to live anywhere you choose. The Canadian Charter of Rights
and Freedoms protects you from discrimination on the basis of colour, creed,
sex, age or disability. Provincial laws also protect tenants from discrimination.
If you have questions, call the provincial or municipal government department
that is responsible for housing. You will find the information you need in the
provincial or municipal government listings of the telephone book under housing
or rental board.
If You Want More Information

Immigrant serving agencies, reception houses and national associations can
give you advice on finding a place to live, whether you want to rent or buy.
You can also consult the provincial or municipal department responsible for
housing, listed in the blue pages of your telephone book.
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation also provides information on
rental and housing markets across Canada. Visit their Web site or call their tollfree number for more information (1 800 668-2642).

Getting to know Canada
Citizenship
The Canadian way of life
The Canadian way of life

anada is an immense country. It is very diverse in its people, its
landscape, its climate and its way of life. However, Canadians do
share the same important values. These values guide and influence
much of our everyday life. These are values of pride, a belief in
equality and diversity and respect for all individuals in society. Women, men,
children and seniors are all equally respected in Canada. Canadians may be
different from each other but it is these shared values that make Canada a
friendly, caring, peace-loving and secure society in which to live.
Fairness, tolerance and respect. Canadians want fairness and justice for
themselves, their children and their families. And most are fair and just to
others, no matter who they are or where they come from.
Diversity and cooperation. Canadians understand the value of cooperation.
In a country as large and diverse as Canada, people must be able to learn to
resolve or ignore small conflicts in order to live happily and peacefully.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomer/welcome/wel-03e.html (1 sur 2)2006-03-26 21:43:57
Equal opportunity. Canadians believe in equality. Each person is equal

before the law and is treated equally by the law. Women and men have the
same opportunity for success. Canadians let people live as they wish, as long
as they do not limit how others live.
Civil responsibility. Canadians appreciate their rights and freedoms, which
are the same without regard to gender, race, or ethnicity. Most also want to
contribute to our society. As a newcomer, you should be aware of your rights
and responsibilities. The right to participate in Canadian society implies an
obligation to help it succeed. Canadian citizenship is about caring enough to
want to get involved and make Canada even better.
Environmental responsibility. Canadians are especially conscious of their
natural environment and the need to both respect and protect it for the future.
Canadians believe that economic growth should not come at the expense of a
healthy environment and social well-being. There are some simple things we
all can do to work towards sustainable development, such as: participating in
recycling programs that help convert garbage into usable materials; keeping
parks and streets clean by putting garbage into garbage cans and cleaning up
after their pets; not smoking in public places where it is banned; using public
transportation, riding a bicycle or walking rather than using a car; and
volunteering with community groups.

Renting
any Canadians rent housing, and so do most newcomers, at
least for the first few years. Apartments and houses for rent
are usually listed in the classified advertising section of the
newspaper. It is also a good idea to walk around an area you
would like to live in, and see if there are any signs posted on or by the
buildings. Do not take the first place you see -- try to shop around a little, see
what's available. Prices often vary considerably.
Some apartments can be rented by the month, but with most rented housing
you sign a lease for a year. This is a legally binding contract between you and
the landlord. Make sure you understand exactly what you have to pay for, and
what is included in your rent. For example, do you pay for the heating costs or
are they included? Canada is a cold country in the winter, and heating can be
expensive. Are you allowed to have pets? Are the fridge and stove included?
Do you have to pay municipal taxes? Also, you may have to pay a security
deposit (such as the first month's rent) to rent the apartment you have
chosen. Read the lease over carefully before you sign it.
You should also purchase tenant's insurance to cover the costs of replacing
the household contents of your apartment. It is probably a good idea to ask
someone in your local community group or immigrant-serving organization for
information about housing. They can also explain the legal terms used in
leases.
Remember: Avoid signing a lease if you plan to move again soon.
Your rights as a tenant

Both tenants (someone who rents a room, an apartment or house) and
landlords both have legal rights. There are laws which protect you from
sudden rent increases or being forced to leave your apartment. You have the
right to live anywhere you choose. Discrimination on the basis of colour,
creed, sex, age or disability is not allowed by the Canadian Charter of Rights
and Freedoms. Provincial landlord and tenant laws also protect against such
discrimination. You also have responsibilities. It is important to keep the
house or apartment you are renting in the same condition you found it. Call
the provincial or municipal government department responsible for housing,
sometimes called a rental board, if you need information or help, or look up
the provincial Landlord and Tenant Regulations. You will find the numbers in
the blue pages of the telephone book. You can also ask community groups for
information or help.
Buying
Buying a home is a big step, and you might want to wait until you are settled
before you do so. Most homes in Canada are sold through real estate agents,
although some owners do it themselves. You may see "For Sale" signs
posted in front of homes, and you can also read the classified advertising
section of the daily newspaper.
When buying a house, it's important to remember that there are many hidden
costs. These may include the agent's fee, in some provinces, as well as
lawyer's or notary's fees, yearly property tax, house insurance, registration
fees, various home buyer taxes, and the cost of maintaining the house -- heat,
hydro, water, sewer, and so on. Make sure you know exactly what your costs
will be before you buy.
You may want to find out about the First Home Loan Insurance Program, run
by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. It enables you to buy a home

with a smaller down payment. The Corporation's fee is rolled into the total
mortgage in the form of a small percentage.
Heat and hydro

Whether you rent or buy, you will need to sign up for various basic services,
such as heat and hydro (electricity). In Canada, some homes are heated by
gas, others by oil, and others by electricity. Frequently, there are one or two
main companies which provide these services in an area, and you can find
these in the yellow pages of the telephone book. Try looking under "Gas,"
"Heating Companies," "Oils/Fuel," and "Hydro-Electric."
Have you contacted your telephone company?
Do you have your address and telephone number

with you?
Do you know how to get heat and light?
Getting a telephone
You will want to get a telephone installed quickly, so that you can reach the
people and the services you need from the comfort of your home. Bell
Canada operates most of the telephone service across Canada, but you can
find out the name of the telephone company in your area in a telephone book.
The Customer Service number should be in the first few pages of the book.
The telephone company in your area normally has phonecentres in large
shopping malls. You can visit them to get your service set up.
You can either rent a telephone from your telephone company and pay month
by month or buy one. The cost of making local calls is covered by the monthly
service fee, which is added to the cost of renting the telephone. Long distance
and overseas calls are not covered by this monthly fee, and can be quite
expensive. Many telephone companies offer special plans which can reduce
the costs of long distance calls. Phone cards, which can be used to call
anywhere from any phone including public telephones, are a cost-effective
way to reduce long-distance charges.
Remember: Canada is a very large country, so even when you're calling
within the same province or city, long distance charges may apply.
Furnishing
Chances are you're going to need some basic furniture and household
appliances. You can buy new, which can be costly, or wait for stores to have
sales and buy things gradually. You can also buy used furniture and
appliances, which is what many Canadians do. Articles or furniture for sale
listings are found in the classified advertising section of the newspaper. You
can also try used furniture stores, church and local rummage or garage sales,
or community organizations. Your local community immigrant service
organization should be able to help you with names and addresses.
To find out more...

Probably one of the best sources of information is your local immigrantserving organization. You might also want to consult the provincial or
municipal department responsible for housing, listed in the blue pages of your
telephone book. They may have a central information number.
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has a free pamphlet
entitled Homebuying, Step by Step. They also run the Canada Housing
Information Centre, and can provide information on the rental and housing
markets across Canada. Call their toll-free number for more information: 1800-668-2642 or visit their website at www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca

Applying for a Health Insurance Card

anada has one of the finest health insurance programs in the world.
Health insurance means that you don't have to "pay" directly for
most health care services. They are paid for through your taxes.
When you use these services, you simply present your Health
Insurance Card.
While health insurance is a national service, each province administers its
own program. There may be some variations in eligibility from province to
province. In some provinces you will have to pay a small monthly fee for this
insurance. It is important to apply for your health insurance card as soon as
possible. You will receive your health insurance card from the province where
you live. You can get an application form at a doctor's office, a hospital, a
pharmacy or an immigrant-serving organization. You can also get forms from
the provincial ministry responsible for health, listed in the blue pages of your
telephone book. You will need to show some identification, such as your birth
certificate or passport, or your Confirmation of Permanent Residence
(IMM 5292). The permanent resident card may also be presented.
Permanent residents in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and New
Brunswick have a three-month eligibility waiting period. During this time, you
should apply for temporary private, health insurance coverage. Private
insurance companies are listed in the yellow pages of the telephone book,
usually under "Insurance." Private health insurance is also available for
services which are not covered under the government health insurance plan.
These might include dental costs or private hospital rooms. Some employers
also offer additional health insurance for a monthly deduction from your
paycheque. In most provinces, health insurance does not cover the cost of
prescription drugs, dental care, ambulance services and prescription eye
glasses.
Needy refugee claimants and refugees living in the provinces which have the
three-month eligibility waiting period can receive emergency and essential
health services. The cost of these services is covered by the Interim Federal
Health Program.
Remember: Each member of your family needs his or her own Health
Insurance Card. Always bring your card with you when you go to the doctor or
the hospital.
A Health Insurance Card must not be exchanged with anyone else. It is for
your use only and you could lose the benefits it provides by letting other
people use it. You could also face criminal charges and be removed from
Canada.
Finding doctors and clinics

Most Canadians have a family doctor and dentist. Ask an immigrant service
organization or someone you know to recommend one. You can also look
them up in the yellow pages of the telephone book under "Physicians and
Surgeons," or "Dentists." Canada also has a large number of medical clinics,
which can offer a variety of health services without an appointment, or in a
minor emergency. These are listed under "Clinics" or "Clinics-Medical" in the
yellow pages.
Emergency help
If you need urgent medical help, quickly go to the emergency department of

your nearest hospital or call the emergency number "911."
If you have a serious medical condition, such as diabetes, high blood
pressure or allergies to medications, ask your doctor or hospital about Medic
Alert tags and bracelets. These can provide useful information in an
emergency.
Immunization for children

Immunization or vaccination for children is one of the most effective ways we
protect all Canadians, young and old, from getting serious infectious
diseases. These diseases include diphtheria, polio and tetanus. Your child
gets a small dose of vaccine to help him or her build up "immunity" to these
diseases. You can arrange to have your child innoculated through your doctor
or pediatrician, or through a public health clinic. You will receive an
immunization or vaccination record, which you may have to provide to your
child's school.
In Canada there is a "schedule" for these immunizations. For example, some
shots are given when your child is two months old, at four months, at six
months, and so on. Ask your doctor or pediatrician for a copy of this schedule,
or look up the municipal department responsible for school immunization in
the blue pages of your telephone book. You may also find a central help line
listed under "Immunization" in the white pages of the telephone book. The
schedule varies slightly from province to province.
Immunization for adults

If you were not immunized against preventable diseases before coming to
Canada, you should contact your doctor or local public health clinic
immediately.
Medical surveillance
During the medical exam you underwent before becoming a Canadian
resident, you may have been told that you needed a follow-up medical exam
once you got to Canada. This is known as medical surveillance for those who
have an inactive infectious disease. You must report, by telephone, to the
public health authority of the province or territory where you live within 30
days of entering Canada. You will find this number in the blue pages of your
telephone book. This is very important for your health, and for the health of
your fellow Canadians.
Pregnancy
Maternity leave is the right of all working mothers in Canada. If you are
pregnant and have to stop working for a while, you can take leave, from your
employer for a set period of time. You may also be entitled to paid leave, or
maternity benefits. You can get more information from the provincial ministry
responsible for labour or from a Human Resources Development Canada
office.
For help and information before and after your baby is born, contact your local
community service centre or hospital. They offer prenatal courses, medical
help, nursing care, and a way to meet other new mothers. They can also give
you information on registering the birth with the province, so that you receive
an official birth certificate. They can also advise you about birth control and
abortion.
Have you applied for your Health Insurance Card?
To find out more...

Key medical emergency numbers are listed in the front section of the white
pages of your telephone book. Look up doctors and clinics in the yellow
pages. There is also printed health information available from provincial
ministries of health and from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Free
pamphlets are also available on a variety of topics from Health Canada (found
in the federal listings in the blue pages of your telephone book), or from
doctor's offices and drug stores.

To find out more...
Getting a driver's licence

ou need a valid driver's licence to drive a car in Canada, and
these are issued by the province or territory where you live. Your
foreign driver's licence may be valid for a short time after you
arrive in Canada, but eventually you will need to take a Canadian
driving test to remain licensed. This will help you to learn about the rules of
the road in Canada. You may also want to obtain an International Driving
Permit. Find out more from your provincial ministry of transportation or from
your provincial motor vehicle licensing agency.
Driving lessons are available from private companies, for a fee. You may want
to have a few lessons before you take your test. Look in the yellow pages
under "Driving Instruction."
Remember: It is a legal requirement to carry your driver's licence with you
whenever you drive. You should also carry your car registration and vehicle
permit with you. It is good advice to carry a copy of your car insurance
certificate.
Buying a car
Cars can cost a lot of money, whether they are used or new. Make sure you
can afford the upkeep, the gas, the monthly payments and the costs of
registering and insuring it. Some Canadians opt to lease cars. Leasing can be
handy, but there are a number of hidden costs involved, such as
administrative fees or handling taxes. Whichever option you choose, make
sure you understand exactly what your financial obligations are.
Car insurance is another major expense. All cars must be registered with the
provincial motor vehicle licensing agency where you live, and must be
insured. This is the law. Car insurance can be expensive, but it protects you
and other drivers in case of an accident. You buy insurance through private
insurance companies, listed in the yellow pages under "Insurance". Some
provinces also sell insurance through provincial corporations. Shop around for
the best rates. An accident-free record will help you get a better insurance
rate. In most provinces, you can obtain more information by calling the
Insurance Bureau of Canada or visiting their website at www.ibc.ca
Use of seat belts

You and your passengers must wear seat belts at all times when you are
driving in Canada. This is the law. The use of a seat belt can save your life in
an accident, and you can be fined for not wearing one.
Car seats for children

Babies and children who are too small to wear seat belts safely must be
placed in car seats whenever you drive. These can also help to save lives in
case of an accident. There are different types of car seats for different ages
and weights. For example, infants must be placed in special seats that face
the back of the car. Children over 18 kg need a booster seat.
In case of an accident
Call 911 or your local emergency number right away if you need medical help.
Stay where you are, and get someone to call the police. You should also
report the accident immediately to your car insurance company. It is also

important to exchange your name, address, and telephone number, as well as
your insurance and driver's licence numbers with the other driver. Never leave
the scene of an accident, especially if you have hit someone. This is a serious
offence known as "hit-and-run."
To find out more...

Contact the public transit organizations, provincial ministries of transportation,
provincial motor vehicle licensing offices or insurance associations listed in
the telephone book.
Do you have a valid driver's licence?
Do you have car insurance?

Do you have a car seat for your child?

Banks and other financial institutions

ost Canadians keep their money in the bank. A bank account
is a safe place to keep your money. Banks let you write
cheques, earn interest, apply for credit, and pay your bills.
These kinds of financial services are also offered by credit
unions, caisses populaires and trust companies.
Opening an account
Most banks have various kinds of accounts, and you can discuss which kind
you need with them. To open one, you should be prepared to provide certain
kinds of personal information, as well as various forms of identification, such
as your passport, or your Social Insurance Number. The bank will need your
Social Insurance Number for income tax purposes. This is the same for
anyone, at any bank.
Remember: Post Office savings accounts do not exist in Canada.
Using banking machines

Many Canadians now use Automated Banking Machines, known as ATMs, to
do most of their banking. It's like a self-service bank, one that's "open"
24 hours a day, seven days a week. With a bank card, you can use these
machines to get cash from your accounts, to pay bills, to deposit cheques,
and so on. You will likely pay a small fee for this service.
You can apply for a card at your bank. You will need to create a Personal
Identification Number (PIN) for yourself to access your accounts. Don't lend
your bank card to anyone, or tell anyone your PIN. Don't even let anyone see
your PIN number when you enter it in the banking machine. This will keep
your account (and your money) safe.
Bank cards can also be used to buy things at many stores. The money is
taken directly from your account when you use your card. This is known as
Interac Direct Payment.
While all of these services are useful, keeping track of all your bank
transactions can get complicated. Remember to record everything and take
note of your balance and the fees charged by your financial institution.
Direct deposit
Direct deposit has become very popular with Canadians. It means that money
owed to you, such as a paycheque or a government payment, is put
electronically into your account. You have access to the money immediately,
and you don't have to wait for the cheque to come in the mail or line up at the
bank to deposit it. You can request this service if you expect to receive
regular payments. Most government departments offer this service, as well as
many companies.
Sending money
If you send money outside Canada, don't send cash. Use a certified cheque
or money order. Ask your bank about these options. You can also buy a
money order at the post office or wire money through private money order/
transfer services (which are listed in the yellow pages of the telephone book).
Applying for credit

Getting credit means that you borrow money to buy something now and pay it
back later, with interest. Interest is the fee charged for using the money.
Interest rates can be quite high, so you should be very careful how you use
credit.
Credit comes in many forms -- credit cards, lines of credit, mortgages, loans.
You can apply for credit cards at banks and trust companies. These cards
allow you to buy items on credit and be billed for them within a month. If you
pay the full amount back by the due date, you won't be charged any interest.
If you borrow any money on credit, make sure you understand exactly when
you have to pay it back and how much it will cost. This includes monthly
payments if you are borrowing money on an installment plan.
Many department stores now advertise special sales which claim that you can
buy something now and pay for it in a year, or in six months with no interest,
and so on. Make sure you understand exactly what you must pay and when,
before you sign anything. If any information is hard to understand, ask
someone you trust for a clear explanation.
Telemarketing
You may get calls from people who are trying to sell you something. They
may be honest; but then again, they might be dishonest. The best way to
protect yourself is never to give out any personal or financial information to
anyone over the telephone. If you feel uneasy about the caller, just hang up.
To find out more...

There is a great deal of free information available to you from your bank,
including financial advice. The Canadian Bankers Association also offers a
free series of publications, ranging from how to open an account, how to
manage your money, how to use bank machines, and how to save for your
children's education. You can call their toll-free number to obtain copies: 1800-263-0231 or you can visit their website at www.cba.ca

Home Citizenship Information about Canadian Citizenship Dual

Citizenship
Dual Citizenship
What is meant by dual citizenship?
Every independent nation makes its own decision as to who its citizens will be.
You possess dual or multiple citizenship when more than one country
recognizes you as its citizen.
Unlike the law in effect in Canada up to 1977, the current Citizenship Act allows
Canadian citizens to acquire a foreign nationality without automatically losing
their Canadian citizenship. Since February 15, 1977, a Canadian citizen who
acquires another nationality may retain Canadian citizenship, unless he or she
voluntarily applies to renounce it and the application is approved by a citizenship
judge. The current act thus makes it possible to have two or more citizenships
and allegiances at the same time for an indefinite period.
Consequently, you may have the rights and obligations conferred by each of
these countries on its citizens. Whenever you are in a country that recognizes
you as a citizen, its laws take priority over the laws of any other country of which
you may be a citizen. International treaties may, however, allow exceptions to
this rule.
A person may have several citizenships at the same time. For example, a
person who was born in a country other than Canada, who applies for
citizenship and is naturalized in Canada, and then naturalized in a third country
may be a citizen of all three countries. However, cases of dual citizenship are
more common. Although this pamphlet deals primarily with dual citizenship, the
information contained in it applies equally to people who are citizens of more
than two countries. The terms dual citizenship and dual nationality are now
used interchangeably.
How does dual citizenship occur?

