Canada immigration has long been the number one choice for migrants who want to start a new life in a welcoming and beautiful country. Here are eight of the top reasons why working in Canada has remained so popular among migrants.

1. Employed, self employed and business people have the choice of a wide range of Canada visa options when looking to move.

2. Canada was one of the first countries to have a points-based system for immigration, leading to a vast and diverse community of immigrants as families moved to Canada to rejoin their loved ones.

3. The Canadian immigration points-based system is seen as less stringent than those of other countries popular with migrants, such as Australia and the UK.

4. Canada’s proximity to the US and Mexico offers great personal growth and trade opportunities to people looking jobs in Canada, particularly those who wish to start their own businesses.

5. Immigrants and their families receive supportive social security benefits including high standards of education and healthcare.

6. The Canada Charter of Rights and Freedoms allows free movement within the country and also enables free practicing of religion, language and culture.

7. Many high-net-worth individuals and business people move to Canada in order to gain a passport that allows them visa-free travel around most of the countries of the world.

8. Lastly, but maybe most importantly, Canada offers a wealth of natural resources including forests, oil and minerals, which provides economic sustainability and security for generations of Canadians to come.
