Canada consistently ranks among the most popular destinations to migrate to. It is known for its beautiful landscapes, a rock-solid healthcare system and an education system so strong that World Population Review ranks Canada #3. Canada is renowned for its ‘mosaic culture’ wherein they let every culture live in harmony with each other. Canada has a long history of immigration that dates back many decades. In fact, the Canadian national identity is built on a foundation of multiculturalism and is intertwined with immigration. In fact, in the coming years, the number of newcomers to Canada is expected to rise each year. By 2025, nearly 500,000 people are expected to be welcomed to the country, the most ever welcomed in a single year. Now let’s take a look at what makes Canada among the world’s top choices.

1. A Thriving Economy
Canada is known as one of the most economically stable countries in the world. While most countries are still reeling from Covid, Canada’s economy has grown bigger than before the pandemic, growing at a pace of 6.7%. With higher-than-ever immigration targets and a strong economy, prospective newcomers are positioned for success in Canada. 

2. A Burgeoning Job Market
According to Statistics Canada, the employment rate for recent immigrants has increased by 8 percentage points since the early 2010s, while the earnings among recent economic immigrants rose by 39% percent. And most importantly, the Canadian Government values immigration for its ability to boost the economy and create jobs for Canadians. 

3. World-Class Education Infrastructure
Canada is an excellent choice for international students to come to study. Canadian schools offer a high quality of teaching and are often times more affordable than other popular study destinations, such as the US. Studying in Canada can also help international students apply for Canadian permanent residence.

4. Universal Healthcare
Like education, access to medical services is considered a fundamental right for Canadians. The National Health Insurance system guarantees that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident will be denied medical care due to costs. Most Canadians do not have to pay for most medical and emergency services through the Canadian healthcare system. 

5. Multiculturalism & Pro-Immigration Stance
Canada officially adopted a policy to promote multiculturalism. Canada is home to people from more than 200 countries, and a vast range of races, religions, and cultures. A past study conducted by Statistics Canada has found that a majority of immigrants feel a sense of belonging in Canada.

6. Safety
Canada has a much lower crime rate than most other countries in the world. Canada consistently does well in global surveys on safety, progress and quality of life, and is regularly ranked in the top 10 safest countries in the world.

7. Stable Political System
Canada has a very stable political system and greatly values democracy. In 2020, it ranked number five on the Economist Intelligence Unit’s world democracy index, ahead of all North American nations.