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizen/dualci_e.html (1 sur 5)2006-03-26 21:44:52
If you, your parents, your grandparents and your spouse, if you are married,
were all born in Canada, and you have not become the citizen of any other
country, then you most likely possess only one citizenship: Canadian.
However, if one or more of these people were born outside Canada or acquired
another citizenship, this might result in your having dual citizenship, depending
on the laws of the countries concerned. For example, if you were born in
Canada and one of your parents or your spouse was born outside Canada, you
might be considered a citizen of your parents or your spouses former
homeland, even if you never asked to be one. Dual citizenship occurs because
citizenship can be obtained in more than one way: through country of birth,
naturalization, parents, grandparents or, in rare cases, marriage.
Citizenship is a complex matter because of the great variety of citizenship laws
throughout the world. Some countries allow dual citizenship while others take
away the citizenship of a person who acquires another citizenship. Some do not
recognize a persons new citizenship. The laws that apply to your case are
generally the ones in force at the time of the event that affects your citizenship
(your birth or marriage, or your parents birth or marriage, for instance). This is
why determining your present citizenship status can be a difficult and lengthy
process.
Before the Citizenship Act of February 15, 1977, Canadian law limited dual
citizenship. It also provided more ways to gain or lose citizenship than does our
current law. Canadians who became citizens of another country before that date
should check to see if they are still Canadians. Since that date, Canadian law,
like the laws of several other countries, has allowed dual citizenship.
Are you a citizen of more than one country?

To find out whether you are or might become a dual citizen, you must contact
the officials of each country in question. You will have to provide some
information about yourself, such as the place and date of birth, the citizenship of
your parents, and certain immigration details. You may also have to provide
similar information about your parents, and possibly your spouse and
grandparents.
If you are in Canada and you want to find out if you are a citizen of another
country, you should contact that foreign countrys embassy or consulate. To
obtain the correct names, addresses and telephone numbers, you can consult
the Consular Affairs Web site at www.voyage.gc.ca/alt/representatives.asp, or
call the Enquiries Service of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International
Trade at 1 800 267-8376 (toll-free, from anywhere in Canada) or (613) 944-4000
(in Ottawa).
If you have questions about Canadian citizenship, you should contact the Call
Centre at 1 888 242-2100 from anywhere in Canada, or any Canadian embassy,
high commission or consulate outside Canada. You may also write to the
Registrar of Canadian Citizenship, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Ottawa
K1A 1L1.
Dual citizenship: An important issue

Dual citizenship may carry with it certain benefits, but it may also bring
unexpected difficulties: legal proceedings, taxation and financial responsibilities,
military service, denial of emigration, even imprisonment for failure to comply
with obligations in one of your countries of citizenship. Accordingly, you should
ask yourself the following questions:
Am I now a dual citizen?

Can I acquire dual citizenship, either by marriage or by naturalization in
Canada or in another country?
Is dual citizenship an advantage or a disadvantage for me?
If dual citizenship is a disadvantage, what can I do about it?
Dual citizenship: Advantage or disadvantage?

Suppose you learn that you have, or a member of your family has, dual
citizenship or that you might acquire it. Would dual citizenship be good for you?
Would it have more advantages than disadvantages?
For some people, dual citizenship offers practical advantages (for example,
social security or employment). It may also enhance the feeling of belonging
because they have strong personal ties to more than one country.
However, it is important to realize that there can be difficulties and
disadvantages as well. The following paragraphs suggest some of the
consequences of having dual citizenship. In general, the laws that apply to you
at any time are the laws of the country in which you are physically present at that
time. The laws of a country may provide, for example, that people residing in the
country of their second citizenship may travel only on the passport of their
country of residence. Possession of a second passport could result in its being
confiscated, or even in a fine.
If a Canadian has legal or other difficulties outside the country, Canadian
diplomatic and consular representatives in that country can try to help. However,
if the Canadian in difficulty in another country is also a citizen of that country,
Canadian officials may be entirely unable to help. That country will be dealing
with one of its own citizens and probably will not welcome outside interference.
Indeed, foreign authorities will definitely consider you as one of their citizens,
especially if you choose to travel under their passport.
Travelling with a Canadian passport and another countrys passport
simultaneously might also lead to certain difficulties in a third country. Where
permitted by the laws of the country in question, the Government of Canada
encourages Canadians to use their Canadian passport when travelling abroad
and to present themselves as Canadians to foreign authorities.
There may be laws in a country to which a foreign traveller is not subject, but
which apply to you as a citizen of that country. For example, there may be
restrictions on exit, compulsory military service, and special taxes or financial
compensation for services received in the past, including educational costs.

There might even be special circumstances that apply to you in particular. For
example, friends or relatives may be affected by your visiting that country, or
there may be legal proceedings pending against you that could begin again if
you return.
You might be affected if the countries of which you are a citizen are involved in
political upheavals or military conflicts.
Even while in Canada, you might be approached with demands that you fulfil
certain obligations to another country of which you are legally a citizen.
These are some of the possible drawbacks to dual or multiple citizenship. They
might not apply in your case, but it is important for you to be aware of them.
Avoid the hazards of dual citizenship

Suppose you are or might become a dual citizen, and you feel that this could
present problems for you, your spouse or your children, or others. You can do a
number of things about it.
Before applying for Canadian citizenship, you are advised to find out if you can
retain your present citizenship, and if this might cause problems for you or
others.
Next, find out if you can renounce the citizenship that you do not wish to retain,
and whether renouncing that citizenship will remove the possible hazards.
Citizenship cannot be renounced merely by making a personal declaration to
this effect. You need to apply to the appropriate authorities of the country
concerned and obtain formal approval.
If you are or will become a citizen of another country and you are living outside
Canada, you may apply to renounce Canadian citizenship through any Canadian
embassy, high commission or consulate outside Canada. Once you are no
longer a Canadian citizen, however, you cannot travel on a Canadian passport
or benefit from Canadian assistance outside Canada. Moreover, you cannot
return to Canada as a permanent resident without going through immigration
procedures.
Above all, avoid travelling to a country of which you are a citizen if it is likely to
cause you difficulty.
Confirm your citizenship status

Citizenship laws are complicated. Do not assume that what applies to your
friends and relatives will apply to you as well, even though your circumstances
may be similar. Be certain about your own citizenship status. Seek information
from the officials of every country of which you may be a citizen. Start with the
Call Centre in Canada or a Canadian embassy or consulate outside Canada.
Advice and guidance are free, and Canadian officials will be glad to give you
information or tell you where it may be available.

If you wish to obtain a citizenship certificate to confirm your Canadian
citizenship, you must make an application and pay the appropriate fees. For
more information, see the Citizenship and Immigration Canada Call Centre
number below. The automated voice response system will give you answers to
general citizenship questions 24 hours a day. If you wish to speak to an agent,
contact the Call Centre during the normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There emails are from real people and are never edited.. But we can't publish their real names. We
try to protect the privacy of these clients most of whom have became our friends.
I am one of the many who just recently viewed your site. I have been planning to
migrate to Canada since last year and have started to work on my papers. I have been
consulting the Canadian Embassy website for instructions on how to apply etc. I have
almost completed my documents for my application and am just working on a few
things to fully complete them. The reason I emailed you is that I am very interested in
acquiring a copy of your ebook to use it as my guide before i file my application JB
It's indeed a blessing to stumble upon your website. I am also a Christian, Filipino
wanting to migrate to Canada. I am doing the necessary preparations on my own
because I find the fees charged by consultancy firms way too unreasonable, and as
you have said, we do not know the kind of service they give. I'm currently working in
Singapore as Deputy Editor for a publishing house. I just have one question as I'm not
sure if this is mentioned in your book I'm buying (and promoting to my friends) - Can I
file my application here in Singapore and then move back to the Philippines after two
months? I needed to go back home for the meantime, but I prefer filing my application
here since it is faster as some of my friends have proved. In short, I want to work in
Manila while I wait for the result of my application, but I'm willing to come to Singapore
if I need to go for interview, etc. MM
I am interested to apply to Canada as immigrant and contactad to consultance center
here. It is too expensive. Fortunately,i got your information in internet and want to get

by cheque. SM

looking at Vancouver as the place where I would settle... the weather there is good and
its not that cold... I'm targeting July/August as the month I would file my application -and with your ebook, I get the assurance that I filed my application the right way... I'll
keep you updated on my application process. Again, thank you so much for the

First allow me to greet all of you a pleasant day, and hoping that everybody is in great
health. One of my friends forwarded me an email concerning the above subject matter,
timely enough, because it is always been my ultimate dream to try my best luck in
Canada, if not settle down there for good. To begin with, I never tried anything or
contact any agency to help me with this, maybe because I really don't know where to
start or who'm will I approach. We are very much interested to avail & have a copy of
the book "Do It Your Self Guide :- Migration To Canada Made Easy ", but sorry we
don't have a credit card , nor internet connection ( our company do not allowed to have
this facilities in our computer ), but we have an individual email. So maybe we could
settle for the option # 2. Hence, I would appreciate if the esteemed organization will
provide and supplement us more information pertaining to this, and how we go about it.

ABOUT CANADA
Map of Canada
The Country and it's People

Canada is the second largest country in the world with an area of 3,849,674
square miles or 9,970,610 square kilometers. Canadians understand that
Canada is a land of many cultures. In part, this is because Canada is a country
made up of many peoples from different countries all over the world. It has
been said that Canada is a "nation of immigrants", because most of
Canadians share common immigrant origins.
Geography
Canada is located in the continent of North America. The country stretches
from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The Arctic Ocean is north and the
United States is south. Diversity is the keynote of Canada's geography, which
includes fertile plains suitable for agriculture, vast mountain ranges, lakes and
rivers. Wilderness forests give way to Arctic tundra in the Far North.

Title : Regulations won't solve skills shortage - Canada alters immigration
policies - Brief Article
OTTAWA -- The changes to the immigration regulations announced by the
federal government are a step in the right direction to helping fill current
and future shortages in skilled labour in Canada, stated the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce. However, the Chamber also cautioned that many
regulations remain too restrictive.
The Chamber applauded the change in age regulations, which will enable
older skilled workers to come to Canada. In addition, allowing more points
for applicants with a trade certificate or second degree was also welcomed.
Chamber officials expressed disappointment that many restrictive regulations
will remain, such as those that require higher language qualifications for
skilled workers and those that require job offers and family relationships in
Canada.
"Unfortunately, these changes are not sufficient to allow for the kind of
increases in skilled labour that we need to fill current and future shortages,"
said Hughes Anthony, president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce. "Without significant increases in immigration of skilled workers,
many sectors of the Canadian economy will not be able to expand and keep
pace internationally."

Wrong! Not when it comes to our attitudes towards the disbaled. Especially
government attitudes to immigration and the disabled.
Did you know, for instance, that it's against the law to bring a disabled child
or adult to live in this country? Even a member of your family?
No? Well, you're not alone.
Few Canadians are aware of this cruel law that stems from the ignorant old
days.
But, despite rare court challenges over the years by stunned parents and
families, the draconian law persists.
It's a stand that a wealthy South African entrepreneur has been battling for
the past four years, a costly fight that has finally arrived in the Supreme
Court of Canada for a decision -- expected within the next two months.
David Hilewitz desperately wants to bring his 21-year-old son Gavin with him
to live in Canada. Although his own application has been granted, his son
has consistently been refused entry -- because he's mentally challenged.
Despite the fact Canada frequently states it's anxious to attract quality
immigrants, especially successful business entrepreneurs such as the multimillionaire Hilewitz, they're shown the door if they attempt to bring their
disabled family members with them.
This rejection is based on a clause in the Immigration Act which bars
children or adults who would place "excessive demands" on health and
social services. This is enforced without exception, even if the family, like the
Hilewitzes, can well afford to pay for private education and any necessary
assistance or services.
This is not about someone trying to "buy" his way into the country. This is a
story about a father courageously fighting an archaic and unfair law that
should not exist.
In fact, when I mention this law to people, their reaction is invariably
disbelief, then shock and surprise -- and finally, disgust.
Surely, they say, that's discrimination? They cannot believe a country that's
so welcoming to everyone, no matter what their race, religion, country or
even (often) dubious history, would bar others on the basis of their
handicaps.
Although fair-minded people would agree this is true, the law is upheld
rigorously.
Perhaps more surprising is that such a severe law isn't challenged far more
often, not only by hopeful, would-be immigrant families who've had their
dreams crushed but by fair-minded average Canadians.
But for most potential immigrants, a lengthy and costly legal suit against the
very government from which they're seeking permission to stay, is out of the
question.
The last court challenge to the law was in 1991 by Angela Chesters, the wife
of a Canadian citizen. Her husband was promoted from England back to
Canada -- but they were told she would be barred entry because she uses a
wheelchair.
Despite the fact both would have been gainfully employed, they were told
her disability was the only consideration in barring her. After a couple of
failed court challenges, the couple eventually gave up the struggle and
resettled in Germany.
Chesters said at the time that the law "doesn't fit with the picture of Canada
as being a free country, so generous and so accepting of minorities." How
right she is!
I personally understand her bitterness and frustration.
I'm a hard-working Canadian citizen, yet my daughter Sarah is not welcome
here -- because she's challenged.
In fact, in order to obtain precious immigrant status years ago, I had to sign
an affidavit stating I'd never attempt to bring her here to live, under any
circumstances -- or risk arrest. It was a heartbreaking decision to make.
There is plenty of Canadian anger vented when criminals are allowed entry
and continue their activities once they arrive, but no one says a word it
seems when a challenged or disabled person is denied a future with their
family here.
Yet the unbelievable financial cost and societal damage caused by such
criminals, including incarceration and ensuring their "rights" are upheld, is
surely far beyond anything a new Canadian's disabled family member could
ever incur.
What's more, given a choice, I'm certain I know who Canadians would prefer
to allow into the country.
I also know that a father having to bitterly fight through the courts to have
his son by his side is not about money, it's about bad laws. And this one
stinks.

Skilled Workers for Canadian Immigration
Skilled Workers for Canadian Immigration
Canada each year selects over 200,000 new immigrants. Independent
Selected Workers form a large portion of this overall number. Currently,
Canada is seeking qualified applicants in all occupations.
For independent applicants applying under the skilled worker program, there
are a series of factors that are assessed for the purposes of determining an
individuals likelihood of succeeding in settling in Canada. Each factor is
allotted a maximum number of points.
What is this Skilled Workers Canadian Immigration?
Independent immigrants are those who apply for a permanent residence on
their own merit.
There is no Canadian Consulate in Canada to process the applications for
independent immigrants. If you want to apply for permanent residence in
Canada as an independent immigrant, you are required to apply in the
Consulates outside of Canada.
Applicants interested in applying for permanent residence in Canada first
should qualify.
Independent immigrants to Canada are chosen based on their potential
economic contribution to the country.
As an independent immigrant, you will be assessed based on your *skills and

ability * to contribute to the Canadian labor market. The good new is only
the principal applicant is assessed based on the point system, not the
spouse or the dependents !
This program uses a point system that allows you to asses your chances of
being approved or not, even before submitting your application.

Hello to all of you!
It is a pleasure to be writing my own success story in this website. I
immigrated to Canada in March 1996! I was one of the successful
immigrants if you may call it that way. It was a long trip from my small
warm island in the Pacific to the huge cold land of Canada here in North
America. The change was scary, happy and shall I say, exciting.
Maybe next time when I get more chance away from my work, I will tell you
more stories of how I came to Canada and how I did it!
Thanks,

We are successful immigrants to Canada with humble

beginnings. That is why writing about our
accomplishments is the hardest part of this job - but
we believe that any business relationship should start
in an honest way. And if you get to know us more,
maybe you will allow us to help you and who knows, be
friends in the end ?
After all, when you become successful in your
immigration plans, we will meet each other face-toface here in Canada. So there is really no point in
cheating you, so we won't even think of doing that.
We have been doing business on the internet since
1999, initially selling quality herbal products that would
help people ease some of their physical pains. On the
Alberta
side, we started researching and putting together all

the materials for the immigration ebook.
Tess Rupprecht is
the main author of
the ebooks on
immigration. She
is an immigrant
from Asia who had
the courage to
apply on her own.
She takes care of
the Sales and
Marketing. She
resides in Calgary,
Alberta.
Eric & Allan

Altamero are in
charge of
Technical Support
and Sales in the
Asian region.
Based in Manila,
Philippines.
It took us 2 years to come up with our first

immigration ebook. Since then we have published 3
Canadian immigration ebooks. After only a couple of
months of publication, we become the number # 1
immigration ebook on the internet based on the
ranking of Clickbank.
We wouldn't lie to you that we are a small but
profitable Canadian business. We can offer you lowcost products since we try to keep our expenses low
with no fancy offices or expensive furnishings. We
believe in doing business the old-fashioned way that
includes personalized service to each and everyone.
Immigration is not for everyone, but we want to give
you the chance to know if it is for you or not. It maybe
a dream, but you have to pursue it. And we are glad to
be a part of that dream.
We encourage you to send us an email, talk to us.
Drop us a note. Keep in touch, we never know when
we'll need each other.
May the Lord bless your immigration plans.

Latest Canada Immigration News

The Canadian Government has announced an important adjustment to the pass mark for
skilled worker applicants. Effective immediately, the pass mark under the skilled
worker category of immigration is reduced from 75 points to 67 points. In addition,
all skilled worker applicants in the system who have not yet received a selection decision
will be assessed against a pass mark of 67.
Read the complete press release from the Government Here:

MINISTER ADJUSTS SKILLED WORKER PASSMARK AND PROPOSES CHANGES
FOR ECONOMIC CLASS IMMIGRATION APPLICANTS
AFFECTED BY IRPA TRANSITIONAL RULES
OTTAWA, September 18, 2003 -- The Honourable Denis Coderre, Minister of
Citizenship and Immigration Canada, today announced an important decision and
recommendation pertaining to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). The
Minister announced an adjustment to the pass mark for federal skilled worker applicants.
Also, today he proposed new measures for assessing certain economic class applicants
who applied under the former Immigration Act but were affected by transitional measures
following implementation of IRPA on June 28, 2002.
The Minister's move to adjust the pass mark is a response to Canada's need for skilled
workers. Effective immediately, all new skilled worker applicants and those currently in
the system who have not yet received a selection decision, will be assessed with a pass
mark of 67. (Since the implementation of IRPA and until today, the pass mark was 75.)
"An important objective of IRPA was to create a system that is flexible," said the Minister.
"Today's changes to IRPA reflect this flexibility and our ongoing commitment to listen to
the views of all stakeholders. We are responding to current circumstances in a way that
continues to encourage skilled immigration within the confines of existing resources and a
balanced plan."
Additionally, the Minister is proposing to amend the IRP transition regulations to allow for
all skilled worker and business immigration applicants who applied before January 01,
2002 to be assessed under the selection criteria of the former Immigration Act. Applicants
who do not qualify under the former Act would then be assessed under the current IRPA.
"The government's clear intention has always been to treat applicants fairly," explained
the Minister. "That is why we introduced and then extended transition measures. The
court has suggested that more is required of the government. I have listened to that
message. That is why I am proposing these changes today."
The Minister plans to consult his Cabinet colleagues on the proposed regulatory
amendments at the first available opportunity. The new pass mark takes effect
immediately.

