As more and more Sri Lankans move abroad in pursuit of higher education or the betterment of their professional careers, Canada has become an increasingly popular destination. With welcoming immigration policies, a multicultural society and modern and advanced facilities, it’s no wonder that Canada is one of the most sought-after destinations. However, many Sri Lankans are unaware of the rigorous process of being approved to migrate to Canada and often make mistakes that lead to disappointment. Here are some dos and don’ts to keep in mind, according to Canada migration consultants in Sri Lanka, for you to make your journey abroad a success.
Dos: The Best Practices for a Successful Application:
It is essential to start your immigration journey well aware of the best practices that you must commit to to achieve a successful application. Here are some top practices according to Canadian migration consultants in Sri Lanka.
- Work with certified consultants: Partnering with certified immigration consultants is one of the best ways to ensure that you have a higher chance of success. With their expert opinion and guidance, document preparation, eligibility checking and visa approval will become stress-free and less confusing.
- Have updated and accurate documents: Ensure that your passport and visa are valid until the end of your duration to avoid immigration complications during your stay. Provide valid and up-to-date documents and certificates relating to your work experience, language proficiency tests such as IELTS, proof of funds, birth certificates and more.
- Choose the right visa: There are many different types of visas available in Canada, with each serving a different purpose. From student visas to PNPs, there are many options available for you to choose from. Consult with your immigration agency and see which immigration pathway is most appropriate for you.
- Prepare in advance: Waiting until the last minute or preparing for your immigration process close to the deadlines must be avoided. Police clearance, medical certifications and financial arrangements can take time to be prepared, and being prepared in advance ensures a smoother journey abroad.
Don’ts: Common Mistakes to Avoid:
- Don’t work with unauthorised agents: There are many scams and frauds present in the immigration space that must be avoided at all costs. Verify your immigration agency’s credentials and always look for transparent and reputable agents.
- Don’t falsify documents: Falsifying data and information in your documents, whether you intended to or not, can lead to significant delays or even being banned from Canada. Providing accurate and true information proves that you are a trustworthy individual, which will allow a more successful journey abroad.
- Don’t apply without understanding the requirements of the programme: Applying for a visa or immigration programmes such as Express Entry without understanding the eligibility criteria or if it is the most suitable pathway for you can lead to unnecessary mistakes and disappointment.
- Don’t miss deadlines: The IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) will communicate to you about important deadlines or additional documents required via email or through their website. Ensure that you are up to date and provide timely responses to avoid delays or being rejected.
