I am a web developer from India and considering about moving to Canada. I would like to know about what all factors to be considered before deciding. Is there any problem if I would like to bring my family? Does the newly started express entry programs apply in my case? One of my friend in Canada suggested to contact any immigration lawyers like Matthew Jeffery in Bay Street. Do you guys have any suggestion to where else should I contact to get more info?

Your best place to start is http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/getting-started.asp. This will tell you whether you're eligible for immigration.

If you qualify to apply via the skilled worker program then you would need to complete an Express Entry Profile.

You may be able to include your spouse and children on the application to come with you to Canada. Once you are a Canadian permanent resident you then have the option to sponsor other family members to come to Canada - see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/index.asp

I sponsored my wife from the PHILIPPINES. They checked every employer, neighbor, teacher, school, everything making sure. She was told by her doctor for her medical exam that it was a good thing she didn't have tattoo's which would have to be recorded in her report. Who knows whats in the minds and hearts of the CIC?

Emmanuel123 - Look through the Citizenship and Immigration website carefully. Roger Bhatti is a really good immigration lawyer out of Richmond or Vancouver, BC. He is Indo-Canadian himself. He won against CIC is some noteworthy immigration cases. He's good. Were you thinking of Vancouver as a possible destination? SUG

forgot to mention...the Loonie is 82 cents on the American Eagle. Timing of exchange rates is everything. I am with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, but there are some sharks there too.