Medical Instructions
Everyone included in your application, whether accompanying you or not, must undergo a medical
examination with a physician on the list of designated doctors. If you are a divorced or separated parent, a
minor child of whom you have joint or sole custody is considered your dependent child, even if he or she
usually lives with the other parent and is not accompanying you to Canada.
Instructions for this examination will be provided after your application has been assessed by a Canadian
Visa officer. Medical instructions will be issued to you at the time of the interview, or, if the interview is
waived, we will mail medical instructions and forms to your mailing address.
After you receive the necessary medical forms, you and your family members must undergo the necessary
medical examinations with one of the doctors on the list of designated doctors unless you and/or your family
members live in a country not included on this list. If you wish to have your medical examinations in a
country not included on this list, please inform us and we will ensure that you receive the appropriate list.
You will be responsible for the costs of the medical examination for all your family members.
Please note that, at the time of medical examination, you and all family members will be required to present
individual passports as evidence of identity. If each of your family members does not already have an
individual passport, you should apply to obtain them now.
The permanent resident visa has the same validity period as the medical results, that is, 12 months from the
date of the first examination or test.

Validity of your permanent resident visa

Your permanent resident visas validity period, that is the period during which you must enter Canada and
settle, is based on the earlier of the following dates:
the expiry date of your or your family members passports, or

the validity date of your or your family members medical exam results
Expiry date of your or your family members passports

You and your family members must have valid passports to immigrate to Canada. Make sure that your
passports are valid for a minimum of 12 months when you submit your application for permanent residence
to our office. If your passports expire within 12 months, you will need to have them renewed and send us a
photocopy (do not include the blank pages).
Make sure that your passport and the passports of your family members contain at least one blank page for
the visa.
Validity date of your or your family members medical exam results
Medical exam results are valid for 12 months after the initial medical examination. If your permanent
resident visa is not issued during those 12 months, you must undergo another complete medical exam.
Example: Mr. Smith submits his application for permanent residence on January 1st, 2002. The validity of
his passport is November 30, 2002. Mr. Smith undergoes his medical exam on June 5th, 2002. His medical
results are then valid for 12 months (until June 5, 2003). Mr. Smiths permanent resident visa will be valid
until November 30, 2002 when his passport expires because it is the earlier of the two dates.
Note: Permanent resident visas cannot be extended once issued. If you do not use your visa
within its validity period and still wish to immigrate to Canada, you will have to submit a
new application and pay new processing fees.

Appendix D
A medical examination is obligatory for yourself, your spouse or common-law partner and your dependent
children, even if they are not accompanying you to Canada. If you are a divorced or separated parent, a
Canadian immigration law defines as inadmissible to Canada a person who is suffering from any disease,
disorder, disability or other health impairment as a result of the nature, severity or probable duration of
which, in the opinion of a medical officer concurred with by at least one other medical officer, they are or
are likely to be a danger to public health or to public safety, or their admission would cause or might
reasonably be expected to cause excessive demands on health or social services. If your family member is
inadmissable, you will also be inadmissible.
You will receive the forms and instructions for the medical examination, as well as the list of designated
doctors in your country of residence, when a positive selection decision is made (usually at the time of the
interview or when the decision is made to waive the interview). It is up to you to make an appointment with
the doctor of your choice. You are also responsible for paying all the fees for the examination.
The permanent resident visa has the same validity as the medical results, that is, 12 months from the date of
the first examination or test.

Hong Kong Certificates of No Criminal Conviction (see below). An original certificate/clearance is required

It is your responsibility to contact the police or relevant authorities to obtain the police certificate or
clearance. You may have to provide information or documentation such as photographs, fingerprints or your
addresses and periods of residence in that country. You may also be asked to pay a fee for the service.
The police in some jurisdictions will forward the police certificates/clearances directly to you, in which case

police certificate/clearance, but will forward it directly to the Consulate General instead. In such cases,
attach a separate sheet to the Checklist stating the police certificates/clearance you have applied for and the
date you sent your application. Should the police certificate/clearance arrive at the Consulate General before
your application is submitted, we will hold it for up to six months. Please note that the Consulate General
will not follow up with other organizations on your behalf should documents go astray in the mail.

Interviews
Most interviews take place in Singapore, though occasionally interviews will be held in other cities within

members aged 19 and over who live with you must accompany you to the interview.
Requests for postponement of interview must be submitted prior to the interview date, and reasons for the
request must be provided. Personal inconvenience or business matters are not normally considered to be
valid reasons for postponement.
Your application will be refused if you do not attend the scheduled interview. It is therefore very important
that you provide us with a reliable mailing address and ensure that you inform us promptly of any changes
of address.

Certain police authorities have special procedures for obtaining police certificates/clearances. They are the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RMCP) and the Royal Hong Kong Police (RHKP). Do not request a
police certificate from Hong Kong or Canada until you are instructed to do so by a visa office. Further
instructions for obtaining a police certificate of no record from these authorities will be sent to you along
with your assessment letter from the Regional Program Centre (Buffalo) and medical forms.
The following list provides some additional information that may assist you in obtaining a police certificate
for certain countries. Bear in mind that this information was accurate at the time of printing; however,
requirements may have changed since that time. If you are unable to obtain an original police certificate
from any country, you must provide an original letter from the police authority verifying that they will not
issue you a certificate.
USA
You must provide:
A copy of our letter requesting that you obtain a Police Record Check (PC-1 letter
enclosed). Affix your own name and address label.

of your identity, or from a private organization engaged in the fingerprinting business. Do
not contact any FBI office for fingerprinting. You may request a blank fingerprint form by
writing to the FBI at this address:
FBI, Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS Division)
Attention: SCU Mod D-2

Certified cheque or money order for US $18 made payable to the U.S. Treasury.
Always specify that you require fingerprints for Canadian Immigration purposes.

Language Proficiency Index "L P I"
Welcome to the LPI Web Site

The purpose of the Language Proficiency Index (LPI) is to provide
information about an individual's competency in English. This information
is used primarily by post-secondary institutions and professional
organizations within British Columbia.
If you would like to find if the LPI could be of use to your school or
association, please contact the LPI Office for a
consultation.
*** If you are planning to write the test MAKE
SURE THAT YOU READ THE "IMPORTANT
NOTICES" BELOW BEFORE GOING ON.

Important Notices for Students (READ THIS):

Jan 3
2006
CELL PHONES:
As of January 1, 2006 examinees will no longer be allowed
to use cell phones to keep track of time during the test.
Cell phones must be turned off completely (not set on
vibrate) and put out of sight until the examinee has left the
test room.
Please bring a watch or other timepiece to the exam if you
http://www.ares.ubc.ca/LPI/index.html (1 sur 4)2006-03-27 05:31:46
wish to keep track of your time.
PHOTOS:
As mentioned in regard to the photos that are to be attached
to your Test Admission Ticket (see here), PHOTOCOPIES
are NOT accepted. Prints on photo-quality paper may be
accepted only if all other quality requirements are met.
Make sure you have read ALL the information provided
here before obtaining your picture.
Note also that it is NOT up to the Test Supervisor to
determine if the photograph is acceptable. If the photo does
not meet the required specifications, you may still be
allowed into the test room - but if the LPI Security
Committee later determines that the photo is not acceptable,
your exam may not be marked.
A reminder: Hats are NOT allowed in the photos that you

submit to us (barring those with religious significance). This
includes those in GRADUATION PHOTOS.
Registration Deadlines:
Registration closes 6 calendar days prior to each test date: e.g.,
for a Saturday sitting, registration will close at midnight the
previous Sunday. REGISTER EARLY as sittings can fill up
two or three weeks before a test date!
A note about cheating:

Several candidates have recently been caught cheating by
plagiarism, (producing a memorized essay), or by
"personation" (having someone else write for them). The
penalties for these are severe, and the latter can result in the
laying of criminal charges under the Criminal Code of
Canada.
See here for more information on cheating and penalties.
E-mail Score notification:

If you supply a (valid) email address when you register
online, you will be sent an email notification as soon as your
test has been marked and the score is ready for viewing on
the Online Score Report page.
(You will need the Registration Number and PIN on your
Admission Ticket to view your scores online.)
The LPI office does not allow a candidate to write the LPI
exam twice in one day. If a candidate is somehow able to
register for two sittings, the second exam WILL NOT BE
MARKED, and the candidate will lose the registration fee.
The LPI office does NOT provide tutoring services. Please

check with the English Department of your University or
College for a list of approved tutors.
A WARNING REGARDING SEMINARS:
From time to time, LPI candidates may receive notices inviting

them to participate in seminars or preparation courses in order
to help them pass the LPI. Candidates should know that LPI
Office and other UBC departments do NOT provide or
endorse such seminars by an outside agency, EVEN WHEN
THEY ARE HELD ON RENTED UNIVERSITY
PREMISES. You should be aware that external agencies may
be using post office boxes as addresses and that you may not
receive anything for your payment.

Most of the applications you will need for immigration and
citizenship services are available on this site. You can
complete the majority of forms included in the application
packages using an Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be
downloaded free of charge. Most forms posted on this site
can be completed in this way. You must then print your
completed form and submit it to CIC.

this format initially. As soon as a fillable version of these forms becomes
available, we will post it on this site.
If you cannot use Adobe Acrobat, you may obtain applications for use outside

abroad and applications for use in Canada by ordering them electronically on the

Working Temporarily in Canada

Overview
Every year, over 90,000 foreign workers enter Canada to work temporarily to
help Canadian employers address skill shortages. Citizenship and Immigration
Canada (CIC) and Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC)
ensure that these workers will support economic growth in Canada and create
more opportunities for all Canadian job seekers.
In almost all cases, you must have a valid work permit to work in Canada.
These steps must be followed before you apply for a work permit:
1. An employer must first offer you a job.
2. HRSDC must normally provide a labour market opinion or "confirmation"
of your job offer. However, some types of work are exempt from this
process.
3. After HRSDC confirms that a foreign national may fill the job, you apply to
CIC for your work permit.
To get a work permit, you must fill out an Application for Work Permit. A work
permit is issued if the application is approved.
You cannot immigrate with a work permit. If you want to come and live in
Canada as a permanent resident based on your work skills or experience, see if
you qualify for the Skilled Worker Program.
Foreign workers may do some jobs in Canada without a permit. Check to see if
you can work in Canada without a permit.
Because of certain free trade agreements, business people may work in Canada
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.html (1 sur 2)2006-03-27 05:42:32
CIC Canada | Work Temporarily in Canada
without a work permit.

The Workers Role: Temporary workers must also meet the requirements that
apply to all temporary residents in order to come to Canada. Find out what you
must do before working in Canada.
The Employers Role: Before a foreign national may work in Canada, you, as an
employer, must check with HRSDC to confirm the job offer you have made to
the foreign worker. Find out what you must do before you can hire a foreign
national.
What HRSDC will do: HRSDCs role is to provide advice to CIC regarding the
impact on the Canadian labour market that the entry of a foreign worker will
have.
The Live-in Caregiver Program
A live-in caregiver is someone who provides care to children, the elderly or the
disabled in a private household. After working two years as a live-in caregiver,
you can apply to be a permanent resident of Canada. Learn how you can apply
for the Live-in Caregiver Program.

Family Class Immigration

Canadian citizens and permanent residents living in
Canada, 18 years of age or older, may sponsor
close relatives or family members who want to
become permanent residents of Canada. Sponsors
must promise to support the relative or family
member and their accompanying family members for
a period of three to 10 years to help them settle in
Canada.
On February 18, 2005,

CIC announced a
change that affects the
sponsorship of
spouses and commonlaw partners applying
from within Canada.
Read more
Under the CanadaQuebec Accord, the province of
Quebec has a role in determining sponsorship eligibility for Quebec residents.
However, the Quebec portion of the process is begun only after Citizenship and
Immigration Canada (CIC) has finished its assessment of your ability to meet
Canadas sponsorship requirements.
If you live in Quebec and want more information about the provinces
immigration requirements please contact Quebec Immigration for information.
You can sponsor relatives or family members from abroad if they are:
spouses, common-law or conjugal partners 16 years of age or older;

parents and grandparents;
dependent children, including adopted children;
children under 18 years of age whom you intend to adopt;
brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces or grandchildren who are orphans;
under the age of 18 and not married or in a common-law relationship; or
you may also sponsor one relative of any age if you do not have an aunt,
uncle or family member from the list above who you could sponsor or
who is already a Canadian citizen, Indian or permanent resident.
A son or daughter is dependent when the child:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/sponsor/index.html (1 sur 3)2006-03-27 05:42:38
is under the age of 22 and does not have a spouse or common-law

partner;
is a full time student and is substantially dependent on a parent for
financial support since before the age of 22, or since becoming a spouse
or common-law partner (if this happened before age 22); or
is financially dependent on a parent since before the age of 22 because
of a disability.
Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class

You may also sponsor a spouse or common-law partner from within Canada if
they have been living with you in Canada. Sponsorship of a spouse or commonlaw partner includes their dependent children whether inside or outside of
Canada.
Find out about the change announced on February 18, 2005 that affects the
sponsorship of spouses and common-law partners from within Canada.
Interim Policy on Civil Marriages between Same-Sex

Persons
Same-sex couples access to civil marriage was extended throughout Canada
on July 20, 2005, under the Civil Marriage Act. While CIC examines the impact
of the Act on its immigration programs, its interim policy, which recognizes the
validity of civil marriages between a foreign national and his or her Canadian
citizen or permanent resident same-sex partner, will continue. At this time, the
policy applies only to the Family Class (which includes the Spouse or CommonLaw Partner in-Canada Class).
Sponsoring a Relative or Family Member

If you want to sponsor any of the above listed relatives or family members, you
may have to meet certain income requirements. If you have previously
sponsored relatives or family members who have received social assistance,
you may not be allowed to sponsor another person. Sponsorship is a
considerable commitment so you should take this obligation seriously.
If you live in any province in Canada except Quebec and wish to sponsor a
relative or family member, you must sign an Undertaking with the Minister of
Citizenship and Immigration. You must also sign a Sponsorship Agreement with
your relative or family member that outlines your mutual commitments to each
other. For Quebec residents, an undertaking will be signed with the province of
Quebec.
Adopting a Child From Another Country

To adopt a child from another country you must go through both the adoption
process and the sponsorship and immigration process. Learn more about
international adoptions.
Applying as a Sponsored Immigrant

If you wish to become a permanent resident of Canada, your relative or family
member in Canada must first apply to sponsor you. You must be one of the
relatives or family members listed above to be eligible for sponsorship.
Both you and your sponsor need to sign a Sponsorship Agreement. The
Agreement outlines your mutual obligations to each other. Your sponsor must
promise to support you and your family members financially for three to 10 years
so that you will not need to apply for social assistance. You must promise to
make every effort to become self-supporting (unless you are elderly.)
There is lots of help out there for those looking for work. Find out more about
Working in Canada.
Applications for Sponsorship and Immigration to

Canada from Abroad
Before your relative or family member can immigrate to Canada, you must
sponsor that person. Your relative or family member must then apply for
immigration. Learn more and print the information guides and applications you
need for sponsorship and immigration.
Applications for Sponsorship and Immigration from

Within Canada
In some cases, you may sponsor a spouse or common-law partner who is
already living with you in Canada. Learn more and print the information guides
and applications you need for sponsorship and immigration.

The Canadian Refugee System

Refugees and persons needing protection are
people in or outside Canada who fear returning to
their country of nationality or habitual residence. In
keeping with its humanitarian tradition and
international obligations, Canada provides protection
to thousands of people every year.
Immigration Minister
announces decision on
Refugee Appeal
Divisionmore
Through its refugee protection system, Canada offers safe haven to persons
with a well-founded fear of persecution, as well as those at risk of torture or cruel
and unusual treatment or punishment. Canadas refugee protection system
consists of two main components:
1. The Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement Program, for people
seeking protection from outside Canada; and
2. Asylum in Canada, for persons making refugee protection claims from
within Canada.
Canada has signed the United Nations 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the
Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. This Convention protects refugees
from being returned to a country where they would face persecution.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada Web sites do not automatically

gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name,
telephone number or e-mail address. We would only obtain this type of
information if you supplied it by sending us an e-mail or registering in a
secure portion of the site.
All personal information created, held or collected by this department is
protected under the federal Privacy Act. This means that at any point of
collection, you will be asked for your consent to collect the information,
and you will be informed of the purpose for which it is being collected and
how to exercise your right of access to that information.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada uses software programs to monitor
network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change
information, or otherwise cause damage. This software receives and
records the Internet Protocol address of the computer that has contacted
our Web site, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We
make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals

Citizenship and Immigration Canada does not normally use cookies to
track how our visitors use this site or to determine sites previously visited.

Official Web Sites

This Web site (www.cic.gc.ca) is the official Web site of the Department of
Citizenship and Immigration. On this site, you will find the official procedures and
kits necessary for applying for citizenship and immigration services and visas.
Supported by Foreign Affairs Canada, Canadian missions and visa offices
located outside of Canada operate Web sites that provide region-specific
information on immigration and citizenship matters.
Impostor Web sites are attempting to mislead members of the public into
thinking that they are official sites of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)
and Foreign Affairs Canada (FAC). These Web sites may attempt to charge you
for services that are otherwise free on the CIC Web site or through the official
Web sites of the Canadian missions and visa offices abroad. They may also try
to charge you for services that you may never receive, or request that you pay
their fees in cash by mail or by making deposits to personal bank accounts.
These methods are contrary to the official procedures for the payment of CIC
services. Sending any personal or biographical information to impostor or nonofficial Web sites could also result in identity theft or fraud.
Applications for visas to Canada (also available on Canadian mission and visa
office Web sites) must be submitted to Canadian missions or visa offices.
For services provided in Canada, check CICs On-Line Services for the
appropriate procedures for payment. For services offered outside of Canada, the
procedures for payment will be provided by the Canadian mission where you
apply.
Web sites operated by accredited immigration representatives provide legitimate
and useful immigration information and services. However, regardless of the
content of any other Web sites, CIC does not endorse, recommend or sponsor
any information or material posted at such sites.
If you have any questions on how to apply officially for CIC services from within
Canada, please call the CIC Call Centre at 1 888 242-2100. From outside
Canada, check with your nearest Canadian mission or visa office.

