If you’re moving to Canada it will be important to obtain the right visa. The right visa for you depends on the reason you’re moving to Canada, your nationality and how long you intend to stay in Canada.

Most people need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada – not both. Some people may only need their valid passport. So where can I find this information about visas or eTAs in Canada? The best place with the most information is the official website of the Government of Canada.

You don’t need an eTA if you’re from a visa-required country. You will need a visitor visa. A visitor visa (also called a temporary resident visa) is an official travel document. It shows that you meet the requirements needed to enter Canada. You can apply for a visitor visa online or on paper.

If you want to apply for eTA click on this link!

Can I become a Canadian citizen? Yes, there are several ways of acquiring Canadian nationality. You can become a Canadian citizen with all the accompanying rights through either naturalization, marriage, or birth.

You must be over 18 and be living in Canada. If you are an adult, you can acquire Canadian nationality through naturalization. These are the conditions:

• be a permanent resident
• have lived in Canada for at least 3 out of the last 5 years (1,095 days)
• have filed your taxes, if you need to
• pass a citizenship test
• prove your language skills in English or French

On this website you will find an eligibility checklist. This will help you find out if you qualify for Canadian citizenship. For more information on how to become a Canadian national, contact the municipality where you live.

You could also take a look at this website, it has very clear information about Canadian citizenship and the requirements.

It’s final, you’re moving to Canada! In addition to moving to Canada, you will also have to start looking at everything Canada has to offer. Why is moving to Canada the right decision for you?

Well, expats living in this country enjoy many benefits of going to Canada including a high quality of living, great education, good healthcare, fantastic work-life balance, and great work benefits from employers.

Canada is known everywhere as the land of ice hockey, maple syrup, politeness and stunning landscapes. But the country also has vibrant cities with beautiful architecture.

• Niagara Falls: These massive falls drop approximately 57 meters. You can see the falls at an astoundingly close distance from several key points
• Banff National Park & the Rocky Mountains: Banff National Park lies in the heart of the majestic Rocky Mountains in the province of Alberta, and showcases some of Canada’s most beautiful scenery.
• Toronto’s CN Tower: On the shores of Lake Ontario in Canada’s biggest city is the iconic CN Tower, one of Canada’s most famous landmarks.
• Old Quebec (Vieux-Quebec): Old Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Canada’s historic gems. Spread across the Upper and Lower Town of Quebec, this area contains the city’s most historic buildings.
• Old Montreal: Old Montreal, lined with lovely historic buildings, is a place to go for great shopping and fine dining. While Montreal itself is a vibrant modern city, Old Montreal, down by the waterfront, is where you’ll want to go to soak up the atmosphere.

Of course there is so much to see and you don’t have to do everything at once. That is the beauty of living in Canada, there is always something new to discover. Do you want to know more about the country and all that it has to offer? Have a look at their tourism website!

Moving to Canada is exciting and new. It’s a beautiful country with lots to offer. Living in Canada is easy and the people are outgoing. Canada is an open country, with very lovely people living in it.

In general, Canadians are mostly friendly, unpretentious people who value honesty, sensitivity, empathy and humility in their relationships with friends and strangers. As well as respect for the privacy and individualism of others. This is where the “friendly” Canadian stereotype stems from.

So adapting to Canadian culture will probably not be that difficult. Still there are some differences. These are some of the things expats found different about living in Canada. Luckily there are multiple websites dedicated to make living in Canada easier for expats.

If you want more information about Canadian culture and social etiquette, try this website. You’ll find loads of useful information about Canada.
