Migrate to Canada seems to be a new trend among Latinos after the ‘American Dream’ has faded in the US. In general, it is known that the Canadian Government, despite the recent restrictions implemented towards Mexicans, continues to be a very friendly country for migration legal. For this reason, it is not surprising that many embark on this adventure, but curiously, it is believed that it is something ‘only for young people;’ Thus, many people who want to move countries give up on their dreams because they are in their ’30s’ or just over 40 years.

How can I migrate to Canada if I am almost 40 years old?
If you have 40 years or more, you’ve probably heard that ‘you’ve already missed the boat’ for migration. With so many study programs and Work Holiday Visas that put a limit of 25 years of age to apply, the options are reduced for the most ‘veteran’ profiles, BUT they are not impossible.

The key to being able to stay lies in two factors: studying a program in a less crowded city in Canada (forget about Vancouver and Toronto,) and make sure that your school is public and bears the seal of ‘Designed Learning Institution – DLI.) This way, not only will you be able to work part-time while you study, but you will also be able to work full-time as soon as you graduate and obtain your Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP.)
It should be noted that the duration of your PGWP will be equivalent to the duration of your study program; and although it is true that this will not guarantee you migrate After graduation, it will make it easier for you to find a job in Canadian companies (especially since foreign experience does not usually weigh too much in most industries.) In addition, to cope with your age and earn migration points under the Canadian program Class Experience; It is essential that you opt for small cities; that in turn, can offer you a Provincial Nomination (PNP) to boost your profile.