PREFACE
Sutrisna, a 25-year old from Indonesia, arrived in Canada with limited

English language skills. Soon after his arrival he underwent a language assessment and, based upon his assessment result, was
referred to a Level 6 English language class. Later that same day,
Sutrisna met up with some of his immigrant friends and, eager
to compare his English language ability designation with theirs,
announced that he was at Level 6 in his English language ability
and asked each of them their levels. One answered that she was an
Advanced Beginner and didnt know what Sutrisna was talking about
with all of this talk about levels. Another answered that he knew
about levels because at his English language institute he had been
designated as a Level 4. He went on to advise Sutrisna that Sutrisnas
school must have made a mistake or he had misunderstood, because,
as they both agreed, it was not possible that Sutrisnas English language abilities were better than his.
some (possibly extensive) revisions. The work of those responsible

for the development of the Working Document, however, has held
up well. There was no pressing need for a revised set of Benchmarks.
But the promise was made and improvements were suggested, and
a revision process was begun in early 1999.
This fictional exchange was no doubt similar to many conversations

held in Canada prior to 1996. Things began to change in that year
when the first version of the Canadian Language Benchmarks, the
Working Document, was released and distributed across the country. Since that time, English and French language training institutes
have slowly, but very surely, opened their doors to the common language provided by the Canadian Language Benchmarks. As a result
their learners have benefited.
We would like to take the opportunity presented to us by the publication of this edition of the Canadian Language Benchmarks to thank,
and express a huge debt of gratitude, to ESL/EFL teachers and program administrators who have struggled valiantly with the Benchmarks over the past five years, to understand them first of all and
then to use them to reshape their programming and curricula. Much
of this work has been unrecognized and considered along with so
many other things, as just a part of the job. Thank you for your
efforts and talents.
Less frequently, adult immigrants are faced with the frustration of

having to be reassessed and reclassified when moving from one language training institute to another. In small, but increasing numbers,
immigrants are able to demonstrate to employers, using the Canadian
Language Benchmarks, that they have the language skills needed for
available jobs and to demonstrate to registrars that they have the language skills needed to succeed in non-ESL/EFL courses. In growing
numbers, they are able to compare their current level of ability in
English or French with the ability they need to enter a program of
study, occupation or profession. At long last, immigrants can plot
out for themselves, in advance, their own paths of language learning
to attain their goals.
We would also like to express our thanks to Grazyna PawlikowskaSmith, who provided advice on how we should proceed with our
document revision work. We took her advice; then took her, to act
on that advice. It took Grazyna the greater part of a year to carry
out extensive consultations across the country; synthesize the input
received; make recommendations to the CCLB; and then, act on those
recommendations supported by the CCLB in the document rewrite. An
individual or individuals are rarely recognized on the cover page of a
standards document such as this. We are more than happy to recognize, in this way, Grazynas contribution to this edition, as well as to
the Working Document edition.
It seems such a simple task getting everyone to talk the same

language when describing language ability. However, it has been far
from easy. Thanks, though, to the vision and hard work of many, the
Canadian Language Benchmarks are growing in popularity and use,
and immigrants are beginning to experience the results.
The Board of Directors and staff of the Centre for Canadian Language
Benchmarks (CCLB) are pleased to release this new edition, which
we are calling Canadian Language Benchmarks 2000. The Benchmarks contained herein are assigned an edition number, rather than
defined into posterity, as The Canadian Language Benchmarks. We
are doing so, not because the benchmarks still need improvement,
but because language acquisition is constantly being redefined. Redefinition will necessarily have an impact on the benchmarking of the
language acquired.
We invite you to visit the CCLB website (www.language.ca) regularly to

learn more about CCLB initiatives and related activities.

Central to the entire CLB movement, dare we say revolution,

are the Canadian Language Benchmarks themselves. When first published, the revisions were promised two years down the road. The
view at the time was that, after some exposure, the original Canadian
Language Benchmarks would be found wanting and would need

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Many individuals, ESL programs and other organizations generously

gave of their time and talents to develop the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB). The Board of Directors and the staff of the Centre for
Canadian Language Benchmarks (CCLB) have tried to thank each individual over the course of this important ongoing work. For any oversights we apologize sincerely. All the work has been greatly appreciated.
As many readers know, in 1992, the Government of Canada undertook to enhance and support language training and to address the
adult immigrants individual needs. Through the department now
called Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), the government
funded a project to develop national standards, beginning with consultations with experts in second language teaching and training,
testing and measurement. The consultations confirmed that no one
instrument, tool or set of benchmarks was widely used or appropriate to Canadian newcomers needs. Regional workshops with
ESL/EFL practitioners and administrators, learners, immigrant serving
agencies and government representatives explored the interest in and
affirmed the potential for the development of a set of Benchmarks.
In March 1993, CIC established the National Working Group on Language Benchmarks (NWGLB) to guide the development of the Benchmarks. To CIC and these pioneers we owe our first round of thanks.
Indeed, it was well stated in the original Working Paper reprinted on
the next page.
The Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks sprang from a
November 1996 conference that identified the need for an institution
outside government to take responsibility for the Benchmark project.
In September 1997, the first Board of Directors meeting was held.
The CCLB Charter was received in March 1998 as a non-profit corporation, and its doors opened in Ottawa in June of that year.
With the introduction of Canadian Language Benchmarks 2000, the
CCLB is pleased to recognize many of the original supporters. Many
more, too numerous to name individually, have also joined the revolution. We hope they will continue to provide their advice and expertise.
For the regional consultations, heartfelt thanks go to provincial government funding from:
British Columbia Ministry of Multiculturalism and Immigration;
The province of Alberta Alberta Learning;
The province of Manitoba Manitoba Labour;
Ontario Ministry of Education and Training; and
Nova Scotia Ministry of Education and Culture.
In addition, warm and heartfelt thanks go to the ESL instructors and
administrators who gave generously of their time to provide feedback

for encouragement and inspiration; Tara Holmes for feedback,
insights and moral support; Anna Deluca for editing large parts of the
master document and, of course, all the colleagues, friends and ESL
learners who contributed to the entire project in so many ways.
The majority of the funding for this English as a second language publication came from CIC, with additional funds from Ontario, Alberta,
Manitoba and British Columbia. Special thanks for the publication of
this document are directed to Citizenship and Immigration Canada,

INTRODUCTION
A. Canadian Language Benchmarks: Description

The Canadian Language Benchmarks are:
a descriptive scale of communicative proficiency in English as a
Second Language (ESL) expressed as 12 benchmarks or reference
points;
a set of descriptive statements about successive levels of achievement on the continuum of ESL performance;
statements (descriptions) of communicative competencies and
performance tasks in which the learner demonstrates application
of language knowledge (competence) and skill;
a framework of reference for learning, teaching, programming and
assessing adult English as a Second Language in Canada; (As a
framework, the Benchmarks provide a common professional foundation of shared philosophical and theoretical views on language
education.) and
a national standard for planning second language curricula for a
variety of contexts, and a common yardstick for assessing the
outcomes.
The Canadian Language Benchmarks are NOT:

descriptions of discrete elements of knowledge and skills that
underlie communicative proficiency (e.g., specific grammatical
structures, elements of pronunciation, vocabulary items, microfunctions);
a curriculum guide: they do not dictate local curricula and syllabuses;
tied to any specific instructional method: they state only what adult
ESL instruction should prepare adult ESL learners to do in the area
of communicative proficiency; nor
a test.
B. Features of the Canadian Language

Benchmarks (CLB)
The CLB is learner-centred
ESL learning must be learner-centred, that is, purposeful, relevant
and meaningful to the learner. It must be tailored to the individuals abilities and learning styles.
The CLB is task-based

In syllabus design, tasks are considered to be basic building
blocks, which are both pedagogically and psychologically sound.
The task is an effective planning unit for language instruction.
Tasks in language learning promote the integration of all aspects of
communicative competence, and multilevel language processing.
VIII
Tasks in describing and assessing communicative proficiency

Describing communicative proficiency means describing a persons
ability to accomplish communication tasks.
Assessing communicative proficiency means assessing a persons
ability to accomplish communication tasks.
Accomplishing communicative tasks provides the learner and the
teacher/assessor with demonstrable and measurable outcomes of
performance.
Task-based proficiency descriptions in the CLB have a clear language competence focus to ensure that it is language proficiency, not non-linguistic skills, that are being primarily described.
The CLB stresses community, study and workrelated tasks

The CLB is competency based
competency statements stress what the learner can do.
competency-based instruction stresses performance outcomes or
competencies, as demonstrable application of knowledge and
skills, gained by individual learners.
C. Purpose of the Canadian Language Benchmarks

For the learner
the general aim of the CLB is to describe accurately where the
learners ability to use English places him or her within the
national descriptive framework of communicative language.
The CLB provides a national framework for adult ESL

education
An additional purpose of the Canadian Language Benchmarks is to
provide a commonly understood and articulated national framework
for:
describing and measuring, in a standard way, the communicative
proficiency of ESL learners;
recognizing ESL learners achievements in language learning anywhere in Canada and ensuring the portability of their ESL credentials; and
assisting in the development of programs, curricula and materials
that relate to a consistent set of competency descriptors for all ESL
learners in Canada.
The CLB provides national standards in adult ESL

the CLB standard statements define what the learner should be
able to do at each of the 12 distinct levels (Benchmarks) of communicative proficiency description. The Benchmark levels describe
a clear hierarchy, or a progressive continuum of knowledge and
skills that underlie language proficiency. They allow for a clear
demonstration of learning accomplishment on the continuum,
either within a formal adult ESL instructional sequence, or in an
informal setting.
III.
INTRODUCTION
the CLB standards can help to articulate ESL needs, practices and
accomplishments. They can also facilitate clear communication
throughout the ESL community, and between it and other community/national organizations and agendas (e.g., instructors, learners,
educational programs, assessors and counsellors, language education funding bodies, labour market associations, licensing bodies,
and employers).
Assessing, evaluating and communicating the standards

Achievement of a Benchmark Standard can be assessed, evaluated and reported as:
a score on an externally developed task-based proficiency assessment test or achievement test, depending on the reporting circumstances;
a rubric that describes various levels of knowledge and skills and
usually provides more specific information than the test score;
an evaluation portfolio;
a variety of frequent evaluating techniques in the classroom,
including checklists of outcomes and anecdotal records; and
a combination of non-test evaluation techniques and an externally
developed test.
The external test may be applied selectively to a sample of learners in
an ESL program, or to all learners in the program.
D. What Is a Benchmark?
A Canadian Language Benchmark is a description of a persons
ability to use the English language to accomplish a set of tasks.
Each Benchmark contains a global performance, or a short Benchmark performance profile.
A Benchmark describes four selected competencies in social interaction, instructions, suasion and information.
A Benchmark provides examples of communication tasks, the
accomplishment of which may demonstrate the required standard
of proficiency.
Each Benchmark contains the following parts:
Global performance descriptors, which give a brief account
of a learners general language ability in English as a Second Language as revealed in speaking, listening, reading or writing tasks
at the Benchmark level.
Performance conditions, which are specific conditions that
give us the purpose of communication, setting/place, audience,
topic, time constraints, length of task, assistance allowed, etc.
Competency outcomes and standards, which tell us what a
person can do, examples of communication tasks and text, plus
outcomes that the learner should demonstrate to achieve the
Benchmark.
E. What Does a Benchmark Number Mean?

The Benchmark number is important since a Benchmark level is a
descriptor of what a learner can do at the time of performance
assessment (for placement) or evaluation (exit determination).
In proficiency assessment, a Benchmark level is used by assessors or teacher-assessors for placement of learners in suitable ESL
programs.
The following examples illustrate the way in which it is used:
A learner unable to meet the criteria for Benchmark 1 is assessed
as pre-benchmark and placed in a class whose syllabus objectives aim at achieving Benchmark 1 competencies at the end
of the instructional session.
A learner assessed as meeting the criteria for Benchmark 1 is
placed in a class working toward reaching the competencies of
Benchmark 2 (or higher, depending on the structure of the program).
A learner assessed to be at different Benchmark levels in each skill
(e.g., in speaking, listening, reading, writing) is placed in the best
available class that suits her or his learning needs and personal
goals and that is most likely to facilitate learning and the achievement of outcomes.
In achievement (outcome evaluation), a Benchmark level can
be used by teachers, teachers in cooperation with learners, or even
outside assessors, in outcome evaluations or exit determination at the
end of a session of study. A Benchmark level can be a description of
what the learner can do after participation in the language training
class. Depending on the goals and objectives of a program and its
syllabus, a Benchmark level can be an indicator of whether the objectives of instruction (what the learner will be able to do at the end of
instruction) have been achieved by matching outcomes (what the
learner can do on exit).
Lateral development within a Benchmark
An increase in a Benchmark level may not be the goal of a course of
study. The Benchmark level of a learner or a group of learners may
not show a change after an otherwise successful session of study.
There is ample room for lateral development and progress within
a Benchmark level for every learner. This is particularly true for
higher levels of proficiency.
The higher the initial levels of proficiency (or the Benchmark),
the more time and effort are required to advance from one level
to the next.

INTRODUCTION
F. An Overview of the CLB Framework

The CLB describes a learners communicative proficiency as:
four language skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing
three stages of progression: I (Basic), II (Intermediate), and III
(Advanced)
four specific competency areas: social interaction, giving
and receiving instructions, suasion (getting things done), and
information
A CLB Competency: a general statement of intended outcome of
learning.
The most general classification of language use reveals that the competency areas listed are considered to be universally relevant and are
therefore the bases for the Benchmarks:
social interaction: interacting in an interpersonal social situation, in speech or writing
following and giving instructions: in speech or writing
suasion: persuading others, or reacting to suasion to do something, in speech or writing
information: exchanging, presenting and discussing information,
ideas, opinions, feelings; telling stories, describing, reporting,
arguing, etc., in speech or writing
The CLB competencies are directly observable and measurable performance outcomes.
The following table illustrates how similar competencies require increasing complexity of performance across the three stages of proficiency.
Stage I/
Benchmark 1
Stage II/
Benchmark 6
Stage III/
Benchmark 12
Competency:
Reading
Instructional
Texts
Follow very simple short everyday

instructions in a predictable context.
Follow short common instructions and instructional texts.
Follow extensive, very complex

and/or specialized instructions
and instructional texts.
Sample Task:
Follow one-step instructions in

educational materials in a classroom situation (e.g., print, copy,
circle and underline, fill in,
check and draw).
Explain/convey to someone
health and safety warnings and
instructions for use that are
printed on chemical product
labels (e.g., on dishwasher detergent containers).
Read selected personnel policy

regulations and instructions,
and apply the information to a
specific case study situation.
Competency:
Writing
Recording
Information
Copy words and phrases to

record short information for personal use.
Reproduce and record simple to

medium complexity information
for various purposes (e.g., notes,
summaries, main points and
other formats).
Select and reproduce very

complex information from
multiple sources in a variety
of appropriate formats.
Sample Task:
Copy information from an

appointment note into a calendar
(e.g., name, address, time).
Take point-form notes from onepage written text or from a 10- to

15-minute oral presentation on a
practical topic.
Write an article or paper for a

public forum, presenting a synthesis or overview of an area of
knowledge, based on multiple
pieces of research or other
publications.
Note: Competencies and tasks are only samples indicative of the range of a persons language ability at a particular Benchmark level.

INTRODUCTION
Basic proficiency (Stage I - Benchmarks 1 - 4) is the range of

abilities required to communicate in common and predictable
contexts and within the area of basic needs, common everyday
activities, and familiar topics of immediate personal relevance.
Intermediate proficiency (Stage II - Benchmarks 5 - 8) allows a
person to participate more fully in a wider variety of contexts. It
is the range of abilities required to function independently in most
familiar situations of daily social, educational and work-related life
experience, and in some less predictable contexts.
Advanced proficiency (Stage III - Benchmarks 9 - 12) is the
range of abilities required to communicate effectively, appropriately, accurately and fluently in most contexts, topics and
situations, from predictable to unfamiliar, and from general to
professionally specific, in the most communicatively demanding
Three Proficiency Stages

The CLB scale shows communicative proficiency as three proficiency stages. The
Stages are parallel in that they have the same
structure. The Basic, Intermediate and
Advanced stages derive from a combination
of three factors:
progressively more demanding communication tasks;
progressively more demanding communication contexts; and
progressively higher expectations of effectiveness and quality of communicative
performance.
In each stage, there are four language
benchmarks.
contexts. Learners at this stage have a sense of purpose and audience when communicating (including distance, politeness and
formality factors, appropriate register and style, volume/length
of communication), accuracy and coherence of discourse, vocabulary range and precision.
The adequate mastery criterion, against which advanced proficiency
is judged, is not an abstract traditional norm of the educated native
speaker. Native speaker performance samples clearly demonstrate
that there is a range of ability on different tasks among native speakers as well. There is no one native speaker norm; the norm is also
a range. Therefore, the mastery criterion has to be pragmatically
established by a sampling of performance of competent language
users in accomplishing a range of communicatively and cognitively
demanding tasks in a variety of specified contexts.

HOW
TO USE THIS
A. Who Will Use the Document?

The CLB document is primarily addressed to TESL (Teaching English
as A Second Language) professionals at educational institutions in
Canada: ESL instructors, program planners, curriculum/syllabus
and language assessment designers and developers, and program
administrators.
The CLB standards, however, should fit into the overall context of
larger systems of formal and informal adult education and work
experience (e.g., academic upgrading, labour market skill training,
English in the Workplace, trades and professions, business and entrepreneurship, continuing education, college and university). Therefore, there may be other users of the CLB document. They may
include federal and provincial government policy makers and funders
of adult education and training programs, Boards of Education,
regional boards and advisory bodies, professional and trade associations, immigrant serving organizations, and employers interested in
employee development.
The primary intended beneficiaries of the CLB document are adult
ESL learners. They will become aware of the CLB mostly through their
ESL instructors, student advisors and program coordinators, who, by
working with them, can best share and interpret the main ideas of the
document, and can help them achieve a CLB standard.
B. Organization and Best Use of this Document

The present document presents the CLB framework with sufficient
detail to define competencies, performance indicators and tasks for
12 levels of communicative proficiency, in four language skills, in a
variety of contexts (e.g., community, school, and work).
Individuals are likely to consult only a small section of the CLB document at a time, especially when planning or checking the general fit
of the CLB levels and outcomes with the goals and objectives of their
programs curriculum.
As indicated in the Table of Contents, this document is organized into
the following parts:
1. The Introduction describes the aims, scope, basic concepts and
the organization of the CLB framework. It provides a platform for
the interpretation of the Benchmarks.
2. The How to use this Document section shows some information
search routes.
3. The Benchmarks, the main part of the document, follows through
12 sections. A section is a group of four same-skill Benchmarks
within the same proficiency stage. For example, the Stage I Speaking Benchmarks constitute one section; the Stage III Speaking
Benchmarks constitute another section. The chart below shows all
12 sections.

C. Guidelines for Users

Before you use The Benchmarks part of the CLB document, it is
advisable to read the Introduction.
Next, consult only the proficiency stage that you need. If the learners
are in the Basic Proficiency range (Benchmarks 1 - 4), consult only
Stage I Benchmarks sections following these steps:
1. Look at the Global Performance Descriptors first to get a
sense of the progression in the four levels.
2. Then look at the section on What may need to be taught or
learned to achieve the Benchmark competencies.
3. See specific Benchmarks for Competency Outcomes and
Standards charts.
4. At the end of each section, there is information on monitoring,
evaluating and reporting Benchmark achievement.
Language assessment is often used instead of language testing both for the purposes of placement (placing learners in
appropriate programs) or achievement (assessing learner outcomes against program objectives). At the end of each stage there
is a suggested performance criterion to be used as a point of reference to monitor the progress of the learner in a specific Benchmark. This is neither to be confused with nor used as an
assessment test or evaluation test.

HOW
TO USE THIS
D. Limitations of this Document

In order to make this book a practical reference tool, the contents of
the CLB framework and the discussion of language ability/proficiency,
the competencies and the standards had to be considerably compressed and simplified. Because of this necessity, the basic description of proficiency in this book leaves out much of the richness and
complexity of human communication. Furthermore, it cannot even
embark on discussing the complex and diverse ways in which adults
learn to communicate in a second language. The competencies and
the examples of tasks are only samples indicative of the range of a
persons language ability at a particular Benchmark level. Metaphorically speaking, the four competency areas shown for each Benchmark are only the four visible tips of a much larger iceberg of
communicative ability.

Learner performance is first evaluated globally for its functional effectiveness. This is an overall holistic evaluation of the writers success
in communicating as required by the task. It describes whether the
global purpose of communication has been achieved.
Then, learner performance is evaluated analytically for some qualitative aspects of the communication. The analytic criteria will differ
according to the situation of language use. The instructors will select

measures of English language proficiency, and awards immigration points

Language proficiency is one of the six selection factors for immigrants to
Canada. Immigrants can be awarded points for basic, moderate, or high
abilities in English and French. They are given points based on their abilities
to:
listen
speak
read
write

Before admission to the University of British Columbia, international

students must demonstrate competence in the English language, regardless
of their country of origin or citizenship status. One of the ways to
demonstrate competence is to achieve a minimum of 4L in the CELPIT-A,
CELL, and CELTOP.
Note: The minimum 4L achievement is required for admission to the
University of British Columbia; individual faculties/departments may
require higher levels. (Example: For entry into first-year English
courses, a minimum of 5 is required on the CELPIT-A.)

