Settling in Canada

Are you considering settling in Canada? There are many reasons to make a new home in this vast and multicultural country. 

Canada has been recognized by the United Nations as a country with a high quality of life. It is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, and welcomes almost 250,000 newcomers every year.

Two-thirds of Canada’s population growth over the past five years was a result of immigrants. In 2006, one in five Canadians was born outside the country. After English and French, the languages spoken most widely in Canada are Chinese languages, Italian, German, Punjabi and Spanish.
