How to Apply for a Canada Visa from Qatar
Have you been wanting to apply for a Canada visa from Qatar but aren’t sure how to go about it or where to start? Deciding to immigrate to Canada is a big step, especially since there are so many things to think about before you do, such as how much it costs to live in Canada and what quality of life will be like for both you and your family, among others.
You may be wondering what level of healthcare and education Canada’s free public systems can provide, and not to mention whether or not there is a strong Qatari community in Canada. Are there enough jobs in Canada for skilled and unskilled immigrants alike that will pay you enough to be able to live affordably in Canada ?
The answer to all of these questions is that when you decide to move to Canada you will have said yes to a high quality of life including exceptional healthcare and education, a new career with exceptional work benefits and high paying salaries, and a new place to call home that is known for its multiculturalism, democracy, tolerance, and liberalism and not to mention its welcoming stance on immigration!
With over 341,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residency up for grabs in 2020 alone and close to 4,000 people receiving ITAs every two weeks through immigration programs and systems such as the Express Entry system and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), you could be living your Canadian dream sooner than you think.
How to Start the Canadian Immigration Process from Qatar
![How to Apply for a Canada Visa from Qatar man applying on Canada visa from Qatar](https://d1ac9zce9817ms.cloudfront.net/images/man-working-on-Canadian-visa-application-on-laptop%20%281%29-1594197531150.jpg)
Starting the visa application for Canada from Qatar can be confusing and time-consuming but with the right professional by your side and these 5 easy steps , it doesn’t have to be.
Step 1: Assess Your Eligibility
To ensure that you aren’t disappointed when you apply for your Canada visa it is important to find out:
- If you are admissible to Canada (eligible to enter Canada); and
- Which immigration programs you are eligible for.
This will save you both time and money in the long run as there are over 70 different immigration programs and visas to choose from, each with its own set of requirements that need to be met.
Step 2: Choose Your Destination
Choosing your destination is not required for immigration programs under the Express Entry system but will help you narrow down your options when determining which Immigration options are best suited to your needs. For example, programs such as the Atlantic Immigration Pilot and Rural and Northern Immigration Pilots are specific to certain provinces in Canada. It is also a good idea to do research on provinces and territories that suit your specific needs, particularly affordability and job demand. To find out where your job is in demand in Canada visit our blog here .
Step 3: Choose Your Immigration Program
Choosing the right program for you is essential to your success when you apply for your Canada visa. For example, Express Entry is one of the most popular ways to immigrate to Canada but did you know that if you expressing interest in a particular province or territory or apply through an Express Entry-linked PNP, you may receive a provincial nomination , which is worth 600 extra points and seeing as the average Express Entry draw cut off score is 470, having a PN will all but guarantee to receive an invitation to apply for permanent residency.
Step 4: Gather Your Supporting Documentation
Even though you will only need your supporting documents when you actually start the visa application process it’s always a good idea to gather them in advance so that they can be verified and ready to go when you apply for your Canada visa from Qatar. As the saying goes, time is money, and you don’t want to waste either, especially seeing as the Canadian government has strict deadlines that must be adhered to in order for your application to be accepted.
Step 5: Start Your Canada Visa Application
Once all your paperwork is in order you can now start the process of applying for your Canada visa . Be sure to fill in each section completely and correctly as any mistake could result in your application being returned and ultimately delaying the entire process.

Take normal security precautions in Qatar
Back to top
Regional conflicts
Conflicts in the Middle East and the Gulf region could affect Qatar. Regional tensions can flare up at any time, resulting in an unpredictable and volatile security situation.
- Monitor the security situation
- Follow the instructions of local authorities
There is a constant terrorist threat throughout the Arabian Peninsula. Reports of planned terrorist attacks occasionally emerge. Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Qatar.
Targets could include:
- government buildings, including schools
- places of worship
- airports and other transportation hubs and networks
- public areas such as tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping centres, markets, hotels and other sites frequented by foreigners
Always be aware of your surroundings when in public places.
Be particularly vigilant during:
- sporting events
- religious holidays
- public celebrations
- major political events, such as elections
Terrorists may use such occasions to mount attacks.
The crime rate is low and violence is rare. However, credit card fraud does take place. Ensure that personal belongings, including your passport and other travel documents, are secure at all times.
