Canada is consistently ranked by the United Nations as one of the top countries in the world in which to live, and as a direct result of this international endorsement, Canada is usually at the top of the list of destinations for people looking to relocate.

Canada has a vibrant and diverse population, with many multicultural cities. This Canadian multiculturalism provides a very unique culture; international food, theatre, music, urban life, perspectives and opinions form the cultural mosaic.

Canada has the eighth largest economy in the world and is known for its culturally reinforced strong work-ethic. It exports large amounts of raw material (lumber, oil, nickel, etc.) and is home to the fourth largest economic centre in North America (Toronto). Part of the reason for the strength of the Canadian economy is that it borders and trades heavily with the United States.

Relocation to Canada can be done via several options. A potential immigrant can apply for Permanent Residency under the Skilled Worker Program, Family Class Sponsorship, the Provincial Nomination Programs, or Business Immigration.

The process of relocation to Canada can be challenging, especially for people coming from countries where work and societal culture are very different. To make sure that your relocation to Canada is successful, do all you can ahead of time. Research the area in which you wish to relocation. Find out about the job market, the school system, what immigrant-serving organizations are available.
