Additional Information:
There is a chance that upon arrival in Canada without visas and other things, you can apply for refugee status right at the border. It is advisable to have the appropriate forms with you. If they are not there, then you can fill everything in place, after which the immigration officer will conduct an interrogation. If you can convince the officer during the interview that certain serious circumstances forced you to flee your country, then you may be given a green light to immigrate to Canada.Obtaining refugee status by a foreign citizen in another country is a rather complicated process for which you need to prepare. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you familiarize yourself with all the requirements, conditions, opportunities, etc., which are established by Immigration and Refugee Canada. Also, it is worth consulting with a lawyer who has significant experience in such cases, preferably with a Canadian one.
Key points for applying:
1. Applying. To do this, you must contact the Immigration and Refugee Service of Canada, where the application is accepted, and several special questionnaires are issued. These questionnaires are filled out once and attached to the personal file of the applicant. Any subsequent change to the information on the application is regarded with suspicion by the Canadian government and may complicate the process, or in the worst case, be a reason for rejection. Therefore, it should be approached with all seriousness and it is recommended that you first consult with a specialist.
2. Interview. It is also an important step in the whole process. The interview is conducted by an immigration officer and asks various questions for an hour. Here you should also prepare in advance, because. the results of the interview are backed up to a personal file. If the interview is successful, the applicant is issued a document that gives the right to receive free medical care, financial support from the state or individuals/organizations, work permits, placement of children in schools, enrollment in Canadian language courses, etc.
3. Submission of a mutual fund. The PIF is a Personal Information Form that must be prepared and submitted to the Immigration Service within 28 days of the first interview. This document is a more detailed form of the original questionnaire. The PIF must list in sequence all the facts relating to persecution or other reason that led to the application for refugee status. Additionally, it is necessary to submit documents confirming the persecution or infringement of the applicant's rights.
4. Listening. After filing the PIF, a few months later, the applicant is invited to a hearing. The main purpose of this procedure is to identify the compliance of the submitted information with reality. The case is taken by a member of the Refugee Board, and an official from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship may also be present. The applicant can represent himself or use the services of an experienced lawyer. As a rule, a decision is made immediately after the hearing.
5. Obtaining the status of "Permanent Resident of Canada". This status is awarded to a refugee in case of a positive outcome of the hearing. Permanent resident status entitles you to medical care (except for cosmetic surgery, dental services, and eye treatment), official employment, free education in a public high school, a study of English / French.

Pilot Atlantic program to Canada. The Atlantic Canada Pilot Program (AIPP) has simplified requirements for almost every indicator: language, education, work experience. The purpose of this program is to populate the Atlantic part of Canada and solve the problem of labor shortage in the four Atlantic provinces of Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island). The hardest part of this program is finding an employer, but recently each of the provinces has published a list with all the information you need. As soon as the employer finds a candidate who fully meets the requirements of their vacancy, they can enter into an employment contract with him, because the AIPP program does not require a permit to attract foreign labor (Labor Market Impact Assessment, LMIA). And if the candidate agrees to the terms of the employment contract, the employer sends them to an authorized center, which helps to draw up a plan for moving and settling. Employers will also be involved in the process of integrating new immigrants and their families in a new place.The fee is divided into two parts: Processing fee (825 USD) and right of permanent residence fee (500 USD)

Taxes
In 2022, all citizens of Canada, regardless of their type of activity, who work and receive income in the territory of the country, must deduct tax payments to the state treasury. Foreign citizens who stay in Canada for more than 183 days per year and receive income here are also required to pay tax contributions monthly.Taxation in Canada is characterized by various payments, which, in turn, are classified into such types as:
1. Direct.
2. Indirect.
3. Payroll taxes.
4. Payments for social protection of the population.
Most of the payments are income tax (32.3%). In second place are non-tax revenues. Their share is approximately 19.55% of the total. Only 8.5% is allocated to income taxes, and 11% to general taxes. Social contributions equal 6.6% of total tax contributions. Only 9.3% falls to the share of preferential taxes. The smallest percentage of the share goes to other territorial taxes and fees.
