Are you thinking of migrating? Here are 5 important things to consider before taking the next steps.
This subject is one that needs to be addressed from a personal point of view. Firstly, When considering moving to any country the best question to ask oneself is "why do i want to migrate". Once you can successfully answer this question from the depth of your heart and find convincing answers you can now go ahead and strategize. The reason for this is because most people do not have concrete reasons for migrating and therefore lose focus.
The second thing to do is to research pathways that are of interest to you and to the country of your choice. In canada however, there are several of these pathways to follow, you just have to choose the one that suit you and follow it through.
The third thing to do is to start early. From my own point of view it is advisable that you start one year before your intended travel date. This is because you need time to plan adequately and also to allow for time delays in application process. This is particularly for intended immigrants wishing to go through the study route.
The fourth thing to do before migrating is making sure that you have enough funds to cater for your needs for atleast 3 months. This would make you more relaxed and give you time to search and land your dream time.
The fifth thing is to build connections on linkedin or social media, so as to socialise and gain valuable referrals. This will make your transition process very seamless and easy. Also its important to be prepared for the cultural shock and read about canada's culture and weather conditions so as to get accustomed to it before arrival.
Ultimately, immigration is an exciting thing to do, it is an open door for new opportunities, to learn about different cultures, to visit new places, meet new people, and a new life to start. The button line is that you should be flexible in order to successfully doing that and in order to face every difficulty and challenging situations. If you can do this, it will be more enjoyable and easier for you to live in another country.
