Frequently Asked Questions About Traveling To Canada


Question 1
Is my country Degree or Certificate accepted in Canada?
Answer
If you travel with visiting visa from your country and on getting to Canada you no longer want to go back to your country but you want to work that is when your certificate or degree is not recognized. This is because you don’t have a valid work permit from your country. You only came as a visitor. You can still work, however, it will not be a legally recognized job that suite your status. What to do to solve this problem?  You apply for a refugee status and wait to be considered. Once you are considered you will eventually be allowed to work with your certificate and enjoy your stay in Canada. Alternatively, before you travel to Canada make sure you secure job through the agencies or companies you find on the guide/ebook and that prompts the Canadian embassy to issue you work permit and visa which enables you to travel to Canada and work with your certificate or degree as the case might be.
