Inquiry concerning HIIC and Victoria

You have to apply for permanent residency through Citizenship and Immigration Canada before you can come to Canada as anything other than a tourist or student. Tourists and students require another type of visa.

To see if you qualify to get a visa and work in Canada visit the official government website of Citizenship and Immigration Canada and fill out the online forms.

Thank you, will do!

Regarding the Helenic Immigration Initiative (HIIC) clearly any help and information you can get is worth having, especially if it's coming from your own ethnic community since it will be more directed to your personal needs.

Yes, I am sure they will get back to me as soon as they can. However, I am looking for someone who has already undergone the whole procedure to share his/hers experiences with me, if at all possible

BTW.... UVic has an excellent reputation. Actually all of the Canadian universities are known worldwide for quality in education. You'll love the city too, Victoria is just like a little piece of Britain in Canada.
