First of all, It is not true that an immigration lawyer will decrease your waiting time, that’s totally untrue. It would make your life easier somehow, but won’t give you any priority or shorter delays. Besides you can do the papers yourself.

1. *What is this person’s likelihood of being granted immigration to Canada?
If you have visited Canada or live in Canada you will have even more points, if you wish to immigrate as skilled Immigrant.
You are profesional and if you have years of experience your chances of getting the Permanent resident are very high.

2. *Can someone describe the process for me?
There are different immigrations schemes for Canada.
One of them is Family integration, if you have close relatives like parents, or brothers, sisters, husband or a fiancee they might be able to sponsor your application.

Another method is if you are a business investor. You must have more than 250K and willing to invest that money in a business. You can’t invest in real state, i.e. buy a house.

The third one is the Skilled Immigrant program. If you have a degree, you speak well English or/and French and have some years of experience this might give you a chance.
This is a points based system. If you pass the mark you can apply and you would be likely to suceed. Visit http://www.cic.gc.ca To get all the info on this.

3. *Would this person be able to immediately enter work in his/her field or would they be required to re-do their graduate or even undergraduate degree(s)?

Not, most likely you won’t get a good job according to your qualifications in 3 to 5 years time (There are stats that proof this). As mention above, Canada is very competitive and they prefer to employ people with Canadian degrees and/or Canadian experience.
If you have the money and the patience to study again, do a postgraduate degree in Canada, it will improve your chances of landing a good job,. Otherwise be prepared for disappointments and jobs that are way below your education level.

and while you are waiting, try to get an international work experience some place else. before coming to Canada, make yourself so valuable to a future employer that they can’t afford not to hire you.

wasteful amount of Canadians with MBA are looking for jobs, so remember whom you are competing with in Canada.

and perhaps be ready to change your career as many doctors, lawyers, business professionals who are foreign trained drive cabs in Canada. I read an article on a Chinese real ROCKET SCIENTIST who helped China launch a rocket into space, working at a donut shop in Toronto.

1.well it depends on what method of immigration you are preferring.
2. any method you chose its gonna take more than 5 years. my dad’s friend had applied for his brother in bangladesh 10 years ago still no results.
3. if you are a well educated person you will have to be in a canadian school for at least 1 year before you can hope of doing anything career wise.

good luck purnima
