Question by Lal: What should I know about Denmark to Canada emigration procedures?
Specifically, what does the law says about procedures to follow for a Danish citizen moving permanently to Canada?
Where should he start? What papers does he need, from Canada, and Denmark? What can he do to get a Visa quickly, or to pass the citizenship test when he gets to Canada? Would it accelerate the entire procedure by obtaining a marriage license while in Canada?
I have heard of the concept of an international “invitation” that a citizen can send to someone in another country, to fast-track their passage into the inviter’s country. Is this the case for Canada and Denmark?

Here is a Canadian site dealing with immigration to Canada:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.html
The site includes a newcomers introduction to Canada and links to the different classes of immigration. The following link has the various immigration forms:

There are no specific procedures (at least from Canada’s standpoint) for immigrating from specific countries such as Denmark. Being able to speak & write both English and French (this is a huge plus), no criminal record, having job skills that are needed in Canada all count towards how quickly one’s application will be processed.
I’m not aware of any particular individual “invitations” although each province has their own “nomination” programs. Specifically, if the individual has certain skills that are of need in a particular province, you can get nominated from the province. This can tend to speed up the process.
