Good luck to you.

Answer 4

To become citizen you need to gain Permanent Resident status first, then live in Canada for at least 3 out 4 years. You can read it in the first reference. Unless any of your grandparent or parents is or was Canada citizen, in which case you may actually already Canada citizen.

To become PR you can read in the second reference. You need to read and study each category listed and find whether for any of them you are qualified. Then you need to study what is the application process for the category you qualified.

Depend on the category, where you applied from, and how good you prepare the documentation, the process to get PR can take anytime from 6 months (for family sponsorship) to many (5 or more) years.

Answer 5

Going to school should not be hard.  But getting citizenship is a very long process unless you have at least $400,000 to invest in Canada.

Answer 6

its a long expensive process to immigrate to Canada, first you have to become a permanent resident then a few years after that you can apply for citizenship, it also depends what country you are from

at 18 i doubt you can convince immigration that you can support yourself while this process id going through,

Answer 7

What benefits would that be? As an immigrant to Canada you have to prove you can support yourself financially, you are entitled to our medical plan, which isnt any great shakes however you are not able to access or use any social programs or Govt progams - hence the need to prove you can support yourself financially and pay the fee for a non-Cdn student to attend univeristy here
