Canada’s immigration services are linked to its citizenship registration agencies by the Immigration & Citizenship Canada department. The agency provides potential immigrants with information on Canadian immigration.
People have several options when immigrating to Canada, according to Citizenship & Immigration Canada. These options include immigration as a skilled worker, being a provincial nominee or an entrepreneur.
To cross the Canadian border and enter the country immigrants need certain documents. Each person entering Canada must have a valid passport or travel documents and must have a visa and proof of permanent residence.
When entering Canada as an immigrant, a list of goods brought with the visa holder must be supplied to Canadian immigration officials. A second list of items that will be shipped into the country after the immigrant has entered Canada must also be supplied.
Upon entering Canada, an immigrant must inform a Canadian official if they are carrying more than $10,000 in Canadian currency. Failing to declare more than $10,000 could result in a fine or jail time.
