Settling abroad in one of the world’s leading countries is one of the most life-changing things you can do. Some of the biggest reasons people settle abroad are:

Better salary and job prospects

Migration is all about relocating from one place to another. Usually, there might be diverse push and pull factors at work, either working on their own or together.

Pull factors – factors that draw a newcomer to a specific country – are primarily social and economic. Economic migration is when an individual moves abroad to find work or follow a carefully laid career path.

On the other hand, social migration is when an individual relocates overseas for a better quality of life or to be closer to family.

Generally, the top three reasons believed to be the motivating factors for migrating overseas are –

Increased earning potential,

More job opportunities, and

Better healthcare and education.

Immigration and visa process

Permanent residency might be gained through different routes. The most common ways of becoming a permanent resident are through–

the work stream,

the family stream,

the study stream or

an investor stream

If eligible, you might be able to acquire permanent residence straightaway, provided immigration routes suitable for your individual circumstances are available, open, and accepting applications.

Conversely, you might opt to go to a foreign country to study abroad or work overseas first and apply for permanent residence later on. Working or studying abroad might make you eligible for different immigration streams of the country that you study/work in. For example, previous and recent Canadian work experience makes you eligible for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Canada’s Express Entry.

Moreover, many countries allow you to stay back in the country after you have completed your study abroad. Countries such as the UK, Germany, the US, Australia, and Canada offer post-study work options.

Generally, a country’s family stream permanent residency is available for partners, children, parents, or other dependent relatives of an individual who is either a permanent resident or citizen of that country.

Under the workstream immigration pathway, you can gain permanent residence based on your having the skills in demand or being sponsored by an employer in that country for a work-based visa. Other pathways for permanent residence are also available. These vary from country to country.
