In the past, the United States was considered a top destination for immigrants looking for a better life. Since 2007, the US economy has been greatly unstable, meaning immigrants, including Americans, are looking for a land with better opportunities. Canada is quickly growing in popularity and for good reasons.

The International Monetary Fund has estimated that, by 2015, Canada will have a more balanced budget than other leading countries, such as the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom. A balanced budget would mean a stronger economy which would attract more foreign investors. Canada has already lowered corporate tax rates to 16.5%, to attract more businesses that wish to establish themselves in a new country.

Whereas housing markets in the Unites States have risen considerably, Canadian housing prices have remained stable allowing more people to purchase a home. A report by Scotia Economics found that Canada’s housing market is among the best in the world.

Canada’s employment rates have continued to rise as more jobs were added to the market last year. In particular, the health care sector and the accommodation and food service industry had the highest rates of growth. The Government of Canada is looking to fill those positions with nurses, physicians, dentists, and restaurant and food service managers, all of who are currently in demand under the Federal Skilled Worker Program.

Canada also boasts some of the best education in the world. Many immigrants say that they move to another country in hopes of giving their children a better future. Thanks to Canada’s affordable education, their hopes become a reality.

Canada has also made it easier for people to immigrate to the country. With numerous provincial and federal immigration programs available, people now have more opportunities than ever to immigrate to Canada.
