Migration methods and general conditions
In order to check the costs of migration, at first we will check the methods of migration in general. The methods of migration are generally divided into 7 categories. Birth, marriage, asylum seeking, work, education and investment are some of the immigration methods, each of which will be briefly described below:
Birth
Getting a residence permit through the birth of a child in different countries is related to the right of soil and blood. In countries such as Canada and the United States which follow the right of soil, the child will be granted a residence permit and citizenship when the he/she is born in the territory of these countries. However, in countries such as Austria, the Netherlands and other European countries that follow the right of blood, the father or mother of the child who was born must be a citizen of that country in order for them to be able to transfer their residence permit and citizenship to their child.
Marriage
By marrying a foreigner who is a citizen of another country, a residence permit can be obtained, and its general conditions depend on the type of that country.
Asylum seeking
One of the most dangerous methods is asylum seeking, which is illegal and is not recommended at all. Migrating as a refugee to Canada or any other countries, in addition to financial losses, also includes life-threatening risks.
Education
Education starts from schools and international students can get admitted to universities at various education levels. This is possible in most of the European countries, Canada and Australia. For example, tuition fees at universities in European countries vary between 8,000 to 12,000 euros per year. It is also possible to migrate to Germany through free education in this country, which requires a German language certificate.
Work
The costs migration through work (migrate as workers) is lower than other methods. Migration through work is generally possible in two ways: using a job offer or through a job search visa (job seeker visa). It is possible to migrate to Germany through work and obtaining a job search visa. In addition to Germany, Austria also offers jobseekers visas.
investment
Migration through investment requires more capital than previous methods. For example, it is possible to get a residence permit by buying a property in countries such as Greece, Portugal and Spain. You can get a residence permit in Europe by buying a property, in Greece by having 250 thousand Euros, in Portugal by having at least 280 thousand Euros and in Spain by having 500 thousand Euros.
Categorizing the costs of immigration
The cost of migrating to Canada, or generally to any of the European countries, has different parts, which include the cost of counseling, advocacy, and the living expenses in the destination country.
The costs of an immigration lawyer
There may be different immigration methods depending on each person’s circumstances. The cost of a lawyer, which is part of the costs of immigration, may vary greatly depending on the immigration method you choose and each person’s personal file. For example, migrating to Canada through work is quite different from migrating through investment cases, and the immigration lawyer will be spending different times on each of these cases. The cases of migration through investment will generally require more time and also more documents. Therefore, the costs of representing such a case and this process may be higher than the costs of other methods.
The costs of immigration counseling service and visa guarantee fees
Following the previous discussions about the costs of the migration, the necessity of consulting an immigration lawyer was proved. Consultation with immigration lawyers is essential for getting information about the preparation of the required documents and getting information about the risks of these methods. Another issue is immigration laws, these laws are always changing and if you do not have enough information or knowledge about them you can’t have a risk-free application. Therefore, in order to guarantee the immigration method and getting a visa, you better consult immigration lawyers and follow the rules. The cost of immigration counseling services also varies greatly according to the individual’s personal circumstances and the immigration method that they choose. For example, the cost of counseling on education methods vary compared to the costs of counseling on the marriage method.