Women’s safety
Although rare, women travellers may be subject to some forms of harassment, verbal abuse, or physical assaults. Local authorities’ response to reports of sexual violence may differ substantially from the Canadian context. Foreign women have been detained and accused of extramarital sex after reporting sexual assault.
- Avoid travelling alone after dark
- Be careful when dealing with strangers or recent acquaintances
- If you are the victim of a sexual assault, you should report it immediately to the nearest Government of Canada office
Advice for women travellers
Demonstrations
Demonstrations may occur. Even peaceful demonstrations can turn violent at any time. They can also lead to disruptions to traffic and public transportation.
- Avoid areas where demonstrations and large gatherings are taking place
- Monitor local media for information on ongoing demonstrations
Mass gatherings (large-scale events)
Desert excursions
Desert excursions can be hazardous. Off-road driving should only be undertaken in a convoy of four-wheel drive vehicles with an experienced guide.
If engaging in desert expeditions or trekking:
- never do so alone
- always hire an experienced guide from a reputable company
- travel in a 4 x 4 vehicle
- buy travel insurance that includes helicopter rescue and medical evacuation
- ensure that your physical condition is good enough to meet the challenges of your activity
- avoid venturing off marked trails
- ensure that you're properly equipped and well informed about weather and other conditions that may pose a hazard
- carry sufficient water supply and pay attention to the symptoms of dehydration and heatstroke, both of which can be fatal
- inform a family member or friend of your itinerary, including when you expect to be back
- obtain detailed information on each activity before setting out
Road safety
Road conditions.
Road conditions can vary greatly throughout the country. While the roads in Doha are generally in good condition, they are often over-crowded and commonly under construction. Outside of Doha, poorly lit roads and wandering livestock may pose a risk. Roads can be muddy during the winter rain season.
Driving safety
Traffic drives on the right.
Accidents causing fatalities are common and one of Qatar's leading causes of death. Drivers don't generally drive safely. They often drive at excessive speeds, are extremely aggressive and reckless. They don't respect traffic laws.
In case of an accident:
- move the vehicle to the nearest parking area if you can so do safely; you can be fined for blocking traffic
- call 999 and wait for the police to arrive
Leaving the scene is considered a criminal offence.
Public transportation
A public bus system is available, though, it runs limited routes.
Officially marked taxis are metered.
- Use officially marked taxis only
- Negotiate fares in advance, or insist that the driver use the meter
- Avoid taking shared taxis
- Never enter a cab if it already has one or more passengers
Private car services
Ridesharing application and limousine services are available and a popular method of transportation.
- Be vigilant when travelling in a private car
- Take note of the driver and vehicles' information
Marine transportation
Iran and the United Arab Emirates both claim sovereignty over the islands of:
Some vessels entering these areas have been reported detained.
Exercise caution if travelling by sea in the Gulf. Pirate attacks and armed robbery against ships have also occurred in coastal waters. Mariners should take appropriate precautions.

Information about foreign domestic airlines
Every country or territory decides who can enter or exit through its borders. The Government of Canada cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet your destination’s entry or exit requirements.
We have obtained the information on this page from the Qatari authorities. It can, however, change at any time.
Verify this information with the Foreign Representatives in Canada .
Entry requirements vary depending on the type of passport you use for travel.
Before you travel, check with your transportation company about passport requirements. Its rules on passport validity may be more stringent than the country’s entry rules.
Regular Canadian passport
Your passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond the date you expect to leave Qatar.

Passport for official travel
Different entry rules may apply.
Official travel
Passport with “X” gender identifier
While the Government of Canada issues passports with an “X” gender identifier, it cannot guarantee your entry or transit through other countries. You might face entry restrictions in countries that do not recognize the “X” gender identifier. Before you leave, check with the closest foreign representative for your destination.
Other travel documents
Different entry rules may apply when travelling with a temporary passport or an emergency travel document. Before you leave, check with the closest foreign representative for your destination.

Residence and work permits
You must have both a residence and work permit to work in Qatar. To receive these permits, you must be sponsored by an employer.
While most employees are free to leave and enter Qatar, the employer controls the issuance of exit permits for essential employees. The employer may designate up to 5% of its employees as “essential.” If you are identified as an “essential employee”, you must obtain your employer's permission to exit Qatar, even for personal or emergency travel.
In the event of a contract or employment dispute, Qatari authorities refer to the Arabic language of a contract.
Entry bans
You could be denied entry into Qatar if your passport bore an Israeli visa, an Israeli border stamp or an Egyptian or Jordanian border stamp issued by an office bordering Israel.
