Migrate in Canada

Good Day guys. My name is Allan, and currently residing here in Jeddah as a Database Administrator. I'm planning to apply a permanent residence visa to ontario canada. I have 1st degree relatives there who are canadian citizens and have been living there for more than 20 years. Now i would just like to ask if there are ways i can apply as an immigrant. Or would it be much easier to apply as a skilled worker rather than as an immigrant

Thanks

Hi Allan,

It would all depend on the degree of afinity (relationship) with your family members here, but still probably more effective through the Skilled Worker Program. Visit the official government website for Citizenship and Immigration Canada, fill out the online forms and see.
