I would like to move to Canada, ?

Question

I live in California, how easy is it to live and work in Canada?

Answer 1

A foreign individual (i.e., one who is not a Canadian permanent resident or citizen) who intends to work in Canada is typically required to possess a work permit or other authorization to legally do so. Such authorization may come in various forms, and often requires advanced approval prior to eligibility to enter Canada for work.  

Answer 2

I depends on what you have to offer.  Go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/i... and look at different immigration classes.  If you qualify under the points system to apply as a skilled worker, you can do that from the US, wait a year and a half and have permanent residency before you move.  Or if you qualify for any jobs listed under provincial nominee programs, you can get a work permit very easily if you have a job offer and can apply for permanent residency from inside Canada.

I have found it easy to live in Canada.  There are so many immigrants and nobody really cares where you come from.

Answer 3

You can apply under skilled worker as long as you have skills, qualifications and work experience.

Processing may take as much as 2 years.
