Canada 40000 Visa For Afghanistan

Canada’s new visa program for temporary foreign workers started on April 1, 2010. Under the program, a person is eligible for a 3-year work permit if the person is nominated by a Canadian employer, and can prove that he or she meets certain criteria. The purpose of this article is to examine whether this program creates opportunities for residents of Afghanistan who wish to move to Canada.

Canada is the most popular country connecting to Afghanistan through a shared border. As the distance between these countries is quite economical, people can travel in and out of Afghanistan freely, without any restriction on them. Canada has made huge contribution to the economic growth of Afghanistan by consecutive funding programs that support different sectors and public infrastructure in our country.

Canada 40000 Visa For Afghanistan

The best way to obtain this visa is by getting an invitation letter from your relative or a person of residency in Canada, who will be your host. And you can apply for a multiple entry visa. These kinds of applications are fast and simple to fulfill, once you have the right papers.

Canada’s Express Entry system will be accepting applications for a first-round draw of candidates for immigration to Canada in January. Each year, thousands of people apply for Canadian permanent resident (PR) status through this system.

Special Programs To Assist Afghan Nationals in Immigration to Canada

Canada has announced the resettlement of up to 20,000 vulnerable Afghan nationals to Canada. This will be done through

• a special immigration program for Afghan citizens including family members, who have previously assisted the Canadian government
• a special humanitarian program focused on resettling Afghan nationals who are outside of Afghanistan and who cannot stay in another country where they currently reside, including people such as
  • women leaders
  • human rights advocates
  • LGBTQIA individuals
  • journalists and people who assisted Canadian journalists
  • immediate family members of the above individuals
  • extended family members of previously resettled interpreters who assisted the Government of Canada

You don’t need to currently be in Afghanistan or go to Afghanistan if you are in another location to be eligible or to have your application processed.

If you’re outside of Afghanistan and need urgent protection, contact the nearest office of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