National Occupational Classification 2001 - Welcome
Welcome!
Welcome to the National Occupational Classification 2001 (NOC 2001) Web
site. Since its introduction in 1992, the National Occupational Classification
system continues to be the authoritative resource on occupational information
in Canada. The NOC is used daily by thousands of people to understand the
jobs found throughout Canada's labour market.
The NOC 2001 provides a standardized framework for organizing the world of
work in a manageable, understandable and coherent system and has been
successfully implemented in a number of major applications over the past
decade. It is based on extensive occupational research, analysis and
consultation conducted across the country, reflecting the changes in the
Canadian labour market.
The NOC 2001 Web site contains the classification structure and descriptions
of 520 occupational unit groups and includes over 30,000 occupational titles.
It also features an intuitive search engine to help you find the information you
need. An online training tutorial is available to assist new users and NOC
trainers.
Quick Search
GO
It is important to note that the Career Handbook Second Edition, the

counselling version of the NOC, is now available. It reflects the revisions
made to the classification system and should be used in conjunction with
NOC 2001.
We hope that your session on the NOC 2001 Web site will be informative and
helpful.

votre arrive au Canada

Durant vos premires semaines au Canada, vous vivrez probablement dans un
logement temporaire, puis, une fois votre adaptation termine, vous voudrez
vous installer de faon plus permanente.
Il existe de nombreux types de logements diffrents au Canada. Les prix varient
considrablement, selon lendroit o vous vivez et votre choix entre une maison
ou un appartement.
Il peut vous falloir plusieurs semaines pour accomplir le processus de recherche
dun logement, qui comprend trois tapes distinctes :
1. dcider combien vous pouvez payer, de combien de pices vous avez
besoin et o vous voulez vivre;
2. trouver lappartement ou la maison qui vous convient;
3. remplir le contrat de location ou dachat.
Arrter vos choix

La dcision de louer ou dacheter un logement est trs importante. Votre choix
dpendra de lendroit o vous voulez vivre, de largent dont vous disposez et du
fait que vous avez un emploi ou non au Canada. La plupart des nouveaux
arrivants au Canada dcident dabord de louer un appartement ou une maison,
ce qui leur permet dpargner en vue dacheter une maison et de dcider o ils
http://www.cic.gc.ca/francais/vivre/fiche-02.html (1 sur 5)2006-03-27 05:44:18
veulent vivre.
Types de logements
Il existe de nombreux types de logements diffrents au Canada.
Chambre louer : Une telle chambre se situe habituellement dans une

maison ou un appartement dont quelquun dautre est le propritaire ou le
locataire et o la cuisine et les salles de bains sont communes.
Studio : Un studio est un petit appartement conu principalement pour
une personne, compos dune grande pice comprenant un espace
cuisine et un espace pour dormir, ainsi quune salle de bains spare.
Autres appartements : La plupart des autres appartements comportent
dune trois chambres coucher. En outre, ils sont tous dots dune
cuisine, dune salle de sjour et dune salle de bains spares.
Duplex : Un duplex est une maison divise en deux logements distincts,
quon peut acheter ou louer.
Maison en range : Il sagit dune petite maison attenante dautres
maisons, quon peut acheter ou louer.
Logement en coproprit : Il sagit dun appartement ou dune maison en
range de proprit individuelle comportant un accs des zones de
proprit conjointe. Les propritaires de tels logements doivent payer
une somme mensuelle pour les frais dentretien comme le dneigement,
la tonte du gazon et les rparations, en plus dimpts fonciers.
Cots
Le prix des logements varie grandement selon lemplacement, lge et la
condition de lappartement ou de la maison ainsi que le march local. Vous
pouvez vous attendre un paiement mensuel allant de 350 $ pour une
chambre, 2 000 $ pour un appartement de luxe ou une maison. Les logements
situs hors des grandes villes cotent habituellement moins cher. Le prix dachat
des maisons varie considrablement en fonction de la ville ou de lemplacement.
Il se pourrait que vous ayez consacrer de 35 50 p. 100 de votre revenu aux
cots de logement, qui devraient comprendre le cot du chauffage, de
llectricit et des autres commodits.
Comment trouver un appartement ou une

maison louer
Les petites annonces des journaux locaux constituent la meilleure source
dinformation sur les logements. Vous pouvez galement demander de laide
vos amis ou parents ou aux organisations daide aux immigrants.
Une autre solution consiste chercher les affiches Vacant ou louer sur
les maisons ou les immeubles rsidentiels du quartier o vous voulez vivre. De
nombreux locateurs affichent aussi des avis sur les babillards des piceries, des
centres communautaires ou des laveries.
Prenez le temps de faire une promenade dans le secteur o vous voulez vivre.
Cherchez voir sil y a de bons endroits de stationnement, des lignes dautobus,
des magasins, des coles et une buanderie (lave-linge qui peuvent se trouver
lintrieur des immeubles logements ou dans un local distinct).
Une fois que vous aurez pris une dcision sur la fourchette de prix, la superficie
et lemplacement de votre logement de prdilection, vous devriez tre en
mesure de trouver plusieurs choix possibles. En rgle gnrale, il faut prendre
un rendez-vous par tlphone pour visiter une maison ou un appartement
vacant.
Appartements lous
Chaque appartement devrait comprendre :
une porte verrou qui donne sur un couloir commun ou sur la rue;
une cuisine dote dun vier offrant leau chaude et froide, dun comptoir,
de tablettes ou darmoires et dappareils lectromnagers comme une
cuisinire et un rfrigrateur;
des placards et de lespace de rangement;
une salle de bains prive dote dun lavabo, dune toilette et dun bain ou
dune douche.
Votre appartement comprendra les commodits essentielles, notamment :
un systme de chauffage;
lclairage et llectricit;
leau courante chaude et froide.
Vous devriez dterminer si le cot de llectricit, du gaz, du chauffage et de

leau est compris dans le loyer ou si vous devrez payer une somme
supplmentaire pour ces services. Le locateur se charge des impts fonciers.
Vous serez responsable des frais de tlphone, dInternet et de tlvision par
cble ou satellite.
Les logements meubls devraient tre dots de lits, de tables, de chaises, de
luminaires, de rideaux, du matriel culinaire de base, dune cuisinire et dun
rfrigrateur. Les logements non meubls peuvent comprendre une cuisinire et
un rfrigrateur, mais cela nest pas toujours le cas.
Maisons loues
Louer une maison ressemble louer un appartement, mais cote plus cher.
Habituellement, les maisons loues ne sont pas meubles.
Si vous louez une maison, informez-vous au sujet des appareils
lectromnagers. Certaines maisons loues ne comprennent ni cuisinire, ni
rfrigrateur, tandis que dautres comprennent des appareils additionnels
comme un lave-linge et un sche-linge.
Le locataire dune maison paie habituellement les commodits et le chauffage.
Signature dun bail

Une fois que vous acceptez de louer un appartement ou une maison, votre
locateur peut vous demander de signer un bail, cest--dire une entente dune
ou deux pages qui dcrit le bien locatif, le prix et les commodits comprises. Le
bail peut aussi indiquer si une place de stationnement ou un espace de
rangement sont inclus et si les animaux domestiques sont permis.
La plupart des baux sont dune dure dun an. Assurez-vous de bien
comprendre qui, de vous ou du locateur, paiera les diverses commodits.
Vrifiez si vous devrez payer une pnalit si vous quittez le logement avant la fin
du bail. Vous devrez effectuer un paiement initial, qui pourrait correspondre aux
loyers du premier et du dernier mois, et vous pourriez avoir verser un dpt en
cas de dommages la proprit, qui vous sera rendu votre dpart si vous
navez caus aucun dommage non attribuable lusure normale.
Lisez attentivement le bail avant de le signer. Si vous ne comprenez pas
certains des termes juridiques qui y sont employs, communiquez avec un
organisme daide aux immigrants ou avec quelquun qui vous faites confiance
et qui est en mesure de vous aider. Une fois sign, le bail constitue un
document lgal.
Achat dune maison ou dun logement en

coproprit
Lachat dune maison ou dun logement en coproprit constitue un engagement
important. Vous pourriez vouloir attendre davoir pass quelques annes au
Canada avant de devenir propritaire.
Au Canada, la plupart des logements sont vendus par lintermdiaire dagents
immobiliers, mais certains sont vendus par les propritaires eux-mmes. Pour
lachat dune maison, vous devriez recourir aux services dun agent immobilier,
qui vous aidera choisir la maison qui vous convient.
Lachat dune maison comporte de nombreux frais cachs, par exemple les frais
davocat ou de notaire et les taxes, sans compter le cot de lentretien, des
commodits, de lassurance, etc. Avant dacheter, assurez-vous de connatre
exactement les cots que vous devrez assumer.
moins que vous nayez suffisamment dargent pour payer la totalit de la
maison, vous devrez obtenir un prt long terme, appel une hypothque,
auprs dune banque ou dun autre tablissement financier.
Lorsque vous aurez choisi la maison que vous voulez acheter, votre agent
immobilier vous aidera prparer une offre crite. Une telle offre comprend
habituellement un dpt. Si le vendeur accepte loffre, elle deviendra une
convention dachat.
Connatre vos droits

Dans la location dun appartement ou dune maison, autant vous que le locateur
jouissez de certains droits lgaux. Des lois vous protgent des augmentations
subites de loyer ou de lexpulsion de votre appartement. En contrepartie, vous
tes dans lobligation de maintenir lappartement ou la maison que vous louez
en bon tat.
Vous avez le droit de vivre lendroit de votre choix. La Charte canadienne des
droits et liberts vous protge de la discrimination fonde sur la couleur, la
religion, le sexe, lge ou les dficiences. Les lois provinciales interdisent
galement la discrimination lendroit des locataires.
Pour obtenir rponse toute question, tlphonez linstance provinciale ou
municipale charge du logement, dont les coordonnes figurent dans la section
de votre annuaire tlphonique consacre au gouvernement provincial ou
municipal, sous la rubrique logement ou rgie du logement.

nationales peuvent vous donner des conseils sur le choix dun logement, que
vous comptiez tre locataire ou propritaire.

Finding Help in Your Community
here are many organizations that provide services designed for

newcomers to Canada. In fact, your local immigrant-serving
organization should be your first point of contact. Many of these
organizations across the country are listed in this directory,
organized by province.
Since Quebec looks after many aspects of its immigration program, this
pamphlet does not attempt to cover services in that province. However, it
does list the telephone numbers for the Ministre des relations avec les
citoyens et de l'immigration that offer many services to newcomers in Quebec.
If you are living in, or planning to move to, Quebec, you may wish to pick up
their guide for newcomers, entitled Vivre au QUBEC!
You may also wish to refer to the other two pamphlets in the back pocket of
your guide: Key Information Sources, and Language Training.
Remember, when you use the telephone, to speak slowly and clearly and
have a pen or pencil and some paper ready to write down information. You
may be referred to another telephone number or be given other useful
information.

Diversit et collaboration. Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens comprennent

How to find information

he Government of Canada has designed this guide for you -- the
new permanent resident of Canada. It includes some basic
information about living in Canada. The guide also contains many
telephone numbers and addresses which should be helpful in the next few
days, and during the next few years. It can refer you to the help you need, or
tell you how to find it.
You may have already received general information about your new country.
But what you'll need to know now is more specific. Where can you take
language classes? What about housing? How do you go about finding a job in
Canada? Whom do you call to find out about schools for your children?
The Welcome to Canada guidebook and pamphlets can help you find the
answers to these questions. Canada is a huge country, and every province is
different. While we can't provide you with all the information you need, we
may be able to refer you to the departments, agencies, and organizations
which can help you. Some may be able to help you directly; others may refer
you to another source of information.
Immigrant-serving organizations can help you to settle into Canadian society,
and many of their services are free. Contact an immigrant-serving
organization to find what services are provided. You may find the addresses
and telephone numbers of some of these organizations in the pamphlet called
Finding Help in Your Community, which is in the back pocket of this guide.
Many of these organizations represent a number of different immigrant
services and groups, so they are a great place to start.
Canada's three levels of government -- federal, provincial and municipal -also offer a variety of helpful programs and services for newcomers. Who
offers these programs and services may vary across Canada, since different
provinces have different immigration agreements with the federal government.
You will find commonly used government telephone numbers listed in the
pamphlet called Key Information Sources, which is in the back pocket of this
guide. To find out about free language training in your area, please refer to
the pamphlet called Language Training, also in the back pocket of this guide.
Since the province of Quebec looks after many important aspects of its
immigration program, this guide does not attempt to cover services in this
province. If you are planning to move to Quebec, you may wish to pick up
their guide for newcomers, entitled: Vivre au QUBEC! You can obtain this
booklet from the ministre des Relations avec les citoyens et de l'Immigration
(MRCI). You will find the MRCI telephone numbers for your area listed in the
pamphlets called Key Information Sources and Finding Help in Your
Community, which are in the back pocket of this guide.
Religious institutions, community groups, ethnic associations and newcomer
clubs which can give you a hand are probably located right in your
neighbourhood. Their telephone numbers can be found in the local telephone
book.
Remember, the information and services provided may vary from one place to
another. To get the most out of this guide and the pamphlets that go with it,
we suggest that you:
get a map of your community;

get a copy of the local telephone book; and
contact the immigrant-serving organizations in your community.
This guide, along with an immigrant-serving organization, can help you

through the steps you need to take to settle. It can help you sort out the
information you are missing and what services you need. The Welcome to
Canada guide also includes a checklist to help you with the things you need
to do first.
Getting around
It is useful to have a map of the area where you will be living. It will help you
to get around and find the services you need. Most book stores, gas stations
and convenience stores sell maps at a reasonable price. You may also be
able to get a map of your community free through your local Chamber of
Commerce or municipal office. You can also look at maps in the library, at no
cost. However, you can't take maps out of the library.
Using the telephone

Canadians like to use the telephone for communicating. They talk on the
telephone everywhere -- at home, in their cars, on the street, in telephone
booths. You will find that telephone books are great sources of information.
Most of the important telephone numbers you need can be found in
alphabetical order in the telephone book. You will receive one from the
company which installs a telephone in your home. You may also be able to
pick one up from a phonecentre. Phonecentres are often located in large
shopping malls. There are also telephone books at the library, and where you
find pay phones.
At home: You pay a basic rate each month for telephone service. This pays
for all local calls. You will be charged extra for each long distance call you
make. Long distance calls are made to telephone numbers outside your local
area.
Away from home: Pay phones in most provinces cost 25 cents per local call,
and you can find them in most public places. If you do not know a telephone
number, dial 411 and ask the operator. There is a charge for using this
number. You may also purchase telephone cards, which can be used to call
anywhere from any telephone, including public telephones.
The telephone book

Telephone books in Canada include white, blue, and yellow pages. The white
pages list home telephone numbers in and around your area, as well as some
businesses. The blue pages list government numbers. The yellow pages list
business numbers -- restaurants, services, stores, and so on. These are listed
by subject or product.
In the front part of the telephone book you will find emergency numbers like
fire departments and ambulance services. The most important number listed
here is an emergency number, 911 in many provinces, which you can call for
help in life-threatening emergencies.
The white pages of the telephone book list home and business numbers in
alphabetical order, from A to Z, using the last name of the person listed. So
look up John Smith under S, for Smith.
The blue pages of the telephone book list telephone numbers for Canadian
government departments, including the federal, provincial, municipal and
regional governments. For frequently used government telephone numbers,
see the pamphlet called Key Information Sources, in the back pocket of this
guide.
The yellow pages are found in a separate telephone book in some of the
larger cities in Canada.
Call centres and touch-tone telephones

Many businesses and government departments receive so many calls that
they have set up "call centres" to help them answer the most commonly
asked questions. Call centres use a series of messages which have already
been recorded to answer your questions. You find these messages by using
the numbers, letters and symbols on the keys of your touch-tone telephone.
The call centre message will tell you which keys on your telephone to press
for the information you need. If you miss it the first time around, the message
will usually tell you which key to press to hear it again. The list of messages is
usually called a "menu." You choose and order the information you want.
You can also enter information into some call centres, using the keys on the
telephone.
Remember: the "pound" key is the one that looks like this [#]. The "star" key
looks like this [*].
Emergency 911
If you fear for your safety, or the safety of someone in your family, you should
call your local emergency number for help. In many Canadian cities this
number is 911. This connects you immediately to ambulances, fire
departments, the police, and other emergency services. In other communities
not equipped with 911 services, dial 0 and ask the operator for help. Other
medical emergency numbers are listed in the first few white pages of the
telephone book. These may include a poison information number, a distress
or sexual assault help line, and a number to call if you or someone in your
family is being abused.
Voice mail
Many Canadians, and most Canadian businesses and departments, have
some form of answering machine or service to take messages for them when
they are away from their phones. The telephone may ring several times, and
then a recorded message will ask you to leave your name and number and a
short message. You will usually hear a beeping sound followed by a silence.
At this point leave your spoken message and remember to speak clearly and
slowly. You may want to repeat your telephone number twice.
Pay telephones
You may want to use a public telephone when you are out, or before you get
your telephone installed. There are many pay telephone booths set up on city
streets, in shopping malls, in airports -- anywhere there are lots of people.
You pay for these telephone calls as you use the telephone. For local calls,
you put in 25 cents (this charge may vary in some provinces) and make your
call. You should have the right number of coins to put in the slot. If the call is
long distance, you will need to put in more money (coins) as you go along,
and an operator, or the message across the screen on the pay telephone, will
tell you how much. Make sure you have lots of coins with you! Eventually, you
may want to get a calling card from a telephone company. This card allows
you to dial in a special code and make calls on public phones without putting
in any money. These calls are then billed on your regular telephone bill at
home.
Directory assistance
If you need help finding a telephone number, you may call for assistance. Call
411 for local numbers, and 0 for overseas numbers. All telephone numbers
have an area code, which refers to the location of the number. You can look
up these codes in your local telephone book. If the call you wish to make is
outside the local area code, it is probably going to be long distance. Call 1
+AREA CODE+555-1212 if you need help to find the number. Remember,
there is a charge for using this service.
Toll-free numbers
Canada is a very large country, and it can be expensive to make calls from
one city to another. Many businesses and government departments use
telephone numbers that start with 1-800, 1-888, or 1-877. This lets you call
them for free, within a province, or within Canada. These are known as tollfree numbers. Simply dial the 1-800, 1-888, or 1-877 number exactly as listed.
Telephone services for people with special needs

Many telephone companies in Canada can provide special telephone
equipment for people with a hearing, speech, visual or physical disability.
Contact your local telephone company to get more information on these kinds
of services and equipment. You can find the name of the telephone company
in your area by looking at a telephone book in a pay telephone. The Customer
Service number should be in the first few pages of the book. In areas served
by Bell Canada, you can also visit a Bell Phonecentre. These are usually
found in large shopping malls.
Using computers
A great deal of helpful information is now available through the Internet, a
world-wide resource and information system. You don't need to own a
computer or have Internet access at home to use it. You can often use the
Internet (or "surf the web," as Canadians like to say), free of charge at your
local public library (you must reserve a time slot), community centre, school,
immigrant-serving organization or Human Resources Development Canada
office. Useful information can be found on various "web sites," which are like
codes or addresses on the Internet.
Public libraries
In most communities across Canada, there are public libraries which can be
used free of charge. Libraries are a resource which many newcomers make
use of to read the daily newspapers, use the internet and borrow books.
Do you have a map of the area where you will be

living?
Do you know how to use a telephone book?