Local authorities may prevent you from leaving Qatar if you have incurred loans and debts with a Qatari institution. You must be free of loans and debts to leave the country.
Similarly, a pending legal proceeding may cause authorities to issue a travel ban that would prevent you from leaving Qatar.
Health insurance
You must obtain a health insurance policy recognised by the Qatari Ministry of Public Health to enter Qatar. You can find the list of recognised insurance providers and purchase the insurance policy online.

Relevant Travel Health Notices
- Global Measles Notice - 13 March, 2024
- COVID-19 and International Travel - 13 March, 2024
This section contains information on possible health risks and restrictions regularly found or ongoing in the destination. Follow this advice to lower your risk of becoming ill while travelling. Not all risks are listed below.
Consult a health care professional or visit a travel health clinic preferably 6 weeks before you travel to get personalized health advice and recommendations.
Routine vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccinations , as per your province or territory , are up-to-date before travelling, regardless of your destination.
Some of these vaccinations include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, varicella (chickenpox), influenza and others.
Pre-travel vaccines and medications
You may be at risk for preventable diseases while travelling in this destination. Talk to a travel health professional about which medications or vaccines may be right for you, based on your destination and itinerary.
There is a risk of hepatitis A in this destination. It is a disease of the liver. People can get hepatitis A if they ingest contaminated food or water, eat foods prepared by an infectious person, or if they have close physical contact (such as oral-anal sex) with an infectious person, although casual contact among people does not spread the virus.
Practise safe food and water precautions and wash your hands often. Vaccination is recommended for all travellers to areas where hepatitis A is present.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease. It can spread quickly from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.
Anyone who is not protected against measles is at risk of being infected with it when travelling internationally.
Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care professional before travelling to make sure you are fully protected against measles.
Hepatitis B is a risk in every destination. It is a viral liver disease that is easily transmitted from one person to another through exposure to blood and body fluids containing the hepatitis B virus. Travellers who may be exposed to blood or other bodily fluids (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) are at higher risk of getting hepatitis B.
Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for all travellers. Prevent hepatitis B infection by practicing safe sex, only using new and sterile drug equipment, and only getting tattoos and piercings in settings that follow public health regulations and standards.
The best way to protect yourself from seasonal influenza (flu) is to get vaccinated every year. Get the flu shot at least 2 weeks before travelling.
The flu occurs worldwide.
- In the Northern Hemisphere, the flu season usually runs from November to April.
- In the Southern Hemisphere, the flu season usually runs between April and October.
- In the tropics, there is flu activity year round.
The flu vaccine available in one hemisphere may only offer partial protection against the flu in the other hemisphere.
The flu virus spreads from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Clean your hands often and wear a mask if you have a fever or respiratory symptoms.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious viral disease. It can spread from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.
It is recommended that all eligible travellers complete a COVID-19 vaccine series along with any additional recommended doses in Canada before travelling. Evidence shows that vaccines are very effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. While vaccination provides better protection against serious illness, you may still be at risk of infection from the virus that causes COVID-19. Anyone who has not completed a vaccine series is at increased risk of being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 and is at greater risk for severe disease when travelling internationally.
Before travelling, verify your destination’s COVID-19 vaccination entry/exit requirements. Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care professional before travelling to make sure you are adequately protected against COVID-19.
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
- There is no risk of yellow fever in this country.
Country Entry Requirement*
- Proof of vaccination is required if you are coming from a country where yellow fever occurs.
Recommendation
- Vaccination is not recommended.
- Discuss travel plans, activities, and destinations with a health care professional.
- Contact a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre well in advance of your trip to arrange for vaccination.
About Yellow Fever
Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre
* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements.
In this destination, rabies is carried by dogs and some wildlife, including bats. Rabies is a deadly disease that spreads to humans primarily through bites or scratches from an infected animal. While travelling, take precautions , including keeping your distance from animals (including free-roaming dogs), and closely supervising children.
If you are bitten or scratched by an animal while travelling, immediately wash the wound with soap and clean water and see a health care professional. Rabies treatment is often available in this destination.
Before travel, discuss rabies vaccination with a health care professional. It may be recommended for travellers who are at high risk of exposure (e.g., occupational risk such as veterinarians and wildlife workers, children, adventure travellers and spelunkers, and others in close contact with animals).
