The Government of Canada has a very positive and open policy towards immigration, which calls for the admission of more than 200,000 immigrants every year. Canada boasts a very high standard of living and a great lifestyle. In fact, the UN says that Canada is one of the best places in the world to live and work.

Canada’s economy is strong and this means that there are plenty of job opportunities available, especially in the IT sector for software professionals and for skilled workers. You can also apply for Canadian Citizenship within three years of arriving in Canada as a Permanent Resident, a period much less than many other countries.

Choosing to migrate to Canada to live and work as a Permanent Resident means that you will be able to do so with your whole family, something that is difficult to achieve in most other places. Canada also has many welfare programs such as free medicine, education, old age insurance, unemployment insurance and if necessary, government welfare benefits.

As a Permanent resident of Canada you will also have access to markets in the United States and Mexico based on the NAFTA agreement.

Canada’s population has a very large number of immigrants and a vibrant Sri Lankan community as well. This will make the transition easy and you will never have to worry about being discriminated against by virtue of being a foreigner.
