How to Apply for a Canada Visa from the Ivory Coast

Canada is known to be one of the safest and most welcoming countries globally. Besides having an exceptionally high quality of life with free healthcare and education for you and your children, Canada offers the opportunity to live a life free of prejudice in a peaceful and democratic society, which is one of the main reasons why so many skilled newcomers apply for a Canada visa.

According to the 2016 census, there are over 11,000 Ivorians living and working in Canada, many of whom have chosen Quebec as their place to immigrate to Canada due to the high level of French required. But Canada is a vast country, filled with opportunity no matter your nationality, race or religion.

So let's take a closer look at how you too can apply for your Canada visa from the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire and get permanent residency in Canada.

How to Start Your Canadian Immigration Process from the Ivory Coast

Applying for your Canadian visa from Côte d'Ivoire can be a very complex and lengthy process, especially when there are more than 100 immigration and visa options to choose from. Choosing the right immigration program is the most important part of your journey to Canada so let's take a look at 5 easy steps to follow, to make your application as simple and stress-free as possible.

Step 1: Check if You’re Eligible

Let’s face it, there’s no point in applying for a Canadian visa if you don't qualify. Our eligibility assessment will tell you:

• 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 down the line and because we are a paid immigration service you can rest assured that you will receive personalized immigration advice and guidance instead of the free generalized assessments that most free services offered by so many other consulting agencies.

Step 2: Choose Your Destination

Now, this is not a must for all Canadian immigration programs, such as the Express Entry system, it does make it easier to narrow down which options are best for you. It will also help if you research where you will be most likely to find a job in Canada as it is not always easy to find a new job once you arrive. If you can, try to find a job before you get to Canada. For more tips on how to get a job offer in Canada, visit our blog here.

Step 3: Choose Your Immigration Program

Now that your eligibility assessment is done, you can confidently choose the best immigration program to apply for your Canada visa. Choose the incorrect immigration program, however, and you may face disappointment. Many immigrants who opt to apply for their Canada visa on their own end up delaying the application process simply because of one small error, a missing document or missed deadlines, resulting in wasted time and money.

Step 4: Get Your Supporting Documentation in Order

Now at this point, you may not have to upload all your supporting documents, but you will definitely have to once you actually start the visa application process. You may also need some information to complete the application forms so we strongly recommend getting all your supporting documentation in order in advance as they will also need to be verified. The Canadian government has strict deadlines and requirements and the last thing that you want is to miss an important deadline because you are still waiting on a document.

Step 5: Apply For Your Canada Visa

Once all the groundwork has been done you will be able to start the process of applying for your Canada visa with ease. It is extremely important to complete each section accurately and correctly as any mistake could result in your application being returned and ultimately delaying the entire process.

3. Job Opportunities & Work Benefits

When you choose to immigrate to Canada you will have a choice of a variety of jobs. Due to Canada’s declining birth rate and earlier retirement age, companies are finding it more and more difficult to find skilled workers to fill the labour gap that the country is currently facing. This is why the Government is looking to invite over 1 million newcomers to join the Canadian community by 2021. In fact, there are so many job opportunities in Canada that certain provinces, such as Saskatchewan, have a list of jobs that don’t qualify as an in-demand job in Canada.

Not only will you find plenty of job offers to choose from but they will more than likely come with a very attractive salary. Most jobs in Canada offer a national wage average of $14 per hour or $52,600 per year. You can enjoy shorter work hours (on average 36 - 40 hours per week) and paid parental leave of up to 55% of your average earnings for up to 61 weeks!

4. You Loved Ones Can Join You in Canada

Did you know that as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident you can sponsor your loved ones to join you in Canada? With over 100 economic immigration options to choose from, both you and your loved ones will not only have the option to immigrate to Canada together but will also have the opportunity to reunite at a later stage through programs such as the Family Sponsorship Program.
