Can UK citizens live in Canada?
The immigration process in Canada offers no favouritism based on nationality. Being a UK citizen is irrelevant these days. Possibly before 1982 it might have helped but now all applications are dealt with on merit.Canada has a positive approach to immigration but expects you to be able to assimilate. To gain citizenship it is necessary to be proficient in either English or French and to understand the history and origins of the country. Unless you are older you may be required to write an exam and also take tests to prove your language proficiency.A UK citizen can live for six months in Canada as a tourist before needing to apply for a visa for a further six months. As a tourist you are ineligible for health care so need your own insurance. You are also forbidden to work, even as a volunteer. You cannot take work from a Canadian so even shoveling a driveway or doing menial work to cover your costs is forbidden.These rules apply to all potential new Canadians although special categories exist for asylum seekers and entertainers and actors.Trying to move an elderly parent or relative from the UK to join a family in Canada can be very difficult and require them to pass medical exams. This prevents undue strain on the healthcare program.I moved here from the UK at fifty, after a heart attack and bypass. I know.
Triple citizenship? US, UK, and Canada?
There are many ways that someone could be a dual citizen of Canada, The UK and the United States: 1) Both Canada and the U.S. follow a "citizen by birth" rule. Essentially, anyone born in the U.S. is an American citizen, and anyone born The UK is British, and in Canada your a Canadian. 2) Both Canada, the U.S., and The UK ( British citizenship by descent only passes down one generation. Unless either of your parents were British-born, you don't have it. Grandparents don't count) permit people to have citizenship by descent. So if an American person has a baby in Canada, the baby will be American by virtue of having an American parent. The baby will also be Canadian by virtue of having been born in Canada (as per point #1, above). The same situation would apply if a Canadian went to the U.S. and had a child there. 3) Both Canada, Britain, and the U.S. permit citizenship by the process called "naturalization." Once someone completes certain residency requirements in either the U.S., Canada, or Britain that person can apply for citizenship in whichever country he/she is living. So if an American gets transferred to a job in Canada and ends up living there for several years, that American could apply for Canadian citizenship(same with Britain). The same is true if a Canadian moves to the U.S(or Britain). and lives there for a certain number of years. For instance, if a Canadian, or Britain got married to an American and moved to the U.S., then that Canadian/Britain could eventually apply for U.S. citizenship after a few years of permanent residency in the U.S. Canada, Britain and the U.S. also recognize Triple citizenship. Anyone who states otherwise is on this message board is incorrect. It is true that some countries will take away citizenship when their citizens acquire the citizenship of another nation. However, neither Canada, Britain nor the U.S. follow that idea. So if an American moves to Canada/Britain and acquires Canadian citizenship, that American is still considered a U.S. citizen in the eyes of the U.S. government. So, to put this answer short, yes you can :)
As a UK Citizen, can I get a working visa once I arrive in Canada?
No, you must get a work permit before you arrive in Canada.
Does a Canadian citizen have the right to work in the UK?
Not by default, no. Canada and the UK don’t have a cross-border freedom of movement arrangement like within the EU.A Canadian who is over 17 and has a grandparent born in the UK and can prove this through documentation, including the grandparent’s full birth certificate, can be eligible to apply for an ancestry visa. This visa allows a Canadian to work in the UK for up to 5 years, the qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain (the UK sort-of-permanent resident status).Canadians between 18 and 30 can also apply for the Tier 5 Youth Mobility visa, which allows someone to work in the UK for up to 2 years.Of course, there are also the standard immigration routes.
Can a citizen of India apply for a UK visitor visa while in the US?
It's your citizenship that is considered when applying for a tourist visa not where you apply from. If you can meet the criteria , complete an application form, provide any evidence required pay the fee you will be considered just like everyone else. Just keep in mind a visa grant to anywhere is a privilege not a right.
How much is a Working Holiday Visa in Canada?
I remember getting a Working Holiday Visa for the UK from Canada. Figured I would look into this for you. Kind of "return the favour" for some people who helped me at that time, lol. What I found is: "Canada Citizens of.... , the UK and the US are eligible for a Canadian working holiday visa, so long as they fulfil certain criteria which are specific to each country. Age limits are from 18-30 for most countries; 18-35 for citizens of Czech Republic, Italy and Ireland. Some countries' programs specify that the applicant must be a full-time student; others do not, and some have separate programmes for students and non-students. The type of work allowed and the maximum duration of stay depends on the applicant's country of residence." The Canadian High Commission in London is responsible for WHP applications from citizens of the U.K. Information on the UK WHP is available at www.canada.org.uk/ (link listed below). So there you have all my findings below on this subject. Lots of links with lots of varied information. Hopefully you get some queries answered by all this. Good luck! Wendy
Can I work in Canada on a British passport?
There are umpteen ways to work in Canada, and in almost all cases you will need a work permit.There are open work permits -- not tied to an employer, and there are closed work permits that are tied to a specific employer and which require pre-arranged job offers.Canada has bilateral agreements with some 30 countries allowing the citizens of each country to work in one another's jurisdiction. This program is known as International Experience Canada.Go to the following link for more details: Work and travel in Canada with International Experience CanadaProvided you meet the minimum eligibility criteria, the easiest way to obtain a work permit is under the International Experience Canada (IEC) program. The IEC program is subject to an annual quota, so you must apply as soon as the quota is open, usually at the beginning of November for work permits to be issued in the next calendar year. For the UK, the quota is around 5000 work permits.To apply, go to the Eligibility section and choose your country of nationality and the programs that are on offer for citizens of that country. For example, UK citizens are eligible to apply for the Working Holiday program (WHP) only. But citizens of other countries may be able to apply for up to three programs - the WHP, the Young Professionals Program and the International Coop Program.The government of Canada begins rounds of invitations starting in late November to qualified candidates. These are known as ITAs (Invitations to Apply). Applicants can track the number of people in the pool at any time and the chances of receiving an ITA.When registering your profile, never exagerate or lie about your qualifications, and be careful about 'innocent' errors. Why? Because later in the process supporting documentation will be requested. Many applicants find themselves in the embarrassing situation of having given erroneous information only to discover that it has earned them a 5-year ban from applying for any program in Canada.To apply for an employer-based work permit, most of the initiative has to be taken by the Canadian employer who is required to obtain an approved job offer on behalf of the foreign worker. Post a question about this process and I will answer it in more details.
Can I work in the UK with a Canadian passport, without a UK visa?
If you’re talking about coming here to be employed, living in the UK, then no, you need a visa.If you’re talking about a work trip (i.e. the company you work for in Canada has an office here, and is sending you here for 2–3 weeks to work in the office here). No, that doesn’t need a visa.If you’re coming here to work after studying - i.e. travelling while working…, Canada is a party to the Youth Mobility scheme, which if you’re between 18 and 31 and have £1,800 (or equivalent) in your bank account, gives you the right to work in the UK for up to two years (without needing to have a specific job offer in place, etc.)However, that is a visa.
