Have you been wanting to apply for a Canada visa from Qatar but aren’t sure how to go about it or where to start? Deciding to immigrate to Canada is a big step, especially since there are so many things to think about before you do, such as how much it costs to live in Canada and what quality of life will be like for both you and your family, among others.
You may be wondering what level of healthcare and education Canada’s free public systems can provide, and not to mention whether or not there is a strong Qatari community in Canada. Are there enough jobs in Canada for skilled and unskilled immigrants alike that will pay you enough to be able to live affordably in Canada?
The answer to all of these questions is that when you decide to move to Canada you will have said yes to a high quality of life including exceptional healthcare and education, a new career with exceptional work benefits and high paying salaries, and a new place to call home that is known for its multiculturalism, democracy, tolerance, and liberalism and not to mention its welcoming stance on immigration!
With over 341,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residency up for grabs in 2020 alone and close to 4,000 people receiving ITAs every two weeks through immigration programs and systems such as the Express Entry system and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), you could be living your Canadian dream sooner than you think.
How to Start the Canadian Immigration Process from Qatar
Starting the visa application for Canada from Qatar can be confusing and time-consuming but with the right professional by your side and these 5 easy steps, it doesn’t have to be.
Step 1: Assess Your Eligibility
To ensure that you aren’t disappointed when you apply for your Canada visa it is important to find out:
- If you are admissible to Canada (eligible to enter Canada); and
- Which immigration programs you are eligible for.
This will save you both time and money in the long run as there are over 70 different immigration programs and visas to choose from, each with its own set of requirements that need to be met.
Step 2: Choose Your Destination
Choosing your destination is not required for immigration programs under the Express Entry system but will help you narrow down your options when determining which Immigration options are best suited to your needs. For example, programs such as the Atlantic Immigration Pilot and Rural and Northern Immigration Pilots are specific to certain provinces in Canada. It is also a good idea to do research on provinces and territories that suit your specific needs, particularly affordability and job demand.

Step 3: Choose Your Immigration Program
Choosing the right program for you is essential to your success when you apply for your Canada visa. For example, Express Entry is one of the most popular ways to immigrate to Canada but did you know that if you expressing interest in a particular province or territory or apply through an Express Entry-linked PNP, you may receive a provincial nomination, which is worth 600 extra points and seeing as the average Express Entry draw cut off score is 470, having a PN will all but guarantee to receive an invitation to apply for permanent residency.
Step 4: Gather Your Supporting Documentation
Even though you will only need your supporting documents when you actually start the visa application process it’s always a good idea to gather them in advance so that they can be verified and ready to go when you apply for your Canada visa from Qatar. As the saying goes, time is money, and you don’t want to waste either, especially seeing as the Canadian government has strict deadlines that must be adhered to in order for your application to be accepted.
Step 5: Start Your Canada Visa Application
Once all your paperwork is in order you can now start the process of applying for your Canada visa. Be sure to fill in each section completely and correctly as any mistake could result in your application being returned and ultimately delaying the entire process.