Income tax in Canada is called federal tax. Its size directly depending on the wages level. Societies, that is, legal entities, are also required to pay federal tax. But for them, there is a completely different scale of tax rates. The base rate is 30%. But if the company uses a loan, then the tax rate can range from 13 to 22%. Consumption tax is called VAT (In Canada, it is better known as GST - a tax on products and services). The tax rate ranges from 5 to 7%. The amount of tax directly depends on the territorial location.
In Canada, there is also a tax on the use of real property (1-2% of the total value of the estate). The tax is paid once a year. A similar tax must be paid by tenants of real estate. There is also a property acquisition tax. The tax rate is calculated individually. There is no tax on the sale of real estate in Canada. But this is only if, as a result of the sale, its owners did not receive additional profit. If in the past the house was purchased for a smaller amount than it was sold, then tax will be required on this difference.
In Canada, there are exceptions under which a citizen of this country may not pay taxes. This is usually how tax is paid on income, but if the sources of income are the following cases, then the taxpayer is excluded from payments:
1. Veterans' pensions.
2. Insurance claims for damages.
3. Income from the sale of own real estate.
4. State payments for children.
5. Scholarships.
6. Grants.
Also, if a resident of Canada receives less than $7,500 per year, then he is automatically exempt from paying taxes.
There are also simplified fee payment schemes. The simplified scheme implies benefits for payments. Benefits can only be used by:
1. Pensioners.
2. Low-income families.
3. Families are currently under the care of elderly parents.
4. Persons who previously used the services of paid medicine.
5. Disabled people.
6. Parents of children who are studying at a college or university (only those who independently pay for the education of their children).
7. Temporarily unemployed persons.
Education
Canada takes its education system very seriously. therefore, despite the fact that they are slightly different in each province, they are all united by high quality. In confirmation of this, Canadian students are constantly in the top 5 among English-speaking students in various subjects, including mathematics, literature and science. Due to this, it is rare to see private schools or universities in Canada.In Canada, regular school, as in many other countries, lasts 12 years. The only exception is the province of Quebec, where studies last 11 years. Also, diplomas from Canadian schools are accepted by universities around the world. However, the training there is far from free. In a public institution, you will have to pay from 10,500 to 23,000 Canadian dollars. In private schools - from 23,000 to 60,000 Canadian dollars.
higher education is divided into: technical training (2-3 years); bachelor's degree (4 years); master's and doctoral studies. Tuition costs from 11,721 USD to 35,164 USD per year, MBA programs - up to 42,978 USD per year. It is worth laying a minimum of 7,814 USD/year for accommodation. Admission to the bachelor's degree is possible after the 11th grade of school (except, as always, Quebec). For successful admission, you need to have an average score above 3.0/4.0. Many universities require the evaluation of foreign educational documents with a preliminary apostille. It is also worth remembering that due to the differences between the provinces, the admission system is also different for everyone. It is also mandatory to take language tests. For English, this is an IELTS test, for French - DELF/DALF. And as always, Quebec acts as an exception here, where training is conducted exclusively in French. According to the visa requirements, a foreign student can only enroll in accredited educational institutions. In case of refusal of a visa, you can re-apply an unlimited number of times, but each time you have to pay a consular fee of 117 USD. It is also necessary to prove that you are not going to immigrate under the pretext of education. Then graduates have the right to obtain a special work permit - Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) for a period of 3 years.
Enrollment in Canadian universities takes place twice a year: in September and January. Some universities sometimes offer a third set. Acceptance of documents begins a year before the expected start of training, and official responses from educational institutions will begin to arrive a month after filling out the application. It is worth considering that admissions committees often consider applications as they are received and within a certain quota, and therefore early submission of documents significantly increases the chances of a candidate.
