Canada is a top destination for people worldwide looking for a new place to work, study and settle down with their families.
Why immigrate to Canada?
Since 1988, Canada has welcomed over 200,000 immigrants yearly, but it has decided to increase its levels to well over 400,000 per year. The reason, the government of Canada states, is that immigration increases population, the labor force, and economic growth.
Canada receives three times more immigrants (in terms of legal immigration) than the United States of America.
