I just graduated college and am considering moving to Canada to work. What processes will I have to go through? Where do I begin? If I enjoy living and working in Canada, is it possible to become a full fledged citizen? Any knowledge is gladly accepted.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.asp This is the link to Citizenship and Immigration Canada with the information for applying for a temoporary work visa. If you have a job while you are in Canada you can apply for permanent residence while you are here (usually you have to apply for PR status outside of the country). Once you get status as a landed immigrant you can apply for citizenship after 3 years.

You will have to find a company in Canada that is willing to sponsor you for employment. They will only hire you if there is no lawful Canadian resident or citizen that is able to fill the position. I suggest you visit this website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp to learn more in obtaining a work visa. You also cannot become a citizen until you have obtained lawful residency for at least 3 years. Good Luck!!

you will need a minimum of 12 months full time work experience before you can apply. You must meet the following minimum requirements to apply as a skilled worker: You have at least one continuous year of full-time, paid work experience or the equivalent in part-time continuous employment. Your work experience must be Skill Type 0 (managerial occupations) or Skill Level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades) on the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC). You must have had this experience within the last 10 years.
