Applying for your Canada Visa from the Democratic Republic of Congo and don’t know where to begin? It's completely understandable and you’re not alone.
Tackling Canadian immigration alone can be a very daunting process, especially if you aren’t aware of all your options as well as all of the requirements, including deadlines, supporting documentation and application forms, settlement funds needed as well as many other requirements. You can, however, be sure of two things: Canada is a fantastic destination to relocate to and when you choose to use our immigration services, your Canadian future will be in good hands.
According to the latest data from Statistics Canada, over 25,655 people have already immigrated to Canada from the Democratic Republic of Congo to join the Canadian community and this will only increase as Canada plans to invite over 1 million people to apply for permanent residence by 2022.
But before we get to how to go about applying for your Canadian visa let's take a look at what makes Canada such an amazing place to live.
Applying for Canadian Immigration from the Democratic Republic of Congo
Starting the visa application process for your Canada Visa from the Democratic Republic of Congo is not easy, especially on your own. Here are 5 easy steps to follow, to ensure that your application will be simple and stress-free.
Step 1: Check if You’re Eligible
This is probably the most important step of your Canada visa application. Why waste your time and money applying if you don’t know if or which immigration and visa option you qualify for? Our eligibility assessment will do just that by telling you:
- If you are admissible to Canada (eligible to enter Canada); and
- Which immigration programs you are eligible for.
Step 2: Choose Your Canadian Destination
This is not necessarily a compulsory step if you want to immigrate to Canada, for example, some immigration programs under the Express Entry system don’t require it. The reason we do recommend it, however, is because it will make the application process that much easier by helping to narrow down which Canada immigration options are best suited to your personal needs. Some programs, however, are limited to specific provinces and communities such as the Atlantic Immigration Pilot as well as the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot and Provincial Nominee Programs.
Step 3: Choose the Best Immigration Program
Now that you’ve had your eligibility assessment done by professionals with years of experience under their belts, you can now confidently take the second most important step in the Canada visa application process - choosing the best immigration program. It’s quite simple really if you choose the incorrect immigration program, especially one that you don’t qualify for, your visa will be rejected and you will have wasted valuable time and money. So if you aren’t sure that you can handle the application process on your own, why risk it?
Step 4: Get Your Supporting Documents in Order
Now at this point, you won't be asked to upload all your supporting documents, but you will be required to once you actually start the visa application process. The Canadian government has strict deadlines and it can take longer than you think to gather all the supporting documents that you need, which is why we strongly recommend starting to do so ahead of time. There will also be certain documents that will have to be verified, accredited or translated, such as foreign education qualifications or documents that are not in English or French before they can be submitted when you apply for your Canadian visa.
Step 5: Start Your Canada Visa Application
Once everything is in order, you will be able to start the process of applying for your Canada visa from the DRC. It is very important that you double-check that you have completed each section accurately and correctly as the smallest mistake could mean that your application will be returned and ultimately delay the entire application process.

5 Reasons to Move to Canada from the Democratic Republic of Congo
1. Find Your Dream Job...With Benefits
Canada has a wide variety of job opportunities. Although it is predominantly known for its thriving agricultural, forestry and mining sectors, there is a high demand for nurses, doctors, tech professionals, engineers, truck drivers and trade professionals as well as various occupations in the hospitality, manufacturing and transportation sectors.
Canada is also known for having the best job satisfaction in the world, predominantly due to the fact that Canadian employers value work-life balance.
When you land your dream job in Canada you can expect to work shorter hours (on average 36 - 40 hours per week) and will have access to great work benefits such as paid parental leave, which could accumulate to up to 55% of your average earnings for up to 61 weeks!
You can also look forward to an attractive salary package of about $14 per hour or $52,600 per year on average, depending on your qualifications, job title and experience, of course.
Here are some of the most in-demand occupations in Canada in 2020.
2. Politically and Economically Stable
Canada has consistently been one of the most politically and economically stable countries in the world. It has the world’s 10th biggest economy, according to Investopedia.
As a federal state, headed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada is run by a liberal democratic government and prides itself on tolerance, multiculturalism and diversity as well as equality for all. This means that no matter your gender, race, sexual preferences or religion you will receive the same treatment as your fellow Canadians, without prejudice or persecution.
3. Live a High-Quality Life
Canada is one of the top locations to raise a family. It was voted as the 6th safest country in the world, according to World Population Review and offers a great quality of life. Both you and your loved ones will have access to Canada’s phenomenal public healthcare and education system (up until Grade 12), at no extra cost. That’s right it's free, which means you don’t have to worry about crippling hospital bills for an unforeseen trip to the emergency room and no more bills for visits to your GP.
Canada also has some of the best universities and colleges in the world, such as the University of Toronto, which is currently ranked 25th and McGill University which is ranked 31st globally. This means that whether you personally desire a Canadian qualification or you are simply thinking of your children’s future, Canada is one of the best places you can be right now, to live the life you’ve always dreamt of.
4. Freedom of Religion and Tolerance
Canada is one of the most tolerant countries. No matter your culture, religion or traditions that you celebrate, Canada welcomes newcomers with open arms and embraces people from all over the world. The 6 major religions include Roman Catholicism (38.7%), and Protestantism (23.5%) and also has prominent Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh and Jewish communities.
When you immigrate to Canada you’ll find a variety of places of worship as well as supportive communities all across the country to help you settle into your new life in Canada as an expat.
Canadians also have a very liberal and progressive view on life. Unlike the DRC, Canada embraces and celebrates its LGBTQ+ community and was the fourth country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage in 2005.
5. Experience New Traditions as a Family
Family values are important to Canadians and it shows. In fact, the Canadian immigration system is specifically designed to allow families to relocate together or to allow permanent residents to reunite with family by sponsoring their loved ones to join them once they are settled in Canada. With so many wonderful new traditions to celebrate, wouldn’t you rather enjoy spending them with the ones you love the most?