Immigrant-serving organizations
Canada has hundreds of organizations which help newcomers settle into life
in Canada. Many of them represent a number of different multicultural
agencies and associations, so they can help you in several ways. They may
provide language training, or help you find housing, or look for a job. They
may also provide support for women, children, and families who are dealing
with domestic violence. Some of these organizations can provide these
services in your first language, which may be helpful in the first few months.
The addresses and telephone numbers of many of these organizations are
listed in the pamphlet Finding Help in Your Community, found in the back
pocket of this brochure.

Location d'un logement

on nombre de Canadiennes et de Canadiens louent leur
logement, et c'est ce que font la plupart des nouveaux
arrivants, du moins au cours des premires annes. Les
appartements et les maisons louer figurent habituellement
dans la section des annonces classes du journal. Vous pouvez galement
vous promener pied dans un quartier qui vous intresse et voir s'il y a des
affiches indiquant qu'il y a des logements louer. Ne louez pas le premier
appartement que vous visitez. Familiarisez-vous avec ce qui est offert et
comparez les prix, qui peuvent varier beaucoup d'un endroit l'autre.
Il est possible de louer des appartements au mois, mais pour la plupart des
logements, vous devrez signer un bail d'un an. Il s'agit d'un contrat qui vous
lie, vous et le propritaire. Assurez-vous de comprendre exactement ce que
vous devez payer, et ce qui est compris dans la location. Par exemple, devezvous payer le chauffage, ou ces frais sont-ils inclus dans le loyer? Le Canada
est un pays trs froid en hiver, et les cots de chauffage peuvent tre levs.
Avez-vous le droit d'avoir des animaux? Le rfrigrateur et la cuisinire sontils inclus? Devez-vous payer des taxes municipales? De plus, vous devrez
peut-tre verser un dpt de garantie (quivalant parfois au premier mois de
loyer) pour louer l'appartement que vous avez choisi. Lisez le bail
attentivement avant de le signer.
Vous devriez galement vous procurer une assurance de locataire pour
couvrir le cot de remplacement du contenu de votre appartement.
C'est une excellente ide de demander quelqu'un d'un groupe
communautaire local ou de l'organisation d'aide aux immigrants de vous
fournir des renseignements sur le logement. Cette personne pourra
galement vous expliquer les termes juridiques utiliss dans le bail.
N'oubliez pas : ne signez pas de bail si vous prvoyez dmnager bientt.
Vos droits en tant que locataire

Le locataire (la personne qui loue une chambre, un appartement ou une
maison) et le propritaire ont tous deux des droits reconnus par la loi. Il existe
des lois qui vous protgent contre des augmentations de loyer soudaines ou
contre l'expulsion de votre appartement. Vous avez le droit de demeurer o
vous voulez. La Charte canadienne des droits et liberts interdit la
discrimination fonde sur la couleur, les croyances, le sexe, l'ge ou les
handicaps. Les lois provinciales concernant les locataires et les propritaires
vous protgent galement contre la discrimination. Vous avez aussi des
responsabilits. Il est important de conserver l'appartement ou la maison que
vous louez dans le mme tat que vous l'avez trouv. Tlphonez au
ministre provincial ou au service municipal responsable du logement, parfois
appel Rgie du logement, si vous voulez obtenir des renseignements ou de
l'aide. Vous pouvez galement consulter le rglement de votre province
rgissant les propritaires et les locataires. Vous trouverez ces numros dans
les pages bleues de votre annuaire tlphonique. Vous pouvez galement
obtenir des renseignements ou de l'aide auprs des groupes
communautaires.
Achat d'une proprit

Acheter une maison constitue une tape importante, et vous prfrerez peuttre attendre d'tre bien install avant de franchir cette tape. Au Canada, la
plupart des maisons se vendent par l'entremise d'agents immobiliers, mais
parfois certains propritaires le font eux-mmes. Vous verrez peut-tre des
pancartes vendre places devant les maisons. Vous pouvez galement

consulter les annonces classes du journal quotidien.
Lorsque vous achetez une maison, il ne faut pas oublier tous les frais
cachs : commission de l'agent d'immeuble, dans certaines provinces,
commission du notaire ou de l'avocat, taxes foncires annuelles, assurance
de la maison, frais d'enregistrement, taxes diverses que doivent payer les
acheteurs et cots de l'entretien de la maison -- chauffage, lectricit, eau,
gouts, etc. Assurez-vous de savoir exactement quels seront vos cots avant
d'acheter.
Vous pouvez galement vous renseigner sur le Programme d'assurance-prts
pour accdants la proprit, qu'offre la Socit canadienne d'hypothques
et de logement. Ce programme pourrait vous permettre d'acheter une maison
en faisant un dpt initial moins important. La Socit ne prlve qu'un
modique pourcentage qui est inclus dans le montant total de l'hypothque
payer.
Chauffage et lectricit
Que vous soyez locataire ou propritaire, vous devrez vous procurer divers
services de base, comme le chauffage et l'lectricit. Au Canada, certains
foyers sont chauffs au gaz, d'autres au mazout ou l'huile et d'autres encore
l'lectricit. Le plus souvent, il y a un ou deux fournisseurs importants par
rgion, et vous trouverez leur nom dans les pages jaunes de votre annuaire
tlphonique. Regardez sous la rubrique Gaz , Chauffage -entrepreneurs , Mazout et Hydro-lectricit -- Services publics .
Installation du tlphone
Vous voudrez probablement faire brancher rapidement votre tlphone de
faon pouvoir avoir accs rapidement aux personnes et aux services dont
vous avez besoin, sans quitter le confort de votre foyer. Bell Canada exploite
la plupart des services tlphoniques du Canada, mais vous pourrez trouver
le nom de la compagnie de tlphone de votre rgion dans l'annuaire
tlphonique. Le numro du service la clientle est habituellement indiqu
dans les premires pages de l'annuaire. Vous pouvez galement demander
obtenir le service en vous rendant dans une des tlboutiques de la
compagnie de tlphone, situes dans les grands centres commerciaux de la
rgion.
Vous pouvez soit louer un tlphone auprs de votre compagnie de
tlphone et payer chaque mois, soit en acheter un. Le cot des appels
locaux est couvert par les frais de service mensuels, qui s'ajoutent au cot de
location du tlphone. Les appels interurbains et l'tranger ne sont pas
couverts par ces frais mensuels, et peuvent tre trs coteux. De
nombreuses compagnies de tlphone offrent des programmes spciaux qui
peuvent rduire le cot des interurbains. Les cartes d'appel, qui peuvent tre
utilises pour appeler n'importe o partir de n'importe quel tlphone, y

compris les tlphones publics, sont un moyen conomique de rduire les
frais d'appels interurbains.
N'oubliez pas : le Canada est un trs grand pays; c'est pourquoi mme
lorsque vous appelez un abonn d'une autre localit de la province, des frais
d'interurbain peuvent s'appliquer.
Meubles
Vous aurez probablement besoin de meubles et d'appareils lectromnagers.
Vous pouvez en acheter des neufs, ce qui peut coter trs cher, ou attendre
que les magasins offrent des soldes et acheter les articles au fur et mesure.
Vous pouvez galement acheter des meubles et des lectromnagers
usags, ce que font de nombreux Canadiens. Vous trouverez les rubriques
d'articles et de meubles vendre dans les annonces classes du journal.
Vous pouvez galement visiter les magasins de meubles usags, les ventes
de charit organises par les paroisses ou les organisations communautaires
locales, de mme que les ventes de garage. L'organisation d'aide aux
immigrants de votre localit pourra vous aider en vous fournissant des noms
et des adresses.

L'organisation d'aide aux immigrants de votre localit est probablement la
meilleure source d'information. Vous pouvez galement consulter le ministre
provincial ou le service municipal responsable du logement. Vous trouverez
leurs numros dans les pages bleues de votre annuaire tlphonique; ils ont
peut-tre un numro de renseignements gnraux.
La Socit canadienne d'hypothques et de logement distribue une brochure
gratuite appele L'achat d'une maison, tape par tape. Elle a galement mis
sur pied un Centre de documentation, o elle fournit des renseignements sur
le march de la location et du logement au Canada. Pour plus de
renseignements, composez le numro sans frais : 1 800 668-2642. Si vous
voulez consulter Internet, voici l'adresse : www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca

Applying for a Social Insurance Number card

Applying for the Canada Child Tax Benefit
Applying for the GST/HST Credit
Applying for a Social Insurance Number card

pplying for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) card is one of the
most important things you will do after coming to Canada. You
will need one to work here, to open a bank account or to obtain
your tax credit. This number tells the government who is
earning money, paying taxes, paying into pension plans, and using
government services. Your employers will ask you for this number.
To apply for one, simply go to your nearest Human Resources Development
Canada office (listed in the blue pages of your telephone book). As a new
immigrant, you will need to provide the original copy of your Confirmation of
Permanent Residence (IMM 5292) or your permanent resident card. If the
name you are using to apply for your SIN card is different from the one found
on the document you are providing, you must also provide either a marriage
certificate or a change of name document.
Remember: You must make sure that the name on all documents is the same
name. This name must always belong to the same person, and it must be
spelled correctly.
Applying for the Canada Child Tax Benefit

If you have children under 18, the Government of Canada may be able to help
you with some of the costs of raising them. This monthly tax-free payment is
called the Canada Child Tax Benefit. The amount of the benefit is based on
several factors, such as: your family income, the number of children you have
and their ages, and your province or territory of residence. When you apply,
you must provide proof of your Canadian immigration status, and proof of
birth for any of your children born outside of Canada.
To apply for the Canada Child Tax Benefit, you must have filed an Income
Tax and Benefit Return. If you were not residents of Canada in time to fill out
a return, you will need to complete a separate form to declare your world
income. You can get these forms and more information on the Canada Child
Tax Benefit by calling the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency's toll-free
enquiry service at 1-800-387-1193, or visit www.ccra.gc.ca/benefits
If you live in Quebec, Canada Customs and Revenue Agency will
automatically send the Rgie des rentes du Qubec all information needed to
register your children for the Quebec family allowance.
Applying for the GST/HST Credit

The GST is a tax that you pay on most goods and services sold or provided in
Canada. In some provinces, the GST has been blended with the provincial
sales tax and is called the HST. The GST/HST Credit helps individuals and
families with low and modest incomes offset all or part of the GST or HST that
they pay. To be eligible for the credit, you must be a resident of Canada and
you must be 19 years of age or older; if you are under 19, you are only
eligible for the credit if you have a spouse or common-law partner or you are
a parent.
To apply for the GST/HST Credit, complete Form RC151, Goods and
Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) Credit Application. You can
find this form in the back pocket of this brochure. You can also get the form
and more information about the GST/HST Credit by calling the Canada
Customs and Revenue Agency's enquiry service at 1 800 959-1953 or visit
www.ccra.gc.ca/benefits. To continue receiving the credit each year, you will
have to file an Income Tax and Benefit Return and apply for the credit on that
return.

Faire une demande de carte d'assurance-maladie

e Canada offre l'un des meilleurs programmes d'assurancemaladie au monde. L'assurance-maladie signifie que vous n'avez
pas payer directement pour la plupart des services de sant.
Vous les payez par l'intermdiaire de l'impt et des taxes. Lorsque
vous utilisez ces services, vous n'avez qu' prsenter votre carte d'assurancemaladie.
L'assurance-maladie est un service national, mais chaque province
administre son propre programme. D'une province une autre, il existe des
diffrences sur le plan de l'admissibilit. Dans certaines provinces, vous
devez payer des frais mensuels peu levs pour tre couvert par l'assurance.
Il est important que vous prsentiez une demande de carte d'assurancemaladie le plus tt possible, puisque la plupart des provinces imposent une
priode d'attente avant que vous puissiez profiter des avantages de
l'assurance. C'est la province o vous vivez qui vous fera parvenir votre carte
d'assurance-maladie. Vous pouvez obtenir un formulaire de demande au
cabinet du mdecin, l'hpital, dans les pharmacies ou auprs des
organisations d'aide aux immigrants. Vous pouvez galement vous procurer
les formulaires auprs du ministre provincial de la Sant, dont vous
trouverez le numro dans les pages bleues de votre annuaire tlphonique.
Vous devrez prsenter une preuve d'identit, comme votre certificat de
naissance, votre passeport ou le formulaire de confirmation de la rsidence
permanente (IMM 5292). Vous pouvez prsenter aussi la carte de rsident
permanent.
Les rsidents permanents de la Colombie-Britanique, de l'Ontario, du Qubec
et du Nouveau-Brunswick doivent attendre une priode de trois mois avant
d'tre admissibles. Au cours de cette priode, vous devrez faire une demande
d'assurance prive temporaire. Les compagnies d'assurance prive sont
rpertories dans les pages jaunes de l'annuaire tlphonique,
habituellement sous la rubrique Assurance . Les rgimes privs
d'assurance-maladie couvrent galement certains services qui, autrement, ne
sont pas couverts par le rgime d'assurance-maladie gouvernemental,
comme les soins dentaires ou une chambre d'hpital prive. Certains
employeurs offrent galement une assurance supplmentaire moyennant une
dduction mensuelle sur votre chque de paye. Dans la plupart des
provinces, l'assurance-maladie ne couvre pas le cot des mdicaments
d'ordonnance, des verres correcteurs, des soins dentaires et des services
d'ambulance.
Les revendicateurs du statut de rfugi dans le besoin et les rfugis
demeurant dans des provinces o il y a une priode d'attente de trois mois
pour tre admissible aux soins de sant peuvent recevoir des soins de sant
d'urgence de mme que des soins essentiels. Les cots de ces services sont
couverts par le Programme fdral de sant intrimaire.
N'oubliez pas : chaque membre de votre famille doit possder sa propre carte
d'assurance-maladie. Vous devez toujours apporter votre carte avec vous
lorsque vous allez chez le mdecin ou l'hpital.
Ne permettez jamais personne d'utiliser votre carte d'assurance-maladie.
Vous tes la seule personne pouvoir l'utiliser, et vous pourriez tre priv
des avantages qu'elle vous offre si vous laissiez quelqu'un d'autre l'utiliser.
Vous pourriez galement faire face des accusations criminelles et tre
renvoy du Canada.
Trouver des mdecins et des cliniques mdicales
La plupart des Canadiennes et des Canadiens ont un mdecin de famille et

un dentiste. Demandez une organisation d'aide aux immigrants ou
quelqu'un que vous connaissez de vous en recommander un. Vous pouvez
galement chercher dans les pages jaunes de l'annuaire tlphonique sous la
rubrique Mdecins et chirurgiens ou Dentistes . Le Canada compte
galement un grand nombre de cliniques mdicales qui offrent divers services
de sant sans rendez-vous dans des cas d'urgence sans gravit. Vous en
trouverez une liste dans les pages jaunes sous la rubrique Cliniques ou
Cliniques mdicales .
Aide d'urgence
Si vous avez besoin d'une aide mdicale d'urgence, rendez-vous rapidement
l'urgence de l'hpital le plus prs de chez vous, ou composez le numro
d'appels d'urgence 9-1-1.
Si vous avez une maladie grave, comme le diabte, l'hypertension ou une
allergie aux mdicaments, informez-vous auprs de votre mdecin ou de
l'hpital au sujet des mdailles et des bracelets Medic Alert. En cas
d'urgence, on y retrouve des renseignements utiles concernant votre tat.
Vaccination des enfants

La vaccination des enfants est une des faons les plus efficaces que nous
avons de protger tous les Canadiens, jeunes et vieux, contre des maladies
infectieuses graves. Parmi ces maladies, signalons la diphtrie, la polio et le
ttanos. Votre enfant reoit une petite dose de vaccin qui l'aidera acqurir
une immunit contre ces maladies. Vous pouvez faire vacciner votre
enfant chez votre mdecin ou le pdiatre, ou dans une clinique de sant
publique. On vous remettra un carnet de vaccination, que vous devrez peuttre prsenter l'cole de votre enfant.
Au Canada, les enfants sont vaccins selon un calendrier tabli. Par
exemple, on les vaccine l'ge de deux mois, de quatre mois, de six mois, et
ainsi de suite. Demandez votre mdecin ou votre pdiatre un exemplaire
de ce calendrier, ou communiquez avec le service municipal responsable de
la vaccination dans les coles, dont le numro se trouve dans les pages
bleues de votre annuaire tlphonique. Ce calendrier varie lgrement d'une
province une autre. Vous trouverez peut-tre aussi un service d'aide
tlphonique central sous Vaccination dans les pages blanches de votre
annuaire tlphonique.
Vaccination des adultes

Si vous n'avez pas t vaccin contre les maladies vitables avant de venir
au Canada, vous devriez communiquer sans tarder avec votre mdecin ou
avec la clinique de sant publique de votre localit.
Surveillance mdicale
Au cours de l'examen mdical que vous avez subi avant de devenir un
rsident canadien, on vous a peut-tre dit que vous deviez subir un examen
mdical de suivi une fois que vous seriez au Canada. Il s'agit de la
surveillance mdicale des personnes qui ont une maladie infectieuse non
volutive. Vous devez aviser par tlphone les autorits de la sant publique
de la province ou du territoire o vous vivez dans les 30 jours suivant votre
admission au Canada. Vous trouverez ce numro de tlphone dans les
pages bleues de votre annuaire. Cela est trs important pour votre propre
sant et pour celle de vos compatriotes canadiens.
Grossesse
Au Canada, toutes les mres qui travaillent ont droit un cong de maternit.
Si vous tes enceinte et que vous devez arrter de travailler pour un certain
temps, vous pouvez obtenir un cong pendant une certaine priode. Vous
pourriez galement avoir droit un cong pay ou des prestations de
maternit. Vous pouvez obtenir plus de renseignements ce sujet en
communiquant avec le ministre provincial responsable du travail ou avec un
bureau de Dveloppement des ressources humaines Canada.
Pour obtenir de l'aide et des renseignements avant ou aprs la naissance du
bb, communiquez avec votre centre local de services communautaires ou
avec l'hpital. On y offre des cours prnataux, une aide mdicale, des soins
infirmiers, et c'est une excellente faon de rencontrer d'autres nouvelles
mamans. On vous informera galement de la faon d'enregistrer la naissance
auprs des autorits provinciales; vous recevrez ainsi un certificat de
naissance officiel. Vous pourrez aussi obtenir des renseignements sur le
contrle des naissances et les avortements.
Avez-vous prsent votre demande de carte

d'assurance-maladie?

Les principaux numros de tlphone pour les appels d'urgence se trouvent
au dbut des pages blanches de votre annuaire tlphonique. Vous pouvez
trouver le numro des mdecins et des cliniques dans les pages jaunes. Le
ministre de la Sant de votre province et Citoyennet et Immigration Canada

peuvent galement vous faire parvenir des documents d'information sur la
sant. Sant Canada, dont le numro figure dans les pages bleues de
l'annuaire tlphonique sous la rubrique Gouvernement du Canada, peut
vous faire parvenir des brochures gratuites portant sur de nombreux sujets.

