About Canadian Immigration

Canada has long been a choice destination for immigrants looking to forge a better life for themselves. The first major influx of immigrants occurred in the 1500s and 1600s when European settlers, primarily from England and France, established colonies. Today, Canada welcomes over 250,000 new permanent residents per year. By country of origin, the highest numbers of new immigrants come from China, India, Pakistan, U.S.A., United Kingdom, Iran, South Korea, Colombia and Sri Lanka.

Since Canada is a relatively young country, the majority of Canadian citizens and permanent residents identify with a culture or ethnicity other than strictly “Canadian.” With a name deriving from an aboriginal word for “village,” Canada certainly feels like one big community of immigrants. Canadian culture is often referred to as a mosaic; newcomers to Canada integrate rather than assimilate. Officially bilingual (with French and English as the national languages) and multicultural, Canada is a country that respects and appreciates the cultural diversity that new immigrants bring to the society.

Canada has a lot to offer new residents – in 2009, the United Nations ranked Canada as the 4th most livable country in the world, behind only Norway; Australia and Iceland, according to its Human Development Index. This rating is based on Canada’s excellent quality of life, and takes into consideration life expectancy rates, education levels and personal income. This means Canadians enjoy a comfortable standard of living, good health care, social security, a high level of education, and a safe and clean environment. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms entrenched in the Canadian constitution guarantees such fundamental rights as equality, mobility and legal rights, as well as freedom of speech, assembly and association.

Business Immigration

Canada’s Business Immigration Program seeks to promote economic development and employment by attracting people with venture capital, business acumen and entrepreneurial skills. The government of Canada believes that the selection and admission of new business immigrants benefit both the economy and society.

Canada welcomes successful business people, who have the ability and resources to invest in or establish businesses in Canada, seeking new opportunities and challenges. The Business Immigration Program is designed to encourage and facilitate the admission of these individuals. In addition to providing excellent business opportunities, both the federal and provincial/territorial governments welcome business immigrants and offer services to help immigrants start a business and settle in Canada.

According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Business immigrants in the year 2001 represented approximately 1% of the total immigration arrivals into Canada.
