Answer 1

your age maybe a problem to immigrate

at 55 your hubby will not get points to help pass the immigration requirements

Answer 2

I would advise you to read through http://www.cic.gc.ca very carefully.

By all means, you can try to immigrate here but please be advised that we are currently dealing with about 980,000 applications. As we only accept about 250,000 new immigrants each year, you can see that it is currently taking about 4 years to process each application.

You would also be wise to examine how your qualifications as a dentist compare to those of Canada's. I don't doubt the qualifications are very similar but you may have to take further testing before you can practice dentistry here.

Answer 3

I'm sorry, I don't want to be rude but, WHY????? Canada is ok but I would rather live in Switzerland.

If I had to choose, it would not even be close.

Answer 4

i think you have a good chance of getting into Canada. If you have a good education, and can speak english relatively well, you should be okay. Do you by any chance have anyone in your family already living in Canada? Because they can sponsor you to come to Canada.

Best of luck !

Answer 5

Immigration Canada has a great website that includes a test you can take to see if you might have enough points to apply for Canadian immigration.  But if your husband does not have a university degree, and being over 50, it does not look promising.  

Why would Swiss citizens want to emigrate?  Anybody else would give their eye-teeth to be Swiss citizens!