Papers and other identity documents

fficial papers which relate to who you are and where you come from
are extremely important. They can be hard to replace if you lose
them. These include health records, birth certificates, Records of
Landing (IMM 1000), Confirmation of Permanent Residence Forms
(IMM 5292) and Permanent Resident Cards. If you are living in Quebec, you
will have a Certificat de selection du Qubec (CSQ). You will need these
papers to apply for important government services and benefits, and to obtain
a Social Insurance Number card and Health Insurance Card. So it is very
important to keep them in a safe place at all times, and not to lend them to
your friends or let someone else use them. You could lose your benefits if you
give your cards to someone else.
It is not necessary to carry your passport, Record of Landing, Confirmation of

Permanent Residence Form or your Permanent Resident Card, around with
you, but it is important to have a couple of pieces of ID (identification) with you
at all times. Any two of the following would be good: a driver's licence, a
photocopy of your permanent resident papers (the original should be kept in a
safe place or in a safety deposit box at the bank), a Social Insurance Number
card, a Health Insurance Card, and a credit card.
Using public transportation

Getting around in Canada is fairly easy. Most cities have urban transportation
systems, including buses, streetcars, and trains, and some of the larger cities
also have subways.
You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes. Some let
you pay with cash; others require tickets. If you don't have a ticket for the bus,
you must pay with the right amount of money (exact fare). This is because the
driver does not carry any change. Once you get settled, you may want to buy
a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money. You can buy subway
tickets at the subway station.
If you have to take several buses or the subway for a single trip, you do not
need to pay each time. Simply ask the driver for a transfer, or pick one up
from the machines on the subway platform.
If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar, just ask someone,
or follow the crowd. It's usually at the front of the bus, where you show your
pass to the driver. When using public transportation, Canadians line up. First
come, first served, is a common approach to many activities in Canada.
Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit
company in your area, and there may also be a telephone information line.
You may want to ask someone for the name of the transit company where
you live, and then look it up in the white pages of your telephone book.
Where to stay
For the first few weeks or months, you will probably want to find some
temporary housing while you look for a more permanent place to live. Hotels
can be quite expensive, so you may want to rent a furnished room or
apartment at first.
To help you in your search, you could check the classified ads in the daily
newspaper in your area. Look under Apartments or Houses for Rent. You
should also talk to the immigrant-serving organizations in your community.
They might be able to help.
Canadian money
Canada's currency is the dollar. There are 100 cents in a dollar. Canadian
coins include the penny (1 cent), nickel (5 cents), dime (10 cents), quarter
(25 cents), a one-dollar coin known as the "loonie," and a two-dollar coin
called a "toonie." The most common paper bills are $5, $10, $20 and $50.
Chances are that when you get to Canada you will have some Canadian
money with you. If you don't, you may wish to exchange a small amount of
your native currency for some Canadian money as soon as you arrive. Most
airports have foreign exchange offices which can do this for you. Try not to
exchange too much, however, since the rate of exchange (how much your
money will buy) may not be as good as at a local bank.
Shopping
In the first few days you may need a few supplies, like food and extra clothing.
Stores in Canada may be set up a little differently than what you have
experienced in other countries.
Most Canadian stores have central cashiers where you pay for your goods,
but they can be hard to find. Grocery stores usually have rows of cashiers at
the entrance to the store, and you bring your goods to the cash, line up and
pay. Department stores, which sell a variety of products, are sometimes set
up this way too. Other stores have cashiers set up in different places around
the store, and you pay at the nearest cashier. You will receive a paper receipt
for whatever you buy, and this is your "proof of payment."
Many stores in Canada have metal shopping carts where you can put your
purchases as you make your way through the store to the cashier.
Many Canadian stores are grouped together in large shopping malls, so you
can do all your shopping in one place. Remember that each store has its own
cash register where you pay for your purchases.
Many places in Canada also have large open-air markets, where you can buy
fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers. You pay for your purchases as
you go along, from the farmers at each "stand."
Going out of town

Buses, trains and planes travel throughout Canada. For out-of town trips,
contact travel agencies, airline companies or bus lines. For information about
train travel, contact Via Rail. The telephone numbers are listed in the yellow
pages.
Have you got any Canadian money?
Are your identity papers in a safe place?

Do you have some form of identification with
you?

Obtenir un permis de conduire

our conduire une voiture au Canada, vous devez tre titulaire
d'un permis de conduire valide. Ce permis est dlivr par la
province ou le territoire o vous vivez. Votre permis de conduire
tranger peut tre valable pendant une courte priode aprs
votre arrive au Canada, mais vous devrez ventuellement passer un
examen de conduite si vous voulez continuer conduire au Canada. Cela
vous permettra d'apprendre le code de la route du Canada. Vous pouvez
aussi obtenir un permis de conduire international. Pour en savoir davantage,
communiquez avec le ministre des Transports de votre province ou avec
l'organisme provincial d'immatriculation des vhicules.
Certaines entreprises prives offrent des cours de conduite, moyennant des

frais. Vous pouvez prendre quelques cours avant de subir votre examen.
Consultez les pages jaunes sous la rubrique coles de conduite .
N'oubliez pas : la loi exige que vous ayez sur vous votre permis de conduire
lorsque vous conduisez. Vous devez galement tre en possession de
l'immatriculation de votre voiture et du permis du vhicule. Vous devez aussi
tre assur et il est conseiller galement d'avoir sur vous un certificat
d'assurance automobile.
Achat d'une automobile

Qu'on les achte neuves ou usages, les automobiles cotent cher. Assurezvous de pouvoir payer l'entretien, l'essence, les versements mensuels, le cot
de l'immatriculation et de l'assurance. Certains Canadiens optent pour le
crdit-bail. La location peut se rvler pratique, mais les cots cachs sont
nombreux -- frais d'administration ou taxes de manutention. Quelle que soit
l'option que vous choisissez, assurez-vous de comprendre exactement
quelles sont vos obligations financires.
L'assurance automobile est une autre dpense importante. Toutes les
voitures doivent tre enregistres auprs du bureau d'immatriculation des
vhicules de la province o vous vivez, et elles doivent tre assures. C'est la
loi. L'assurance automobile peut tre trs coteuse, mais elle vous protge,
vous-mme et les autres conducteurs, en cas d'accident. Vous devez acheter
de l'assurance auprs des compagnies d'assurance prives. Vous trouverez
leur numro de tlphone dans les pages jaunes sous la rubrique
Assurance . Dans certaines provinces, on peut aussi acheter de
l'assurance auprs de socits provinciales. Magasinez un peu pour obtenir
les meilleurs tarifs. Si vous n'avez jamais eu d'accident, vos primes
d'assurance seront moins leves. Dans la plupart des provinces, vous
pouvez obtenir plus de renseignements en communiquant avec le Bureau
d'assurance du Canada ou en consultant Internet l'adresse : www.ibc.ca
Ceinture de scurit
Vos passagers et vous-mme devez attacher votre ceinture de scurit en

anada is governed by an organized system of laws. These laws are

created by governments which are chosen freely by the people.
The law in Canada applies to everyone, including the police,
judges, politicians, and members of the government. The main
purposes of our laws are to provide order in society, to provide a peaceful
way to settle disputes, and to express the values and beliefs of Canadian
society. Everyone in Canada, whether a citizen or a permanent resident, has
equal access to the justice system.
Police
The police are there to keep people safe and enforce the law. You can ask
the police for help in all kinds of situations -- if there's been an accident, if
someone has stolen something from you, if you are a victim of assault, if you
see a crime taking place, if someone you know has gone missing, etc.
There are different types of police in Canada, including provincial police
departments and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who enforce federal
laws. Remember, the police are there to help you. Don't hesitate to call 911 or
0 for the operator to contact your local police force in an emergency.
If for some reason you are questioned by the police or arrested, do not resist.
Remember, in Canada, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Communicate as clearly as possible and look directly at the officer. Be ready
to show some kind of identification. If you are taken into custody you have the
right to know why and to have a lawyer and a translator, if needed. Under
Canadian law, it is a serious crime to try to bribe the police by offering money,
gifts or services in exchange for special treatment.
Legal services
If you need a lawyer to protect your interests in court, then you can hire one,
for a fee. You may also be entitled to free legal services, or "legal aid,"
depending on your income. You will find the numbers for provincial legal aid in
the booklet called Key Information Sources in the back pocket of this guide.
An immigrant-serving organization will also be able to tell you where and how
to obtain these services.
Children's rights
Parents in Canada have a legal duty to provide their children with the
necessities of life until they reach age 16. It is illegal in Canada to abuse your
children, either physically, psychologically, or sexually. All forms of child
abuse are serious crimes. Abuse can include spanking children enough to
cause bruises, terrorizing or humiliating them, any kind of sexual contact, and
neglect. Police, doctors, teachers and children's aid workers will take action if
they think children are being harmed. In serious cases, children can be taken
away from their parents. Some cultural practices are not acceptable in
Canada. For instance, all forms of female genital mutilation (FGM) are
prohibited under Canadian law.
Women's rights
In Canada, men and women are equal. They have the same rights, as
outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Discrimination
against women and violence towards women are both against the law.
Women who are abused by their husbands can seek help for themselves and
their children in community shelters. They are also entitled to legal protection
to keep them safe.

There are a number of organizations in Canada which work to safeguard and
promote the rights of women, and some of these organizations work to help
immigrant women in particular. Your local immigrant-serving agency will be
able to provide you with the names of these organizations. Information on
legal rights and shelters can be found near the front of your telephone book
under "Distress Centres," "Child Abuse," or "Sexual Assault."
Domestic violence
Violence towards any person -- man, woman or child -- is against the law in
Canada. No one has the right to hit or threaten people or to force them into
sexual activities. The law applies no matter who it is -- wife/husband, partner,
girlfriend/boyfriend, parent, or another relative.
If you or your children are being abused, call the police at 911 or your local
emergency number. They can help you find medical help or drive you to a
safe place, if you wish. Emergency shelters, counselling and free legal advice
are available for adults and children who are being abused. There are also
Rape Crisis and Sexual Assault Support Centres listed in the first few pages
of the telephone book. They are there to help you. In many Canadian cities
there are also 24-hour-a-day telephone help lines, if you just need someone
to talk to. They can also refer you to the help you need.
Many community centres also offer counselling for abusive partners who are
seeking help, for families who wish to stay together, and for children.
Seniors' rights
A senior citizen is someone 65 years of age or older. If you are a senior, you
may be entitled to certain government benefits, such as the Old Age Security
pension (OAS) and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). In order to
qualify, you must meet certain residence requirements. You may also be
eligible for old age security benefits from your former country. Some
provinces supplement these plans, and offer extra benefits, such as
prescription drug plans. For information, call 1-800 277-9914 (toll-free). If you
have a hearing or speech impairment and you use a TDD/TTY device, please
call 1-800 255-4786. The French toll-free number is 1-800 277-9915.
Many businesses also offer special rates for senior citizens, or special areas
where seniors can be served more comfortably.
Do you know that violence towards any person -man, woman or child -- is against the law in
Canada?
Do you know that the practice of female genital
mutilation (FGM) is against the law?

Canada Post
Canada Post
anada's mail is handled by the Canada Post Corporation. To send
mail, use a postage stamp. You can buy postage stamps at any
post office. They are also sold in many drug stores, hotel lobbies,
airports, railway stations, bus terminals and some newsstands. The
cost of the stamp is based on the weight and size of the letter or package,
and where your mail is going. When you send something to an address in
Canada, remember to include the six-digit postal code for that address, and
also a return address. This will speed up delivery. If you are sending
something overseas, you must use the special code for that country. You can
find these at a post office.
Mail your letter or small package either at a post office or in the red Canada
Post mail boxes you will find on streets and in shopping malls all across
Canada. Take large parcels to a post office.
Canada Post offers many other services too, such as express delivery, postal
money orders and insurance for very important mail. This insurance can
protect your mail against loss or damage. Express delivery is more expensive
than regular letter mail. Check the rates at the nearest Canada Post office.
There are also private special delivery or courier services. Look these up
under "Courier" in the yellow pages of the telephone book. Mail is distributed
daily from Monday to Friday, except on official holidays. This includes home
delivery, to post office boxes, or to community mail boxes. If you want to send
a telegram, look up "Telegram Services" in the yellow pages for more
information.

From time to time you may wish to leave Canada to visit your relatives. As a
permanent resident you must meet certain residency obligations to maintain
your status. To comply with residency obligations you must accumulate two
years of physical presence in Canada in every five-year period. Failure to
comply with residency obligations may result in the loss of permanent
residence status. Before you go, visit the CIC Web site at www.cic.gc.ca/
english/irpa/fs-residents.html or telephone the CIC Call Centre for more
information.

Banques et autres tablissements financiers

a plupart des Canadiens dposent leur argent la banque. Un
compte de banque est un endroit sr o garder votre argent. Les
banques vous permettent de faire des chques, d'accumuler de
l'intrt, de faire des demandes de crdit et de payer vos factures.
Ce type de service financier est galement offert par les caisses populaires,
les coopratives de crdit et les compagnies de fiducie.
Ouverture d'un compte

La plupart des banques offrent divers types de comptes, et vous pouvez
discuter avec leurs reprsentants du type qui convient le mieux vos
besoins. Pour ouvrir un compte, vous devez tre prt fournir certains
renseignements personnels, de mme que diverses pices d'identit, comme
votre passeport ou votre numro d'assurance sociale. La banque a besoin de
votre numro d'assurance sociale aux fins de l'impt sur le revenu. Ces
renseignements sont exigs de tous, par toutes les banques.
N'oubliez pas : les caisses d'pargne postale n'existent pas au Canada.
Utilisation des guichets automatiques

La plupart des Canadiennes et des Canadiens utilisent maintenant les
guichets automatiques bancaires (aussi appels GAB) pour faire la plupart de
leurs transactions. C'est comme une banque libre-service ouverte 24
heures sur 24, sept jours sur sept. Avec votre carte bancaire, vous pouvez
utiliser le guichet automatique pour retirer de l'argent de vos comptes, payer
vos factures, dposer des chques, etc. Vous aurez peut-tre payer des
frais, peu levs, pour utiliser ce service.
Vous pouvez obtenir une carte auprs de votre banque. Vous devrez choisir
un numro d'identification personnelle (NIP) vous permettant d'avoir accs
vos comptes. Ne prtez votre carte bancaire personne et ne dvoilez
personne votre NIP. Ne laissez personne regarder le numro que vous
composez lorsque vous tes au guichet. Ainsi, votre compte (et par le fait
mme, votre argent) sera en scurit.
On peut aussi utiliser les cartes bancaires pour faire des achats dans de
nombreux magasins. L'argent est dbit directement de votre compte
bancaire lorsque vous utilisez votre carte. C'est ce qu'on appelle le paiement
direct Interac.
Ces services sont bien utiles, mais il est facile de ne plus s'y retrouver dans
toutes ces transactions bancaires. N'oubliez pas d'inscrire toutes vos
transactions et de prendre note de votre solde et des frais exigs par votre
tablissement financier.
Dpt direct
Le dpt direct est devenu trs populaire auprs des Canadiennes et des
Canadiens. Cela signifie que l'argent que l'on vous doit, comme un chque de
paye ou une prestation gouvernementale, est dpos directement dans votre
compte. Vous avez accs aux fonds immdiatement, et vous n'avez pas
attendre que le chque arrive par la poste ni faire la queue la banque pour
le dposer. Vous pouvez demander ce service si vous vous attendez
recevoir des paiements rguliers. La plupart des ministres et de nombreuses
entreprises offrent ce service.
Envoi d'argent
Si vous envoyez de l'argent l'extrieur du Canada, n'envoyez jamais
d'argent comptant. Utilisez un chque certifi ou un mandat. Informez-vous
auprs de votre banque, pour mieux connatre ces options. Vous pouvez
galement acheter un mandat au bureau de poste ou tlgraphier de l'argent
par des services privs d'mission de mandats et de transfert d'argent, dont
vous trouverez les numros dans l'annuaire tlphonique.
Demande de crdit
Obtenir du crdit signifie que vous empruntez de l'argent pour acheter
quelque chose maintenant et que vous le remboursez plus tard, avec des
intrts. Les intrts sont les frais que vous devez payer pour utiliser l'argent.
Les taux d'intrt peuvent tre trs levs. C'est pourquoi vous devez tre
trs prudent lorsque vous faites appel au crdit.
Le crdit prend de nombreuses formes -- cartes de crdit, marges de crdit,
hypothques ou prts. Vous pouvez faire une demande de carte de crdit
auprs d'une banque ou d'une compagnie de fiducie. Ces cartes vous
permettent d'acheter des articles crdit et de recevoir la facture au cours du
mois suivant. Si vous remboursez le montant total la date prvue, vous
n'aurez pas payer de l'intrt.
Si vous empruntez de l'argent, assurez-vous de savoir exactement quel
moment vous devez le rembourser, et combien cela vous cotera. Vous
pouvez rembourser par mensualits si vous empruntez de l'argent selon un
rgime d'achat temprament.
De nombreux grands magasins annoncent maintenant des ventes spciales
qui vous permettent d'acheter quelque chose maintenant et de le payer dans
un an ou dans six mois, sans intrt. Assurez-vous de comprendre
exactement ce que vous devez payer, et quel moment, avant de signer quoi
que ce soit. Si vous ne comprenez pas quelque chose, demandez une
personne en qui vous avez confiance de vous l'expliquer clairement.
Tlmarketing
Vous recevrez peut-tre des appels de personnes qui tenteront de vous
vendre quelque chose. Certaines sont honntes, d'autres ne le sont pas. La
meilleure faon de vous protger est de ne jamais fournir de renseignements
personnels ou financiers au tlphone. Si l'appel vous rend mal l'aise,
raccrochez.

