I live outside of Canada and I’m considering moving to Edmonton. What are the immigration requirements? Do I need a work visa?

Whether you are moving to Edmonton temporarily or permanently, you should evaluate all options and choose one which works best for you and your family. You can find out about immigration requirements and get more information about work visas at Alberta Immigration and Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
