Here are some general requirements for immigration to Canada. Skilled foreign workers must have an adequate level of English or French language skills, as demonstrated by achieving a sufficient score on an authorized evaluation exam, such as the IELTS for English or TEF for French. Foreign workers who are applying for a Canadian visa will usually need to possess a recognized post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree related to their occupation. They will also need at least 1-2 years of paid work experience within the previous 5-10 years (depending on the Canadian immigration program) in a qualifying occupation related to their education. Some Canadian visa programs for skilled foreign workers require that a minimum amount of points be received for various factors (such as age, English/French language skills, education, work experience, etc.). You and all family members who will immigrate to Canada with you must be in good health (a medical exam may be required). Furthermore, you and all family members who will move to Canada with you must have good character (a police certificate may be requested).
