Question

How many years to process an immigrant to canada? I s there a another way to lessen the year?

Answer 1

The immigration system is just about to be changed. The new system will focus on skills needed in Canada and give people possessing those skills priority.

I'd do some research and try to find guess what skills Canada will need and quickly go out and get an apprenticeship or schooling in that area.

Answer 2

If you apply as an immigrant under the points system, it takes about 3-4 years to process.

If you're sponsored by a close family member it's shorter, but still can be over a year and a half.

And no, there's no other way. Sorry.