Votre banque vous offre beaucoup de renseignements gratuits, y compris des
conseils financiers. L'Association des banquiers canadiens a galement
prpar une srie de publications gratuites sur divers sujets : ouvrir un
compte, grer son argent, utiliser les guichets automatiques et pargner pour
les tudes de vos enfants. Vous pouvez composer, sans frais, le 1 800 2630231 pour en obtenir des exemplaires. Si vous voulez consulter Internet, voici

t first you may find it difficult to get work that matches your
skills. It may also be difficult to find a job that pays as much as
you want until you get Canadian experience. Try not to be
discouraged. When the right job does come along, you will
have the benefit of that previous experience.
When you apply for a job in Canada, the employer will want some information
about you. Bring a list of your education and work experience (a rsum).
Also bring letters of reference from your former employers, your professional
degrees and trade certificates. You may be asked to provide English or
French copies of these documents.
Remember that certain trades or professions are regulated, which means that
you must be licensed, registered or certified to practise them. In other words,
you must meet certain standards which are set by the organization
responsible for your profession in the province where you plan to work. The
standards vary from province to province. So even though you may be
qualified in another country, your qualifications must meet Canadian
standards for you to be licensed to practise.
Immigrant-Serving Organizations can help

If you cannot speak the language used by the employer, ask a friend to
interpret for you, or get a translator through an immigrant-serving
organization. You might also want to ask about job finding clubs, about
workshops, and about getting help with preparing a rsum or writing a letter.
These services are often provided by immigrant-serving organizations
themselves or by the province. Refer to the pamphlet Finding Help in Your
Community in the back pocket of this book.
Human Resources Development Canada offices

Many jobs are posted either on billboards or on self-serve computers at your
local Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) office. The Canadian
government runs HRDC offices throughout Canada. They provide information
and services for people looking for work. Some offer the free use of
computers, printers, the Internet, telephones, fax services, and resource
libraries. They may offer workshops on how to prepare a rsum or look for
work, as well as computer training and other courses.
HRDC also runs the Job Bank, and the Electronic Labour Exchange, an
Internet site that matches jobs with people and people with jobs. Employers
use the exchange to advertise a job and you can use it to advertise your skills
to thousands of potential employers. The Internet address for the Electronic
Labour Exchange is www.ele-spe.org.
Another Internet site that may be useful is "Worksearch." This is an easy-touse site that can help you with all aspects of your search for work. The
Internet address for this site is www.jobsetc.ca. The HRDC youth InfoLine is
1 800 935-5555.
You can find the nearest HRDC office listed in the blue pages of the
telephone book, under Human Resources Development Canada.
Using the newspaper and other resources

Many jobs are listed in newspapers. Look in the classified advertisements
section under "Help Wanted" and "Careers." There may also be a separate
career section in the weekend paper.
Libraries are also helpful. They have books on how to find a job or write a
rsum, and they often keep directories of businesses across Canada or in
your area. These publications can help you to find information about potential
employers. Their "periodical" section will also have copies of various weekly
magazines that provide new listings of jobs across Canada. You can also
access the Internet at most public libraries. Ask for more information at the
reference desk.
"Networking" is also a popular way of finding a job in Canada. This means
contacting all the people you know, including your friends and relatives, and
letting them know you are looking for work. This may help you to find a job
that is not actually advertised anywhere. Job-finding clubs run by immigrantserving organizations may also be useful.
There are also private job placement agencies that may be able to help you
find permanent, temporary or contract work. Remember that since employers
pay a fee to use these agencies, your salary may be somewhat lower than it
would be if you found the job by yourself. These agencies are listed in the
yellow pages of the telephone book. Look under "Employment Agencies."
Documents and foreign credentials

You may need Canadian qualifications to work at a licensed trade or
profession. You may have to write an examination or work as a trainee to
qualify. The requirements vary from province to province and from profession
to profession. You might want to contact the national and/or provincial
association which looks after accreditation in your profession or trade. You
can also contact the Canadian Information Centre for International
Credentials, or other international credentials evaluations services. These are
listed in the pamphlet Key Information Sources in the pocket at the back of
this brochure.
Getting paid
Employers have the choice to pay their workers every week, every two weeks
or once a month. You can be paid in cash, by cheque or by direct deposit to
your bank account. Your pay stub (the piece of paper attached to your
paycheque) shows how much you earned. It also lists any money taken off
(deductions) for federal and provincial taxes, pension plans, employment
insurance, and any other items.
Working for yourself

More and more Canadians are working for themselves and running homebased businesses. You too might want to join this fast-growing group of
entrepreneurs and go into business for yourself, or with a partner. Numerous
information resources are available to you.
The Canadian Bankers Association offers a free publication entitled Starting a
Small Business. This contains most of the information you will need at the
beginning. You can order this by calling their toll-free number: 1-800-2630231.
The Business Development Bank of Canada also provides a book for
newcomers interested in working for themselves, called Starting a Business in
Canada: A Guide for New Canadians. They also offer management training,
counselling and planning services for entrepreneurs. Call their toll-free
number for more information: 1-888-463-6232 or visit their website at www.
bdc.ca
Canada Business Service Centres provide a central resource for Canadian
business information, especially government information. You can find them
in every province, and territory. They offer service on the Internet, or you can
speak directly to a business information officer. To find the Canada Business
Service Centre nearest you, look in the blue pages of your telephone book
under the federal government.
The Small Business Loans Act helps small businesses get loans from banks
and other lenders. Contact Industry Canada in the federal government listings
in the blue pages of your telephone book for more information.
Business and travel

Although the Canadian government realizes that travel is often part of doing
business, you may lose your permanent resident status if you stay outside the
country for extended periods of time. Before you leave for business, you
should check with the CIC Call Centre or visit the CIC Web site at www.cic.
gc.ca/english/irpa/fs-residents.html.
If you are an entrepreneur who has been admitted to Canada on certain
conditions, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will check to see how your
business is doing. The Department will also provide special counselling
services to help you. If after three years, you have not fulfilled the conditions
under which you were admitted, you and your dependants may be asked to
leave. Remember, this only applies to those who come in as entrepreneurs
under certain terms and conditions.
Daycare
When you do find work, you must remember that it is illegal in Canada to
leave children under the age of 12 at home by themselves. You may need to
pay someone to look after your children while you work. There are several
options you can look into, such as licensed day care centres, home-based
day care, nursery schools, and "drop-in" day care centres. You can also hire
someone to come into your home and look after your children. Look in the
yellow pages under "Day Nurseries" or "Day Care." Also check the classified
advertisements section of the newspaper under "Employment Wanted" to find
a caregiver in your area. Government-subsidized daycare exists for lowincome families.
Labour laws and human rights

In Canada there are provincial and federal labour laws designed to protect
employees and employers. These laws set minimum wage levels, health and
safety standards, hours of work, maternity leave, annual paid vacations and
provide protection for children. There are also human rights laws which
protect employees from unfair treatment by employers based on sex, age,
race, religion or disability.
You also have the right to join a labour union in Canada. Unions negotiate
wages, hours of work and working conditions. Union fees will be deducted
from your salary.
If you feel you are being treated unfairly by your employer, you may seek
advice and/or assistance from an officer of the Ministry of Labour in the
province where you work. You can also contact the Canadian Human Rights
Commission or a Human Resources Development Canada office, where you
can talk to a federal government labour affairs officer.
Volunteering
You might wish to help out in an agency or community organization as a
volunteer. This means that you volunteer your time but you do not get paid.
However, volunteering can help you develop Canadian job experience, get a
practical knowledge of the Canadian workplace, practise your English or
French and make new friends, as well as help others. You can find volunteer
centres in the yellow pages of your telephone book, or contact your local
community agency.
An example of volunteering is the Host Program. The Canadian government
funds the Host Program to help newcomers adapt, settle and integrate into
Canadian life. Host volunteers are Canadians who offer their time to be with
newcomers and introduce them to the Canadian way of life.
For more information on the Host Program, contact one of the local immigrantserving organizations listed in the pamphlet called Finding Help in Your
Community, in the back pocket of this guide.
Do you know that it is illegal to leave children

under 12 at home alone?

Accueil Citoyennet Information sur la citoyennet canadienne Double

citoyennet
La double citoyennet
Quest-ce que la double citoyennet?
Tout tat indpendant dtermine lui-mme qui est citoyen et qui ne lest pas.
Vous possdez une double citoyennet ou plusieurs citoyennets lorsque plus
dun pays vous reconnat comme son ressortissant.
Contrairement la lgislation en vigueur au Canada avant 1977, la prsente Loi
sur la citoyennet permet un citoyen canadien dacqurir une nationalit
trangre sans perte automatique de la citoyennet canadienne. Depuis le
15 fvrier 1977, un citoyen canadien qui obtient une autre nationalit peut
conserver sa citoyennet canadienne, moins quil ne dcide, de son propre
chef, de prsenter une demande pour y renoncer et que celle-ci soit approuve
par un juge de la citoyennet. La loi actuelle permet ainsi la possession de plus
dune citoyennet et allgeance la fois, pour une dure indfinie.
Par consquent, il se peut que vous ayez les droits et les obligations que
comporte le statut de citoyen dans chacun de ces pays. Lorsque vous vous
trouvez dans un pays qui vous reconnat comme lun de ses citoyens, les lois de
cet tat ont priorit sur celles de tout autre pays dont vous tes citoyen. Les
traits internationaux peuvent toutefois tablir des exceptions cette rgle.
Une personne peut dtenir plusieurs citoyennets la fois. Prenons le cas dune
personne qui est ne dans un pays autre que le Canada, qui fait une demande
de citoyennet et est naturalise Canadienne et devient ensuite citoyenne dun
tiers pays. Cette personne peut tre considre comme tant citoyenne des
trois pays. Toutefois, les cas de double citoyennet sont plus frquents. Mme
si ce dpliant traite surtout de la double citoyennet, les observations quil
contient sappliquent galement aux personnes possdant plus de deux
citoyennets. De nos jours, les termes double citoyennet et double
nationalit sont utiliss indiffremment.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/francais/citoyen/double-cit.html (1 sur 6)2006-03-27 05:45:03
Causes de la double citoyennet

Si vous-mme, vos parents, vos grands-parents et votre conjoint, le cas
chant, tes tous ns au Canada et si vous navez pas acquis une autre
citoyennet, vous possdez probablement une seule citoyennet, la citoyennet
canadienne.
Cependant, si lune ou plusieurs de ces personnes sont nes ltranger ou ont
acquis une autre citoyennet, vous pourriez avoir la double citoyennet, selon
les lois respectives des pays concerns. Par exemple, si vous tes n au
Canada et que votre pre ou votre mre, ou encore votre conjoint, est n
ltranger, vous pourriez tre considr comme citoyen du pays dorigine de ce
parent ou de votre conjoint, mme si vous navez jamais demand ltre. La
double citoyennet existe parce quil y a plusieurs faons dacqurir le statut de
citoyen : par le pays de naissance, par la naturalisation, par les parents et les
grands-parents ou, dans de rares cas, par le mariage.
La citoyennet est une question complexe en raison de la grande diversit de la
lgislation sur la citoyennet lchelle mondiale. Certains tats reconnaissent
le principe de la double citoyennet. Dautres, au contraire, rvoquent la
citoyennet de leurs citoyens qui en acquirent une autre ou ne reconnaissent
pas cette nouvelle citoyennet. Les lois qui sappliquent votre cas sont
gnralement celles en vigueur au moment o sont survenus les vnements
qui ont une incidence sur votre citoyennet, comme votre naissance ou votre
mariage ou encore la naissance de vos parents ou leur mariage. Cest pourquoi
il peut tre long et difficile de dterminer votre statut actuel.
Avant la Loi sur la citoyennet du 15 fvrier 1977, la lgislation canadienne
limitait la double citoyennet. Elle prvoyait, en outre, plus de faons dobtenir
ou de perdre la citoyennet que nen contient la loi actuelle. Tout Canadien ou
toute Canadienne ayant acquis une autre citoyennet avant cette date devrait
vrifier son statut. Depuis cette date, la loi canadienne, tout comme les lois de
quelques autres pays, permet la double citoyennet.
Combien de citoyennets possdez-vous?

Pour savoir si vous possdez une double citoyennet ou pourriez lobtenir, vous
devez vous adresser aux autorits comptentes de chaque pays dont vous tes
susceptible dtre ressortissant. Vous devrez alors fournir certains
renseignements dordre personnel, notamment le lieu et la date de votre
naissance, la citoyennet de vos parents, certains dtails relatifs votre
immigration, etc. Il se peut que vous ayez donner les mmes renseignements
sur vos parents, votre conjoint et vos grands-parents.
Si vous demeurez au Canada et dsirez savoir si vous tes citoyen dun autre
pays, communiquez avec lambassade ou le consulat de ce pays. Pour obtenir
les noms, les adresses et les numros de tlphone des responsables,
consultez le site Web de la Direction gnrale des affaires consulaires (www.
voyage.gc.ca/alt/representants.asp) ou communiquez avec le Service des
renseignements du ministre des Affaires trangres et du Commerce
international, au 1 800 267-8376 (sans frais, nimporte o au Canada) ou au
(613) 944-4000 ( Ottawa). Si vous avez des questions au sujet de la

citoyennet canadienne, contactez le Tlcentre au 1 888 242-2100 (sans frais,
nimporte o au Canada) ou adressez-vous une ambassade, un hautcommissariat ou un consulat ( ltranger). Vous pouvez galement
communiquer par crit avec le Greffier de la citoyennet canadienne,
Citoyennet et Immigration Canada, Ottawa K1A 1L1.
La double citoyennet : une question

importante
La double citoyennet peut comporter certains avantages, mais elle peut aussi
vous crer des difficults inattendues procdures judiciaires, responsabilits
financires et fiscales, service militaire, rejet dune demande dmigration ou
mme emprisonnement si vous ne remplissez pas les obligations dans lun des
pays dont vous tes ressortissant. En consquence, vous devriez vous poser
les questions suivantes :
Est-ce que je possde actuellement une double citoyennet?

Est-ce que je peux acqurir une double citoyennet, soit par le mariage
soit par la naturalisation au Canada ou dans un autre pays?
La double citoyennet constitue-t-elle pour moi un avantage ou peut-elle
entraner des inconvnients?
Si la double citoyennet entrane des inconvnients, que puis-je faire
pour corriger la situation?
La double citoyennet : avantage ou

inconvnient?
Supposons que vous appreniez que vous ou un membre de votre famille avez
une double citoyennet ou tes susceptibles de lacqurir. Cette double
citoyennet serait-elle avantageuse? Plus avantageuse que nuisible?
Pour certaines personnes, la double citoyennet prsente des avantages
pratiques, par exemple en fait de scurit sociale ou demploi. Ce statut peut, de
plus, accentuer leur sentiment dappartenance, parce quelles ont des attaches
dans plusieurs pays.
Toutefois, cette situation peut aussi entraner des difficults et des
inconvnients. Les paragraphes suivants donnent des exemples de certaines
consquences qui en dcoulent. En gnral, les lois auxquelles vous tes
soumis un moment donn sont les lois du pays dans lequel vous vous trouvez
ce moment-l. Les lois dun pays peuvent stipuler, par exemple, que les
personnes qui rsident dans le pays de leur seconde nationalit ne peuvent
voyager quavec le passeport de leur pays de rsidence. La possession dun
deuxime passeport pourrait entraner sa confiscation ou mme limposition
dune amende.
Si une personne de citoyennet canadienne a des difficults dordre judiciaire ou
autre lextrieur du Canada, les reprsentants diplomatiques ou consulaires du
Canada en poste dans ce pays peuvent essayer de laider. Cependant, si cette
personne possde galement la citoyennet de ce mme pays, il est possible

que les fonctionnaires canadiens ne puissent pas du tout laider. Comme il
sagit, pour ce pays, de lun de ses propres citoyens, il nacceptera
probablement pas d ingrence trangre . Les autorits locales vous
considreront certainement comme leur citoyen, en particulier si vous voyagez
avec le passeport de ce pays.
De plus, le fait dutiliser simultanment un passeport canadien et celui dun autre
pays pour voyager peut conduire certaines difficults dans un tiers pays. Le
gouvernement du Canada recommande donc aux Canadiens dutiliser leur
passeport canadien et de se prsenter aux autorits du tiers pays comme
ressortis-sants du Canada, si cela est permis par la lgislation du pays en
question.
Un pays peut avoir des lois qui ne sappliquent pas un visiteur tranger, mais
que vous tes tenu de respecter parce que vous tes lun de ses citoyens par
exemple, des interdictions de sortie, le service militaire obligatoire, des taxes et
des impts spciaux, et le versement de compensations financires pour des
services reus dans le pass, y compris les frais dducation. Des circonstances
spciales pourraient mme sappliquer vous par exemple, des amis ou des
parents pourraient tre compromis par votre prsence dans ce pays, ou des
procdures judiciaires intentes contre vous dans le pass pourraient tre
ractives si vous retournez dans le pays en question.
Si lun ou lautre des pays dont vous tes citoyen tait la proie de
bouleversements politiques ou tait impliqu dans un conflit militaire, vous
pourriez tre personnellement touch.
Vous pourriez, mme en demeurant au Canada, tre appel remplir certaines
obligations envers un autre pays dont vous tes lgalement citoyen.
Ce sont l quelques-uns des inconvnients que la double citoyennet ou des
citoyennets multiples peuvent comporter. Ils ne sappliquent peut-tre pas
votre cas, mais il importe nanmoins que vous en soyez conscient.
vitez les risques de la double citoyennet

Supposons que vous ayez une double citoyennet ou que vous puissiez
lobtenir. Vous tes davis que cette situation pourrait causer des ennuis ou des
difficults vous-mme, votre conjoint, vos enfants ou dautres personnes.
Voici ce que vous pourriez faire pour y remdier.
Avant de prsenter une demande de citoyennet canadienne, cherchez savoir
si vous conserverez votre citoyennet actuelle et si cela soulvera des
problmes pour vous ou pour dautres.
Ensuite, informez-vous pour savoir sil vous est possible de rpudier la
citoyennet que vous ne dsirez pas conserver et si le fait de la rpudier
cartera toute difficult ventuelle. On ne peut renoncer sa citoyennet en ne
faisant quune simple dclaration cet effet. Il faut prsenter une demande
auprs des autorits comptentes du pays concern et celles-ci doivent
lapprouver officiellement.
Si vous possdez ou comptez adopter la citoyennet dun autre pays et si vous
vivez ltranger, vous pouvez, pour renoncer la citoyennet canadienne,
prsenter une demande auprs dune ambassade, dun haut-commissariat ou
dun consulat du Canada ltranger. Cependant, une fois que vous navez plus
la citoyennet canadienne, vous ne pouvez plus voyager avec un passeport
canadien ni bnficier de la protection du Canada lextrieur du pays. En
outre, vous ne pouvez plus revenir au Canada titre de rsident permanent
sans dabord passer par les services dimmigration.
Et surtout, vitez de vous rendre dans un pays o votre statut de citoyen de ce
pays risque de vous causer de graves problmes.
Confirmez votre statut

Les lois sur la citoyennet sont complexes. Ne prsumez pas que ce qui
sapplique vos amis ou vos parents sappliquera galement vous, mme si
les circonstances semblent analogues. Soyez sr de votre statut : obtenez des
renseignements auprs des fonctionnaires de chaque pays dont vous pourriez
tre citoyen. Commencez par vous adresser au Tlcentre, au Canada, ou
une ambassade ou un consulat du Canada, ltranger. Leurs avis et conseils
sont gratuits, et les fonctionnaires canadiens seront heureux de vous renseigner
ou de vous indiquer o vous adresser.
Si vous dsirez recevoir un certificat de citoyennet pour confirmer votre
citoyennet canadienne, vous devez en faire la demande ainsi que payer les
frais sy rattachant. Le numro de tlphone du Tlcentre de Citoyennet et

Language Training
Citizenship
Language is the key!

he Government of Canada, in cooperation with provincial
governments, school boards, community colleges, and immigrant
and community organizations, offers free language training across
the country for adult permanent residents. In most provinces, the
name of the program is LINC, which stands for Language Instruction for
Newcomers to Canada. This pamphlet lists the LINC assessment centres
across Canada. These centres can assess your language training needs and
refer you to the right LINC classes for your needs.
Most universities and community colleges also offer language classes, as do
some private language schools and community organizations. You can
contact these groups directly for more information. Remember to ask about
fees, since these courses may not be free.
You may also wish to refer to the other two pamphlets in the back pocket of
your guide: Finding Help in Your Community, and Key Information Sources.
Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) Program

LINC offers both full- and part-time classes to suit your needs, and some
centres offer free child care while you attend classes. Most LINC centres can
also refer you to other language training classes in your area.
Remember, language classes are available for every adult in your family, not
just the person who may be looking for work.
For more information

Contact your local immigrant serving organization or one of the LINC
assessment centres listed below, depending on where you live.
Remember: when you use the telephone, speak slowly and clearly, and have
a pen or pencil and some paper to write down information. You may be
referred to another telephone number or be given other useful information.

The WES evaluation converts educational credentials from any country in the world into
their Canadian equivalents. It describes each certificate, diploma or degree that you
have earned and states its academic equivalency in Canada.
WES evaluations are widely accepted and often specifically requested by academic
institutions, regulatory bodies, employers and government agencies throughout Canada.
(WES also administers a separate credential evaluation service in the United States; for
more information, please visit WES USA).
WES is recognized, and funded in part, by the Government of Ontario.
