Landing in Canada with visa in hand and papers in order is the great achievement of every immigrant, but there is still a long way to go. After the visa, the paperwork and advice is still more than ever.
Now a new life full of opportunities awaits you, with laws and rules you need to know for a quick, safe and successful adaptation. But what legal steps do you need to take to stay, work and even protect your loved ones in your new country?
In this blog, I share a simple guide to your first post-visa steps to successfully, legally and safely settle in Canada. Read to the end and take note of each one - let's get started!
In Canada, even as an immigrant, the laws protect you. The place where you are going to live must not only be comfortable and practical, it must also legally protect you with a valid and fair lease. This document is of great importance and it is imperative that you understand the terms of your agreement, your rights as a tenant and local security deposit laws.
An error in signing could lead to disputes or financial loss. The lease should be drafted with details that demonstrate transparency about the rent, the services included and responsibilities of both parties. Pay attention to the rules on security deposits, as there are limits on how much the landlord can charge .
If you are not yet familiar with the environment, before starting any procedure on your own, it is best to seek the advice of a specialized and certified professional who will guarantee you a fair contract and protect your interests.
If you plan to work in Canada, you should know your rights. Your employment contract is more than an agreement: it is the basis of your employment relationship.
If your goal is to become an entrepreneur, you must be familiar with business law and understand that success and economic prosperity are based on provincial laws.
On the labor side, an expert can help you understand your salary, the hours you can work, how vacation time and other benefits are handled, so that you are not a victim of abuse.
As an entrepreneur, you must tread this path with confidence and precision. This ranges from the choice of the type of company (partnership, corporation) to registration and compliance with regulations.
Coming to Canada and settling down with your family takes a lot of effort. This achievement is worth taking care of because life is unpredictable and there are unwanted circumstances that can arise far from your country. That is why protecting your loved ones is a priority. You have the right to leave a will that preserves your wishes for the well-being of your family.
A lawyer can guide you in drafting a well-drafted document according to the laws of your province to protect your assets, or in creating family agreements. You need to understand the inheritance and family law in your locality as a way to ensure long-term peace in the home.
To ensure your well-being in Canada, be proactive.
The visa is the key that unlocks the door to Canada, but once in the country, knowing the laws is the path that will give you the foundation for a successful life as an immigrant.
