Moving from Europe to Canada? Download Our Free 10-Step Checklist
Thinking about moving to Canada from the UK, Ireland or elsewhere in Europe? The hardest part is often knowing where to start. We put the first steps into a free two-page checklist you can download, print and tick off as you go.
What the checklist covers
Picking the immigration pathway that fits you: working holiday, Express Entry, provincial nominee programs or a work permit
Whether you can use a working holiday (IEC), if you're under 35
Booking an approved language test, even if English is your first language
Using your French, if you speak it
Getting your degree assessed with an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)
Checking whether your job is regulated in Canada
Planning your proof of funds
Collecting police certificates early
Preparing for arrival: health coverage, driving licence, housing and your SIN
Getting advice only from a licensed professional
Who it's for
The checklist is for people in the UK, Ireland and the rest of Europe who are at the start of their planning. It gives you the order of the main steps, so you don't lose months on something that should have come first, like a credential assessment or a professional licence.
Want a plan for your own situation?
Every case is different. A consultation with a licensed consultant helps you compare your options and build a step-by-step plan that fits your age, work experience, language skills and family.
