Now that you know more about several of the Canadian immigration programs that are available, itâs time to make an actionable plan for which steps to take in order to get your immigration process started. Letâs take a closer look at each step:
- Find the Best Place to Live in Canada
Settling in Canada should not be a painful task; rather, it should be fun, since it will be a new place for you to start a new life, and you can build it wherever and however you want â thatâs exciting!
What you need is to make sure that the place you choose meets all of your needs.
For example, some Kuwaitis are used to hotter climates than Canada generally offers, so choosing Vancouver may be a good option â it is in the warmer province of British Columbia, where the weather is more generous with sunshine, yet you get to experience all other seasons as well.
If you have a larger family, and your budget is tighter than that of a single person, then considering moving to a more cost-attractive city that will make more sense for you, such as  Winnipeg in Manitoba province.
Some of the most popular destinations for Kuwaiti expatriates include Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.
These cities are popular due to their large Arab populations, abundance of job opportunities and they are great places to live in Canada.
- Choose the Right Canadian Visa Program
Choosing the right Canadian visa program is one of the most important steps to take for emigration from Kuwait to Canada.

- Gather Supporting Documents
Once you choose the most fitting Canadian visa program for your profile, you can then start gathering the documents that will be needed to show that you meet the eligibility requirements.
Everything you state on your Canadian visa application will need to be supported by appropriate documentation.
If your documents are not in English or French (the two official languages in Canada), you will need to make sure they are translated.
- English or French Language Evaluation
One of the requirements to emigrate from Kuwait to Canada as a skilled foreign worker is to get a passing score on an approved English or French language exam, such as the IELTS General Training Exam (for English) or the TEF Canada Exam (for French).
Even if you are a native speaker of English or French, it is important to prepare for the evaluation exam, so that you can achieve the highest score possible.
The score required will depend on which Canadian immigration program a skilled foreign worker is applying for.
- Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)
If you are applying for Express Entry immigration to Canada from Kuwait through the FSWP and you obtained your education outside of Canada, you will need to get an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) for immigration purposes from the designated organization that is relevant for your occupation.
The purpose of the ECA is to determine if your education obtained outside of Canada is valid and equivalent to an education received inside Canada.
The procedure to file your application to immigrate to Canada from Kuwait will depend on which Canadian visa program you are applying for (for example, international student, temporary foreign worker, permanent resident via the FSWP, FSTP, CEC, PNP, etc.).
Many of the Canadian immigration programs have a preliminary application that is completed first, such as filing an Express Entry profile or submitting an application for a PNP, and then some kind of invitation to apply or nomination must be received from the relevant authorities before you can apply to become a Canadian permanent resident with the federal immigration agency.
For example, if you apply for emigration from Kuwait to Canada through the FSWP, you will file an online Express Entry profile and if you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA), you will have 60 days to submit your Canadian Permanent Residency Application and should receive a decision in 6 months or less.
Canadian Visa Expert collaborates with authorized immigration consultants who can guide you through the application process to make it easier for you to complete correctly.
To qualify for immigration to Canada from Kuwait, you and your accompanying family members will need to complete a medical exam with a medical professional who is authorized for Canadian immigration purposes.
This exam, which is done toward the end of the Canadian immigration process, is necessary to ensure that you are healthy and can safely reside in Canada.
An official police certificate from a designated authority that proves that you donât have a criminal record is required when applying to become a Canadian permanent resident if you and your accompanying family member(s) are at least 18 years of age for each country lived in for 6 or more months in a row during the past 10 years.
Please note that a police certificate is not necessary for time spent living in Canada or for time periods when a family member was under 18 years of age.
Submitting your biometrics is another required step when you immigrate to Canada from Kuwait as a new Canadian permanent resident, however, it is an easy one to complete.Â
As a Canadian visa applicant, you must have your fingerprints and photograph taken at one of the many authorized Visa Application Centers located around the world.
