How to Apply with CanadianDream.visa?
Step 1: Eligibility Consultation with Consultants
During this step, we check that you are not inadmissible to immigrate to Canada. This means you must meet the minimum requirements to immigrate to Canada, including, have good health, a clean criminal record and be of qualifying age.
Step 2: Immigration Program Evaluation By an RCIC
During this step, you are required to complete an in-depth online questionnaire which will be evaluated by one of our professional Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs). The RCIC will analyze which of the more than 100 immigration and visa programs you qualify for to immigrate to Canada, and in which province offers the most opportunities for you.
