Why Canada is the land of Dreams
It is a vast country with cold winters, spectacular autumn displays, a colourful rich and diverse population and is easily seen as one of the most successful and peaceful countries in the world. These are some of the reasons so many people dream of a life in Canada.
Stability with Permanent Residency
Canada is one of very few countries who actually offer migrants the option to apply for permanent residency from the get go – most other countries offer visas which will expire in a few years. With permanent residency you know that you can live in Canada for as long as you like and build a life there secure in the knowledge that there is no expiry date looming.
The more the merrier
Canada has one of the world’s most progressive and sophisticated immigration systems. The country has room for a lot of people and to make sure that Canada remains a world economic super power it has to keep up with local and international trade, production and technological demands. For this reason the country opens its doors to more than 300,000 new permanent residents every year. Seeing migrants as an asset the government invests millions of dollars every year to help these newcomers settle into their new lives in Canada.
Serious about quality education
Canada spends more on education than any industrialized nation! An HSBC global study of 6,241 parents across 15 countries and territories, parents around the world say that when it comes to quality of education, quality of life and job prospects for international post-secondary students, Canada is a top-three destination. One in three Canadians hold a university degree!
Great place to raise a family
Canada placed fifth in The Best Countries to Raise Kids Survey – only beaten by the Nordic countries. Countries that made the grade scored highest in a compilation of eight country attributes: cares about human rights, family friendly, gender equality, happy, income equality, safe, well-developed public education system and well-developed health care system.
Universal Health Care
If the UN commends your health care system you know it’s excellent! Just earlier this month the United Nation’s special rapporteur on the right to health, Dainius Puras, said Canada’s health care system is “commendable”.
Canada’s universal, publicly funded health-care system—known as Medicare—is a source of national pride. According to the World Health Organization’s rankings Canada is ranked 30th in the world 7 positions ahead of the USA, 11 spots ahead of New Zealand and ranks 145 positions better than South Africa’s system at number 175 out of 190 countries.
