Who
We Are
Canada welcomes immigrants and remains eager to help skilled foreign workers, refugees, entrepreneurs, and their families, to resettle in Canada. Over 400,000 people are invited to come to Canada each year. Canadians understand that our economy, culture, and society are enriched by the diversity of Canadian residents.
Canada offers over 100 pathways to immigration. These choices can be overwhelming, because qualifications for each are quite specific.

WHY CANADA?
There Are a
Few Reasons
Why Does Canada Need Immigrants?
Canada has an aging population and low birth rate, but with a vibrant economy that needs skilled workers to fill important positions within many different industries. Canada has a high standard of living with quality health care, excellent public schools, and important social services. Yet Canada does not have enough skilled and talented workers to fill all of the potential vacancies in our economy as our workforce retires. Canada welcomes the families of immigrant workers, as well as refugees seeking a safe place to reestablish themselves, raise their families, and find the peace and prosperity that have eluded them in their countries of origin.
Canada is a safe place with low crime rates and low rates of serious crimes. And with its vast size and varied geography, Canada offers an array of economic opportunities to skilled workers and entrepreneurs, their families, and refugees.
Why Do Canadians Support Immigration?
Canadians are a tolerant people with over 80% of the population supporting immigration. Except for the indigenous populations, Canadians are descended from immigrants: English, French, American, African, Caribbean, Asian. There are Canadians descended from the people of every nation across the globe. We recognize and honor our immigrant tradition by investing money and resources in welcoming over 400,000 immigrants annually. As a tolerant society, Canada welcomes members of the LGBTQ+ communities.
Skilled Worker Immigration Pathways
The majority of immigrants to Canada arrive as skilled workers applying for permission to resettle here, along with their close family members, through the Express Entry or Provincial Nominee Programs.
Close family members means:
- your spouse or common-law partner
- dependent children under the age of 22 and not married; or older than 22, if they are still financially dependent or not capable of independence due to a physical or mental condition
- dependent children of your spouse or common-law partner
- dependent children of dependent children
Express Entry
Offers three classes for skilled foreign workers to apply for permanent resident status in Canada: Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trades Program.
Each application is scored based on an applicant’s age, education, language skills, and work experience. Every two weeks the highest scoring applicants are invited to apply for permanent resident status. The program is called Express Entry because the process takes about 6 months to complete, far faster than other immigration pathways. Approximately 110,000 immigrants come to Canada each year through Express Entry.
Provincial Nominee Program
Most Canadian provinces and territories have programs that invite skilled workers to come to their region to resettle. You can submit an Expression of Interest to different provinces and if there is a match between your skills and labour needs in that area, you will be invited to apply for permanent resident status. Using the Express Entry process to complete your application raises your overall score, so that your application shines.
Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot
Eleven rural and northern communities administer immigration pilot programs to attract foreign workers to resettle in these under-populated regions. To attract new workers, these communities match applicants with local job vacancies and support their resettlement within these communities.
Atlantic Immigration Program
The Atlantic Region of Canada includes New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. These programs operate by having Canadian employers invite foreign workers to come to work for them. Once a job offer is accepted, the employer connects the prospective foreign worker with the social services needed to resettle and acclimate in the region.
Other Federal Skilled Worker Programs
Remember there are over 100 pathways to immigration in Canada, and these are only a few of the most popular. For those immigrants with a desire to settle in rural or northern regions, there is the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot. Agriculture is supported by the Agri-Food Immigration Pilot. Domestic skilled workers are invited to resettle in Canada through the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or the Home Support Worker Pilot.

Business Immigration
With the right financial backing, and business experience, Canada welcomes immigrants with entrepreneurial plans to apply for permanent resident status through the Federal Start Up Visa Program or Federal Self-Employed Persons Program, among others. Quebec has its own business immigration programs to attract foreign business projects to that province.
Family Class Sponsorship
Family unification is an important federal value, and is responsible for 100,000 immigrants coming to Canada annually. Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their spouses or common-law partners, parents and grandparents, and dependent children to move to Canada. To sponsor family members, the immigrant sponsor must agree to be financially responsible for these relatives. And to help families reunite, there is a Super Visa program to bring parents and grandparents to Canada.
