Canada aims to grow its population and future tax base and drive its economy through immigration, so it is easier to enter Canada than many other developed countries. Canada particularly encourages immigration by young, educated, English and/or French speakers with at least two years’ work experience.

FAQs
You need a work permit if you are performing an activity for which a Canadian would receive remuneration. However, there are exceptions: business visitors may enter to negotiate contracts, attend business meetings and fulfil after-sales service contracts. It is best to check before travel to avoid any difficulty at the border.
There are many different work permits. Some are easier to obtain than others and some assist in obtaining permanent residence. We can help to determine your best option by discussing your short- and long-term migration objectives and formulating a plan to achieve them.
There are several pathways to permanent residency. Some are administered by the federal government, others by individual provinces. We can help to find your best pathway by conducting an assessment of your situation.