Safe food and water precautions
Many illnesses can be caused by eating food or drinking beverages contaminated by bacteria, parasites, toxins, or viruses, or by swimming or bathing in contaminated water.
- Learn more about food and water precautions to take to avoid getting sick by visiting our eat and drink safely abroad page. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
- Avoid getting water into your eyes, mouth or nose when swimming or participating in activities in freshwater (streams, canals, lakes), particularly after flooding or heavy rain. Water may look clean but could still be polluted or contaminated.
- Avoid inhaling or swallowing water while bathing, showering, or swimming in pools or hot tubs.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among children, travellers going to rural areas, travellers visiting friends and relatives or those travelling for a long period of time.
Travellers visiting regions with a risk of typhoid, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation, should speak to a health care professional about vaccination.
Insect bite prevention
Many diseases are spread by the bites of infected insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas or flies. When travelling to areas where infected insects may be present:
- Use insect repellent (bug spray) on exposed skin
- Cover up with light-coloured, loose clothes made of tightly woven materials such as nylon or polyester
- Minimize exposure to insects
- Use mosquito netting when sleeping outdoors or in buildings that are not fully enclosed
To learn more about how you can reduce your risk of infection and disease caused by bites, both at home and abroad, visit our insect bite prevention page.
Find out what types of insects are present where you’re travelling, when they’re most active, and the symptoms of the diseases they spread.
There is a risk of chikungunya in this country. The risk may vary between regions of a country. Chikungunya is a virus spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. Chikungunya can cause a viral disease that typically causes fever and pain in the joints. In some cases, the joint pain can be severe and last for months or years.
Protect yourself from mosquito bites at all times. There is no vaccine available for chikungunya.
Animal precautions
Some infections, such as rabies and influenza, can be shared between humans and animals. Certain types of activities may increase your chance of contact with animals, such as travelling in rural or forested areas, camping, hiking, and visiting wet markets (places where live animals are slaughtered and sold) or caves.
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, livestock (pigs, cows), monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats, and to avoid eating undercooked wild game.
Closely supervise children, as they are more likely to come in contact with animals.
Cases of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) have been reported in this destination. The risk to travellers is low; MERS is primarily spread through contact with camels or camel-based products (raw milk, meat, urine). It can also spread through close contact, such as when caring for an infected person.
Avoid contact with animals (especially camels), camel-based products, and wash your hands frequently.
Prevention of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)
MERS symptoms range from mild and flu-like to more severe pneumonia-like symptoms, and can result in death.
There is no vaccine or medication that protects against MERS.
Person-to-person infections
Stay home if you’re sick and practise proper cough and sneeze etiquette , which includes coughing or sneezing into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your hand. Reduce your risk of colds, the flu and other illnesses by:
- washing your hands often
- avoiding or limiting the amount of time spent in closed spaces, crowded places, or at large-scale events (concerts, sporting events, rallies)
- avoiding close physical contact with people who may be showing symptoms of illness
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) , HIV , and mpox are spread through blood and bodily fluids; use condoms, practise safe sex, and limit your number of sexual partners. Check with your local public health authority pre-travel to determine your eligibility for mpox vaccine.
Medical services and facilities
Health care is very good in Qatar.
The country has a strong public healthcare system. Private institutions are also accessible and provide good healthcare.
Make sure you get travel insurance that includes coverage for medical evacuation and hospital stays.
Travel health and safety
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit , especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
Qatari and Canadian criminal law systems are significantly different. Laws, penalties and legal procedures may vary.
You must abide by local laws.
Learn about what you should do and how we can help if you are arrested or detained abroad .
Legal process
Suspects and witnesses to incidents may be detained with limited or no access to legal counsel or consular officials for 3-5 days.
Qatari officials may issue a travel ban pending the resolution of the case. These processes can last up to several years.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are severe. Convicted offenders can expect heavy fines and lengthy jail sentences.
The consumption of alcohol in public is illegal. Avoid drinking alcohol outside licensed premises.
Drugs, alcohol and travel
2SLGBTQI+ travellers
Qatari law criminalizes sexual acts and relationships between persons of the same sex.
2SLGBTQI+ travellers could also be discriminated against or detained based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or sex characteristics.
Those convicted can face up to ten years in prison.
2SLGBTQI+ travellers should carefully consider the risks of travelling to Qatar.

Common law partnership is illegal in Qatar. Men and women are not permitted to share a home unless they are legally married or are related to one another.
