Immigration Questions - Canada is not the USA
-
1. How long does it take to become a landed immigrant in Canada? I know of a few cases in the USA where people waited for more than 7 years to become residents in the US.
Canada is not the USA. If you arrive here as a worker, you may apply and have your documents within months and as long as 3 years (more in some instances)
2. Once you are a resident, how do you become a Canadian Citizen?
You need to have lived for 3 years within the last 4 (or five, I am not sure). If you travel outside of Canada, your days may be not counted towards your residency requirements. Exceptions include : working for a Canadian Company or representing Canada abroad.
3. Are there any special programs for people with execptional abilities? i.e. scientists with a PhD?
Nope that I know... are you a PhD?
