Canada Immigration in 7 Easy Steps

Canadian history is steeped in traditions of immigration. The majority of Canadians have family members who at some time in their lives immigrated to Canada. These pioneers have helped to build our proud nation through hard work, determination and dedication. We are indeed a nation of successful immigrants.

The Immigration process is never easy. To uproot oneself and one’s family takes great courage and determination. This is one of the bravest and most unselfish decisions that you will ever make. To leave your home and make a successful transition to another, requires good planning and proper guidance. This is the founding principle on which Soft Landings has built it's Canadian immigration service.

Being immigrants ourselves, we know only too well what it takes to successfully immigrate and integrate into a new community and lifestyle. To do this, whilst still preserving our cultural norms and identity, is a unique challenge.

As new immigrants we want the basic freedoms of speech, expression, religion, culture and democracy. We have a unique opportunity to enjoy a new way of life, an opportunity to live and let live. As Canadians, we pride ourselves on being non-judgmental, free thinking and providing a safe, happy and egalitarian society for all.

Over the years, Soft Landings has assisted scores of new immigrants to Canada. We do this by guiding them through the various loopholes, obstacles and challenges of the immigration and relocation process. We do not treat our clients as numbers, but rather take pride in relocating and helping them settle in the most efficient and cost effective manner. We develop unique and customized immigration and relocation plans, solutions and roadmaps. We offer advice and assistance on how to proceed, where to settle and how to maximize your prospects of successful immigration to Canada.

Our advice is based on our personal experiences. Having been through the Canadian immigration process ourselves, we are uniquely positioned to understand, relate and empathize with exactly what our clients are going through. We have "walked the walk" and are therefore well qualified to "talk the talk" Our primary concerns are the welfare of our clients and the goodwill of our organization.

As some of our members have personally experienced, new and prospective immigrants are extremely vulnerable. Not knowing the local practices and not having any support networks, means that these immigrants can be easily exploited. Many so called "experts" have taken advantage of new immigrants without remorse. Stories of immigrants who have lost their life savings or suffered a loss of property are numerous.

Canada Immigration in 7 Easy Steps

In an effort to assist you, we have identified the following seven basic principles to simplify your immigration to Canada:

1. TurnTheory into reality:

As the most fundamental part of your desire to start a new life in Canada, we strongly urge you to prepare a comprehensive immigration plan. As with anything in life, proper preparation will make the Canadian immigration process a lot simpler and easier to deal with.

Take some time to identify your and your family’s goals and objectives. Work out what it is that you’re hoping to achieve and how you’re most likely to achieve it. Calculate your financial net worth, the costs associated with reaching your milestones, the income you will need to be successful. Be realistic, be prepared and whatever else happens, stick to your immigration plan!

2. Canada?.... To be or not to be?

Is Canada the place for you and your family? If so, where should you go and what will you do? What’s the climate really like, how can I find out more about the Canadian people?

Feel free to spend as much time as you need browsing through our site. We have a vast wealth of Canadian information which is continually updated and expanded. Find out as much as you can about Canada. Is this really the place you want to spend the rest of your life in? Go to your local library or conduct further research on the internet. Do your research. Study what Canada has to offer you and your family. Familiarize yourself with the Canadian weather patterns, geography and current affairs - ensure that Canada is the place for you.

3. Do I qualify?

Are you eligible for Canadian immigration? What are your prospects of succeeding? How should you go about the process?

This is an important stage to consult with our team of professionals. Unless you have very close family already living in Canada who can sponsor you, your qualifications or financial disposition would be the two most important factors taken into account for a Canadian immigration application.

4. Visit our beautiful country ...if you can

Never underestimate the value of a personal visit and observation. Look, see, observe and question. Your impression and the information you gather will give you a better perspective and help to make up your mind.

5. Being "Cheap" can be expensive...

Think outside the box, as the long term cost of bad preparation can be devastating. Don’t leave it to trial and error; rather rely on the experience of a team of dedicated experts. They have learned from the mistakes of others and you can take advantage of their specialist knowledge and experience with the Canada immigration process.

Statistically, more people who have received professional guidance have successfully achieved permanent residence than those who go it alone. Whilst it is however possible to do it on your own, the complexities and challenges of continuously changing laws and regulations, makes it extremely challenging and frustrating. [More info...]

6. Use the most affordable means to achieve your goals

Often people will try to find the quickest, shortest or cheapest route to achieving their goals. With Canadian immigration, this can prove to be disastrous and a very costly exercise in the long term.

Make sure that whatever services you are utilizing provide the best possible range of options to cater for your specific immigration or relocation needs. Whether you are using the services of an immigration lawyer or a moving company, you should be getting the best possible deal with the best "after-sales" service. Careful due diligence and screening will ensure that you’re not stuck with half your belongings on another continent.

At Soft Landings we have carefully approved all of our service providers to ensure that your needs are well taken care of. Our team is sourced from among the best in Canada. All service providers have a proven track record and have been of service to many immigrant families before you. Our stamp of approval and endorsement means that you’re dealing with a reliable and credible organization that will put your interests first. What’s more - the Soft Landings code of conduct, to which all our service providers have agreed in writing, will allow us to intervene and assist you with any misunderstandings that may arise from dealing with our service providers. This should provide you with additional peace of mind.

7. Be committed and stay committed:

Once you’ve made the big decision, stick with it and remain enthusiastic and committed throughout the process. Finalize your Canadian immigration plan, review it regularly. Be adaptable and be diligent. People and circumstances may cause you to re-think or sway in your decision. Remain steadfast!

There will be many challenges and obstacles along the way. However with the right attitude and friendly support you can rest easy in the knowledge that there will be a smoother transition, and a "soft landing" in Canada.

Remember that many people have arrived in Canada before you, and many more will follow. Some will be successful and others will fail, but those who have support will always be better equipped to handle whatever hurdles they need to overcome. Never underestimate your own potential and strength. With faith, hope and proper planning, you will realize your dream. [We recommend... Our Relocation Center & Settlement Center]
