There are not as many Ugandan Canadians as other foreign nationals. Ugandan Canadians refer to those who have Ugandan descent and live in Canada. Canada is said to be a very well kept secret from Ugandans! Although Canada is one of the most welcoming countries for immigrants, Ugandan immigrants are not very prevalent in Canada. If you are a Ugandan national now is a great time to start a new life or improve your live in this diverse country.

Although most immigrants that move to Canada choose Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, etc. most Ugandans don’t choose the obvious province!

  • Leadership training workshops

Migrants from Uganda have moved to Canada through a variety of pathways, including employment and family class sponsorship. Through the Canadian immigration programs that fall under these categories, as well as a few more, an individual may apply to become a Canadian permanent resident.

Working in Canada

South African skilled workers immigrating to Canada may be eligible to apply for permanent residency under the Express Entry category. Within this program, one may apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, or one of the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP). Each of these programs has unique requirements. Immigrants may also apply for visas as investors or entrepreneurs. Speaking to an immigration professional will be helpful in determining eligibility, as well as which program is best for each individual.

Family Sponsorship

Immigrants with family members in Canada who are permanent residents or citizens may immigrate under the sponsorship of these relatives. Therefore, having a parent, grandparent, child, or spouse in Canada may be beneficial to certain individuals hoping to migrate. Speak to an immigration professional to learn more about the family sponsorship pathway, and to help determine your eligibility.
