Immigration Corner | How does Canada screen individuals?

  Loss of Fingers and Biometrics  Dear Miss Powell, I am contemplating applying to live in Canada, but so many of my friends have been rejected. Now, I’m wondering: how does Canada screen individuals to decide who will get a visa? What are they looking for? I was told that they need to take your fingerprints, but I had an accident a few years ago and I loss two of my fingers. Will this stop me from qualifying? I hope that my question is selected for publication. – A.N. Dear A.N., I am sorry to hear about the loss of your fingers and trust that it has healed, without debilitating effects. You should not let your injury prevent you from applying for permanent residence, if you can prove that you are admissible. When an individual applies to live permanently in Canada, the government does a background check on everyone to ensure that anyone that is granted entry will not negatively affect the health, safety, and security of those living in Canada.
