Applying for status is a suit and tie affair. You must look clean cut and the epitome of middle-class standards. To be more explicit beards, long hair, loud or weird clothing decrease one's chance of acceptance.
If you are married, you and your wife should apply at the same time, as this causes less confusion. In most cases only the husband need make application, but the wife should be present for the process and to take the medical. If you have been separated or divorced you must have a copy of the court decree or separation papers.
We recommend that you have $500 in cash or bank statement when you apply and more if your qualifications are below standard.
It is highly recommended, especially if you are below standard in any of the criteria for acceptance, that you have a letter of job confirmation at the time you apply. This holds especially true if you have marginal or poor employment qualifications, whether on entering Canada you intend to teach in the public schools, work in industry, or in an office. This will practically guarantee your acceptance if all other qualifications are met. Information regarding teaching can be obtained by writing to the provincial committee aiding war resisters in the province of your interest.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO HAVE:
1. Birth certificate or Baptismal papers.
2. Academic Diploma (High School and College).
3. About $500 cash, travelers cheques, or bank statement.
4. Passport photos.
5. Letter of Employment confirmation from intended em ployer.
ALSO VERY HELPFUL:
1. Passport.
2. Certificates of academic standing, letters or recommen dations, transcripts from college, etc.
3. Letter of financial support from parents.
EMPLOYMENT: ACT NOW
In the less populated more notherly areas of Quebec there are job opportunities in mining, pulp and paper, and construction which rate high within the immigration point-system for occupational demand.
In addition, federal government departments such as Indian Affairs, Natural Resources, and Northern Affairs offer positions with isolation pay in teaching, geological and other surveys, community development, etc. for those willing to spend some time in the "North".
