Canada has consistently been ranked as one of the best countries in the world to live in, making it one of the world’s top destinations for people looking to migrate. The second-largest country in the world, Canada welcomes over 200,000 immigrants to its shores annually, and nearly 20% of the country’s population consists of immigrants. With an official policy of multiculturalism, Canada respects and celebrates the diversity of cultures created by people from around the globe.

The Canadian economy has seen rapid growth over the past decade, supported by Canadian immigration, low unemployment and significant annual trade surpluses with the United States. Canada boasts of a high standard of living, excellent public infrastructure, a highly educated and skilled labor force, and excellent educational and medical systems – with free healthcare and primary and secondary education. The country is renowned for its tolerance, respect of human rights, and social justice and has a strong record of standing against discrimination and injustice. Home to immigrants from all over the world, Canada values the talent and enthusiasm that newcomers bring to the country.