If you marry a Qatari citizen, the Qatari government may inform you that you have lost your Canadian citizenship. Foreign governments don't have the authority to strip you of your Canadian citizenship. If this occurs, contact the nearest Canadian government office as soon as possible.
Sexual relations outside of marriage are a criminal offence.
Marriage outside Canada
Qatar family law is different from Canadian family law. Decisions are based on Islamic law.
Children of a Qatari father automatically acquire Qatari citizenship at birth. They must enter and leave the country on a Qatari passport.
If you are involved in a custody dispute in Qatar, consult a Qatari lawyer for advice and assistance regarding your own specific situation.
International Child Abduction
The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty. It can help parents with the return of children who have been removed to or retained in certain countries in violation of custody rights. It does not apply between Canada and Qatar.
If your child was wrongfully taken to, or is being held in Qatar by an abducting parent:
- act as quickly as you can
- consult a lawyer in Canada and in Qatar to explore all the legal options for the return of your child
- report the situation to the nearest Canadian government office abroad or to the Vulnerable Children's Consular Unit at Global Affairs Canada by calling the Emergency Watch and Response Centre
If your child was removed from a country other than Canada, consult a lawyer to determine if The Hague Convention applies.
Be aware that Canadian consular officials cannot interfere in private legal matters or in another country's judicial affairs.

How to Apply for Canada Visa Immigration via the Express Entry Pool?
Express Entry is a complete online system that administers applications for Federal Immigration Programs and compliance with immigration regulations.
To immigrate to Canada via Express Entry from Qatar, follow these procedures from the Canadian Immigration Department:
Step 1: Confirm Your Eligibility for the Program
To determine whether you are qualified to apply for the Canadian immigration procedure, you must first decide whether or not you are eligible for one of the following immigration programs:
Some Provincial Nominee Programs may be included in the Entry System (PNP). However, different programs have different qualifying restrictions, making it difficult to compare them.
Step 2: Create a profile for yourself.
Create an Express Entry profile; when you submit your profile to the Express Entry pool, it counts as an Expression of Interest (EOI) in immigrating to Canada and thus counts as a step toward becoming a permanent resident of Canada.
Step 3: Calculate your Comprehensive Standing Method (CRS) score.
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a point-based system that determines your ranking in the Express Entry program (CRS). It assigns points to each candidate out of a possible total of 1,200 points depending on the qualifying requirements that they meet.
Step 4: Draw an Express Entry Form
The authorities regularly hold an Express Entry lottery, and the results are published on their website. The CRS score is used to determine the cut-off position in the Express Entry draw, and all applicants who score higher than a particular rank are chosen to participate.
Step 5: You will be sent an invitation to apply (ITA)
If you have the qualifying CRS score and are chosen in the draw, you will be sent an Invitation to Apply for the position (ITA).
Step 6: Submit the final public relations application
An applicant who receives an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in Canada has 60 days to submit their entire application for permanent residence in Canada.
If the immigration authorities approve your application for a Canada visa, you will be issued a permit to enter the country.

4. Experimentation in the workplace
An applicant seeking permanent residence status must have a minimum of one year of full-time work experience to be considered for the position.

Canada to Qatar: Visa requirements and how to get there
Canadian citizens do not need a tourist visa to travel to Qatar. As a Canadian you can stay for up to 30 days visa-free in Qatar.
![tourist visa canada from qatar Fill me in](https://s3.ivisa.com/website-assets/blog/-dohacityqatar.webp)
Qatar visa requirements for Canadian Citizens
Ready to enter Qatar? Canadian Nationals can get a visa on arrival when entering Qatar , which allows for a stay of up to 30 days in Qatar.
If you need to travel to Qatar for a longer period, or for any reason other than tourism, we suggest you contact the Government of Canada for Qatar travel advice.
You can also check out our Qatar Travel page for visa and entry requirements information.
How to travel to Qatar from Canada
Whether you're considering non-stop flights or those with layovers in the Middle East, there's a wide selection available. Leading carriers such as Qatar Airways, Air Canada, and British Airways operate flights to Doha, the capital city. Remarkably, Doha's airport was ranked as the 50th busiest globally in 2016. For the best fares, it's advisable to book Qatar Airways flights well in advance.
Starting prices for basic economy tickets from Montreal Airport to Doha Airport begin at approximately 660 Canadian dollars. Expect to pay more if you're flying first or business class, or if you need additional baggage.
