Why Immigration to Canada?

Canada is a fantastic country and has welcomed 100s of thousands of new immigrants and expatriates over the past decades. In fact, recently, there have been over a million new additions if we include students. Here are a few reasons why people are moving to the majestic northern country:

• Strong Economy and Career Opportunities: Canada boasts a strong and stable economy with diverse sectors such as technology, healthcare, and finance, but especially natural resources such as mining, oil and gas and forestry. The job market in Canada has been pretty strong and is known for its low unemployment rates and competitive wages. Unlike the USA, Canada actively seeks skilled immigrants through various immigration programs. If you are a skilled worker or professional, such as a tradesperson or medical doctor, getting permanent residence in Canada is pretty easy.
• Cultural Diversity and Inclusivity: Canada has been well know for being a multicultural and inclusive society. There is not a lot of racial or cultural conflict in Canada, with few exceptions, as Canada celebrates diversity and promotes social cohesion. Immigrants are welcomed and valued for their contributions, but high immigration levels have been straining medical systems and the housing market. \
• Quality of Life: This northern nation consistently ranks among the top countries in the world for quality of life. With its universal healthcare system, excellent education system, safe cities, and diverse cultural offerings, Canada provides a high standard of living for its residents. From stunning natural landscapes to vibrant urban centers such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, Canada offers a balanced lifestyle that promotes well-being and happiness. If you love skiing, you can enjoy Banff or especially Whistler!
• Great Education System: Canada is well known for their schools abroad that boast an excellent education system, so many immigrants send their kids to school in Canada, especially the many Universities such as Queens!

Bring International Health Insurance With You

If you plan to live and work in Canada for some time, it is strongly suggested that you should obtain quality expat health insurance. It can be very expensive for emergency treatment and medications in Canadian hospitals. It is critical that you purchase an international health insurance plan that will not only cover you in Canada but globally as well – including back home. Once you are eligible for local healthcare under Canada’s comprehensive universal healthcare system, you may choose to cancel your global healthcare. Healthcare in Canada is organized and run by the provincial governments. Once covered by a provincial health plan, you can purchase an individual extended health plan via TFG Global.
