Parliament of Canada today approved a visa lottery program similar to
the U.S DV visa lottery which will give opportunity to winners to
settle in Canada, work and obtain Canadian Citizenship after 4 years for
16 eligible countries.
Prior to the approval of this bill, Canada used to run the Highly
Skilled Migrant Program which is tailored for skilled workers from
certain categories to enter and work in Canada.Eligible countries include Oman, Ethiopia, Philippines, Ghana, Guyana, Jamaica, Nigeria, Gambia, Cameroon, Kenya, Pakistan, Zambia, Thailand, Uganda,Fiji and Lesotho.
Under the new visa lottery program, every winner is required to have obtained at least a high school education or its equivalent or have two years of recent work experience in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience. Vocational training is also considered a substitute for high school education unlike the U.S. DV Lottery.