With an average flight duration of 12 to 13 hours, most airlines provide online check-in and a variety of entertainment options to make the journey more enjoyable. Although round-trip tickets may be pricier, they eliminate the need to book a separate return flight from Qatar to Canada, offering convenience and peace of mind.
Tips to remember when traveling to Qatar
Bear in mind that it's a lengthy journey, particularly if you choose flights with layovers. Selecting tickets with extended stopovers, which are often more affordable, might warrant joining a privilege club or exploring the unique benefits offered by specific airlines.
A valuable strategy is to compare different flights and their offerings. Take into account factors such as seat size (with some airlines offering wider seats for added comfort), flight departure times, the departure airport, baggage allowances, and policies on excess luggage before finalizing your flight bookings. This ensures you receive the best value and comfort for your investment.
It's wise to travel light and plan to shop in Qatar. Similar to Dubai, shopping is a significant attraction in Qatar, and you'll want to avoid excess baggage fees on your return. Beyond shopping, make plans and allocate a budget to visit the country's most famed attractions.

2. How Long Does It Take To Move to Canada from Qatar?
Let’s take a look at some sample flight times and costs to give you an idea of move time to Canada’s main airport, Toronto Pearson International, as well as Vancouver and Montreal, from Doha.
- Doha to Toronto Pearson International – 23 hours, 55 minutes – 3,797 QAR
- Doha to Vancouver – 21 hours, 11 minutes – 4,713 QAR
- Doha to Montreal – 18 hours, 45 minutes – 3,404 QAR
This duration covers the flight time only, so additional time will need to be added to get you from the terminal to your final location.
3. Moving Restrictions to Canada from Qatar
Moving from one country to take up residency in another will incur various restrictions – most notably, this comes in the form of visa requirements, which we will cover in the next section. One common route is via Express Entry – this is an application process for ‘skilled immigrants’ who want to settle in Canada permanently.
There are strict customs rules, and you must declare any goods that may be deemed as prohibited or subject to tax or duty. For more information on this, and on any banned substances, take a look at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website .
You’ll need to show proof of address when you arrive, and also prove that you have enough money to sustain yourself for the duration of your visit, however long or short that may be. You must be clued up on up-to-date information regarding emergencies, local laws and customs to ensure you have a smooth transition from country to country.
At the time of writing, there are no COVID-19 travel restrictions, although these can change at short notice so it’s best to check your exact time of travel.
4. Visa Requirements to Canada from Qatar
To enter Canada from Qatar you will need a valid passport at the time of entry, with at least one blank page, as well as a valid visa that is suitable for your visiting purpose.
Most visitors will need a visitor visa (or temporary resident visa), which can allow you entry into Canada to visit friends, and family, or for tourism or business purposes.
To get this, you will need to supply:
- Proof of your valid passport
- Proof of funds sufficient for the length of your stay
- Itinerary for your duration
- Letter of invitation (if travelling for work purposes)
- Biometric appointments may also be necessary
If you already have a Canadian visa or are a permanent resident, will just need to apply for eTA (electronic travel authorisation). This is only valid for a short period of up to five years and is suitable for those travelling to Canada by air.
Study permits are available for those wishing to further their education in Canada for six months or longer. This application will be completed through the Visa Application Centre (VAC), and will require:
- An acceptance letter from a Canadian education institution
- Proof of financial support or stability for the duration of the education period
For individuals wishing to conduct business in Canada, a work permit will be required. This will need:
- A job offer from a Canadian employer
- Information on the work and job
- Duration of contract/stay
- Canadian employers may need to have a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) produced
If you are unsure about the type of visa or permit you might need, Canada.ca has a handy tool to help you understand what type of documentation you need – take a look at the questionnaire here .
In all cases, you need to speak to a visa specialist to advise you on your circumstances and always keep up to date with the latest changes in the rules. Take a look at Canada.ca for the most useful information.
5. Cost of Living Differences in Canada
![tourist visa canada from qatar](https://moverdb.com/wp-content/uploads/moving-to-canada-from-qatar-2.jpg)
As a general note, it is estimated that the cost of living in Toronto is 29.8% higher than that of Doha, with rent being around 21.7% higher, while groceries are 60.9% higher than in Doha.

