Canada is ready to welcome people from around the world.

Have you noticed that we live in an unsettled world after reading the recent newspaper headlines? There’s Brexit in Great Britain, labour strife in France, immigration debate in Germany and economic turmoil in Latin America.

Likewise, there are talks about border walls and denied entries in the United States, and it’s little wonder that Canada is becoming one of the top countries of choice for immigrants.

And Canada is glad for this opportunity. The country is ready to welcome people from around the world. By 2021, it wants to attract 350,000 immigrants a year.

Canada was built by immigrants and is committed to the ideal that the country is made stronger by the contributions of its people. However, today Canada also needs more workers who can support the country’s economic growth.

“Canada welcomes everyone regardless of race or religion,” says Rachel Gary, COO of Canada Direct. “The Canadian government wants brilliant minds and skilled workers to come here.”

It’s perfect timing for people who want to move to Canada. “More and more people want to become Canadian citizens,” Gary says. “North America has always had huge appeal to people from around the world, even Europeans. Now, with everything that’s happening in the States, more are turning to Canada.”

Many people see Canada as a place where they can thrive, meet their personal potential and live a good life.

However, political or economic turmoil in their home country is not enough on its own for immigration. The requirements for immigrating to Canada also include people’s willingness and ability to contribute to the economy.

“When people come to us asking for information, we make sure they meet proper age and education requirements,” Gary says, clarifying that Canada Direct helps candidates go through the entire immigration process from the original application to the final stage of submitting documentation for permanent residency.

“There are things that the Canadian government asks of the potential immigrant. It works on a points system and we help people get the required number of points. For instance, everyone, even if they are native speakers, has to take an English proficiency test. We provide the course and help them prepare. We let them know which documents they need and how to bring them up to Canadian standards. If they are able to apply to multiple programs, we do hybrid applications.”
