Canadian Cities are Popular Among Immigrants
According to Statistics Canada, Calgary had welcomed nearly 46% of total immigrants moving to Alberta. During the same period, nearly 81% of total immigrants moving to British Columbia landed in Vancouver and about 76% of immigrants who moved to Ontario chose Toronto as their preferred destination.
Toronto is the largest city in Canada and is a competitor to Silicon Valley and Seattle in terms of tech jobs and settlements. Since 2013, it has added about 80,100 tech jobs and skilled foreign immigrants were its major beneficiaries.
Calgary, Alberta is known for heavy establishments such as the oil and gas industry and the same requires a skilled workforce which is fulfilled by foreign skilled Immigration.
Vancouver is applauded for maintaining corruption-free public services, a high level of secularism, and greater sensitivity to climate change. Toronto outranked other Canadian cities in healthcare and education services.
Additionally, a recent study by the Canadian Bureau for International Education ranked Canada’s stability as the number one deciding factor for international students.
Benefits of Canada Immigration now include Gender Equality
Direct PR pathway, favorable policies, and multiculturalism remain to be the marketing words for Canadian immigration. A new criterion is now added to the benefits of Canadian immigration.
In another report by Bloomberg prepared in 2021, Toronto ranked highly on equality, maternity, and wealth.
For career women like Lara Zink, gender equity is becoming an increasing imperative. “I had a 20-plus-year career in capital markets at one of Canada’s Big Five banks while raising two children as a single mom, which was both challenging and rewarding,” she says.
She remarks, “Today most women working in finance in Toronto take up to 12 months maternity leave, and many men are now taking advantage of parental leave policies, too. It goes a long way in reducing the stigma attached to maternity leave for women.”
