Being the second largest country in the world, Canada is full of life with its beautiful landscapes and vibrant cities.
One cannot help but marvel at the sight of one of the great wonders of the world, the Niagara Falls. Thousands of tourists visit the falls every year to enjoy the spectacular view.
Foreigners will also feel welcome with Canada’s diverse and friendly people, usually huddled together in its cosmopolitan and international cities.
Indeed, Canada is probably the most immigrant-friendly destination at present. The Canadian government has declared their intention to welcome more than 300,000 new immigrants in their country for the year 2017.
This is a step towards progress for both parties – Canada’s economy will be boosted through a more robust labour force and foreigners will have the opportunity to experience a more comfortable life that Canada has to offer.
There are various programs which an applicant may choose for Canadian immigration, but it’s important to identify the most suitable program based on the candidate’s qualification.

Canada values your education and takes it into consideration for many of its Canadian immigration programs. Certain programs, such as the Skilled Worker and Provincial Nominee programs, assign a point value to your education.

Candidates for Canadian immigration who have at least one year of skilled work experience are deemed more likely to be able to assimilate into the Canadian labour market. This experience will allow you to become a contributing member of Canada’s economy and the local community. There are a number of programs that assign a point value for your work experience, including the Skilled Worker and Provincial Nominee programs. These programs promote work experience as a valuable asset, thereby increasing your chances of successfully immigrating to Canada. We encourage you to start your free assessment to find out how your work experience may enhance your Canadian immigration options.
The Canadian Experience Class and Quebec Experience Class programs offer permanent Canadian immigration options for individuals who have already worked, or are currently working, in Canada. These programs may be available to those who have recently studied or are studying in Canada. Be sure to bring this experience to our attention when you fill our free assessment, so that we can guide you accordingly.
If you have a close relative in Canada, you might be able to obtain Canadian permanent residence under a Family Class program. In addition, having a friend already living in Canada may provide you with an option through a Provincial Nominee Program that awards points for having a close connection to the province.

We will match these relationships against the programs that are currently available and let you know more about your Canadian immigration options.

If you have a high enough net worth and wish to continue your career or invest in Canada, there are a number of Canadian immigration opportunities that might be available to you.

Many provinces offer business or investment streams under a Provincial Nominee Program for this purpose. Moreover, the Business Investor and Entrepreneur Immigration programs operated by the Federal or Quebec governments offer excellent opportunities for obtaining Canadian permanent resident status through investment or entrepreneurship. Start your free assessment and be sure to include your net worth, as well as your business ownership and management experience, so that we can tell you more about what options may be available to you.