- Price per square metre (10.7 square feet) to buy in City Centre: C$9,200+
- Price per square metre (10.7 square feet) to buy outside the City: C$6,600+

6. Tax Treaties in Canada
One of the biggest differences between Canada and Qatar is the taxation status. In Qatar, there is no personal income tax, whereas Canada has a progressive tax system which increases as your income does.
At the time of writing, the current tax rates in Canada are:
- 15% on the first $50,197 CAD
- 20.5% on taxable income between $50,197 CAD to $100,392 CAD
- 26% on taxable income between $100,392 CAD to $155,625 CAD
- 29% on taxable income between $155,625 CAD to $221,708 CAD
- 33% on taxable income over $221,708 CAD
Tax rates vary depending on the exact territory you occupy, with each province having different tax brackets. Taxes need to be filed to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) by April 30th, or June 15th if self-employed, and Canadian employers will withhold taxes from pay cheques to pay the CRA directly.
For the most up-to-date information, it’s best to consult a tax authority in Canada to get clued up on everything you need to know if you’re planning on living and working in Canada, and what that means for you concerning taxation.
7. Working Rules in Canada
You will likely need a work permit to work in Canada. These can range from:
- An employer-specific work permit
- An open work permit
The former covers a specific employer you can work for, how long you can work for, and where this work is carried out. The latter allows you to work for any employer in Canada, give or take a few restrictions, such as non-compliant employers – these are outlined on the Canada.ca website .
Canada.ca also has a handy tool to help you understand what type of work permit you may need for any work you carry out in Canada, which can be accessed here .
The average work week in Canada is around 40 hours spread across five days, typically Monday to Friday. Public holiday entitlements vary depending on the jurisdiction you are working in, with each province having slightly different regulations.
Whatever your employment circumstances, it’s important to have your visa ironed out before entering the country to ensure a smooth transition. It’s also important to get up to speed with taxes and any beneficial programs, such as healthcare schemes so that you are completely clued up on your rights.
8. Healthcare in Canada
Canada has a publicly funded healthcare system , named Medicare. This means that Canadian residents can access medical aid when deemed ‘medically necessary’ for both hospital and physician services. The federal government of Canada is responsible for ensuring that national standards for healthcare are continually met, as well as providing funding support for both provincial and territorial healthcare services.
For any health care insurance plans taken out, they must comply with the standards as outlined in the Canada Health Act . This covers topics from accessibility to portability of cover and the level of comprehensiveness involved in the plan.
Before you travel to Canada, you must look into their healthcare system to be fully informed in the event of an accident or medical emergency.
9. Rules Around Moving With Pets in Canada
Moving house includes lots of boxes of belongings – but it can also include some particularly important furry friends, too! If you need to move to Canada with a pet in tow, here’s what you need to know.
To move your pet from Qatar to Canada, you will likely need to ensure that your pet is:
- Microchipped
- Vaccinated against rabies, at least 21 days before the date of entry, and tapeworm for dogs (a rabies antibody titration test (RATT) may be required to show this has been administered successfully)
- Issued with a ‘health certificate’ from a veterinarian to state that the pet is fit to travel
You may also need an import permit, but the need for this varies on your exact animal type. More information can be found at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Additionally, there may be extra restrictions for specific states or provinces, so it’s best to check on a local level if your pet is permitted entry before attempting to travel with them.
10. Similar Cities
![tourist visa canada from qatar](https://moverdb.com/wp-content/uploads/moving-to-canada-from-qatar-3.jpg)
Both cities are a blend of cultures, with Toronto being one of the most multicultural cities in the world. Doha has a strong Qatari culture, with both Arabic and English being widely spoken. The climate of both areas is to be considered, as Toronto has a continental climate with cool winters and warm summers, while Doha has a desert climate which sees summer temperatures breach 100 °F.
Qatar’s economy is mostly driven by oil and gas exports and is known as a major business hub – similar to Toronto, being known as a global financial centre, although the key sectors here are more in the way of finance and technology.
Comparing the cost of living , prices are typically higher in Canada than in Qatar, with rent, groceries and other consumer prices being between 20% to 60% higher in Toronto than in Doha.
11. Pros and Cons of Moving to Canada from Qatar
Perhaps you’re moving for a new job opportunity, or just want to try out a completely different country and climate – whatever your reason for wanting to move from Qatar to Canada, let’s take a look at some of the main pros and cons associated with moving.
Whatever you decide, you must understand the legal factors affecting your move – be sure to visit the Canadian Government website for all the information you need.
