| CANADA
Canada is known for its tolerance, respect of human rights,
and social justice. Internationally, Canada has a strong record
of standing against discrimination and injustice. A respect
for human rights and personal freedom is deeply held, and
both are constitutionally enshrined in Canada's Charter of
Rights and Freedoms.
With a rich history of immigration, Canada is an extremely
plural, multicultural society. Canada always needs the skills,
talents and enthusiasm of newcomers to continue to grow.
Today, Canada is home to immigrants from all over the world,
and it continues to attract people from all over the world
who want to migrate to Canada and live there.
Immigrants are attracted to this beautiful country as it promises
stability, prosperity and peace.
For several years now, Canada has been accepting around quarter
of a million new Permanent Residents each year.
For people with skills, work experience and a good standard
of English or French, qualifying for residence is not a huge
barrier.
Once accepted, you can take pleasure from the fact that you
will be free to live permanently in a country consistently
rated by the UN as the world's best country to live in.
Furthermore, Canada is the world's second biggest country,
rich in natural resources.
Despite the abundance of natural wealth, real estate in Canada
is cheap compared with other developed countries.
Add to this the fact that Canada's 32 million residents enjoy
virtually unlimited recreational opportunites and you might
be forgiven for thinking you have found paradise.
Unfortunately, for many migrants, Canada has been less than
paradise. The Canadian government is aware that many migrants
have struggled economically in Canada and it is now striving
to improve migrant-outcomes. |