Healthcare
In Canada, there's a public service called Medicare and each province has its health insurance program. In general, they do not differ much, but there are certain features in payment.Newly arrived immigrants need to get a health insurance card as soon as possible. It, like a driver's license, is a document proving your identity. The health insurance card is issued by the province where you live. To obtain a health insurance card, you must fill out an application form. It can be obtained at the clinic, hospital, pharmacy, or Immigrant Assistance Organization. You need to get an ID document (passport) and a Permanent Residence Confirmation (IMM 5292), or a Permanent Residence Card with you. However, for the first three months after entering Canada, you are not eligible for the national health insurance policy. That is why you are invited to buy insurance from any of the proposed insurance companies. Keep in mind that regular health insurance does not cover ambulance services, dentistry, prescriptions for medicines, and eyeglasses.
Refugees can receive free ambulance care and essential services during the first three months of the temporary federal health care program in Canada.
When Canadians need medical care, they go to a general practitioner or clinic and present their health insurance card. They don't pay for medical services provided, and they don't need to use various forms for services covered by an insurance policy. There are no limits in terms of money or additional payments on such services. If you have a chronic disease, it is your responsibility to report it to your family doctor for medical assistance.
Dentists work independently of the health care system, except when emergency dental surgery is required. Pharmacies are also independent of public organizations.
Provinces and territories offer free medical services to the part of the population that needs additional services - aged people, children, and the unemployed. These additional health care packages often include free medicines, dental care, eye care, disability accommodations, and more.
If you need an emergency ambulance, call 911.
Canada has a Population Immunization Schedule. For example, some vaccines are given to children at 2 months of age, some at 4 months of age, and so on. Get an updated Immunization Schedule from your pediatrician, as the Schedule may vary by Province. Information about vaccinations for school-aged children can be obtained from the Immunization Department of your City Council. Adult immunization in Canada is also important. If you want to get vaccinated, it is necessary to see your family doctor.
Maternity leave is the right of all mothers in Canada. Temporary disability benefit is acquired due to pregnancy, illness of one of the relatives, as well as appearance, who are injured at the workplace or for those who suffer from chronic diseases. The allowance is issued throughout treatment. After that, a pension or a large one-time payment is due.

Сlimate in different countries |
Climate in Canada at different times of the year:
Spring. Spring here is very similar to autumn. The temperature is almost the same, and the rains are like the middle of October. Although the first warming begins at this time, it is usually cool in the evenings, and summer in Canada comes quite late - in the twentieth of June. Flowers begin to bloom as early as March, and the first rain leaves appear late - they can only be seen in April or May. The warmest weather in spring tends to be in Vancouver and Victoria.
Summer. In Canada, despite the prejudice, quite a warm summer. The average summer temperature is close to 20 degrees. Without taking into account the northern parts of the country, of course, where negative temperatures are observed even in July. Summer here is characterized by minimum temperature ranges.
Autumn. Canada is a country with great natural beauties. More than half of its territory is covered by forests, so the views that can be seen in autumn are difficult to describe in words. In just an instant, a real country turns into a fairy tale adorned with golden trees, attracting people from all over the world. The temperature here is quite cool, and frequent precipitation is quite common. So everywhere except the west, where summer lasts long enough, snow falls as early as early November.
Winter. Of course, the further north, the colder. In some regions, the temperature can drop as much as 15 degrees below zero. In general, winter in most of Canada comes into its own at night, when cold winds blow and sub-zero temperatures last all day.
The annual amount of temperature fluctuates between 150 mm and up to 1250 mm at the northern tip. on the Atlantic and 2500 mm. on the islands of the Pacific. On the Atlantic coast, as a result of the interaction of continental and Atlantic air masses, the weather is unstable, storms are frequent in winter and heavy snowfalls, the warm period lasts in summer than in other eastern countries, but it is never particularly hot. There is a partial and sharp change in atmospheric pressure.
