Yeah, but I'm still, like, at high school, this whole text is too complex for my mind, can you explain it?
If you wish to immigrate, navigating government pages and submitting a seemingly endless sequence of documentation will become your reality for years of your life. Getting used to it now will save you future hardship.
First let me preface with IANAL, immigration processes and laws and complex, very by province, and are in constant fluctuations.
In short you'll need to first obtain a study permit to enroll in a DLI (designed learning institution). Once you've graduated, provided you fullfill the conditions (they vary by diploma, field, and province), you'll be able to apply for a PGWP (Post Graduation Work Permit) and then after you've been in the country for enough time under the work permit (3 years I believe) you'll be eligible to apply for recidency. The whole process will take about 5~6 years before you might obtain a PR. After that you'll be eligible for citizenship in about five years (give or take, depending on time spent outside of Canada).
It takes three years to find out CDN foreign student programs are scam. Very difficult to get PR and impossible to find a job.
oooh I get it now, thanks.
As others have said, if you're not willing to read through hundreds of pages of documentation and fill in dozens upon dozens of pages of forms and documentation, you're not gonna manage to do this though.
I have friends who have done the family reunion process to get their partners into the country, the easiest of all the possible paths to residency, and it was literally 200 pages of documents they had to file!
Family renunion is a tough thing, because I don't have anyone at Canada.
Yes I'm not suggesting this is what you will do, I'm telling you that even the easiest path to residency is hard, and you need to be willing and ready to read through all the information, file all the forms, provide all the personal documentation, etc.
