What are my options for residency as an expat?

As an expat, your residency options typically include work visas, student visas, family reunification, and permanent residency. What country are you considering?

I'm looking at moving to Canada. What specific options do I have?

In Canada, you can apply for a work permit, study permit, or through the Express Entry system for permanent residency. Do you have a job offer or are you planning to study?

I have a job offer. How does the work permit process work?

With a job offer, you can apply for a Temporary Foreign Worker Permit. Your employer will need to get a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to prove they need a foreign worker. Would you like more details on that?

Yes, please! What steps do I need to take?

First, your employer applies for the LMIA. Once approved, you can apply for the work permit online or at a visa application center. Make sure to gather all necessary documents!
