Attractive destination

Canada is a beautiful country where life is good and there are limitless opportunities within everyone’s reach. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Ranking and Report August 2013, three Canadian cities rank in the top ten cities of the world in terms of living conditions: Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto. Canada is made up of a mix of many races and ethnic origins. It is a hub for immigrants. Everyone has a place and is encouraged to get involved in social, cultural, economic and political affairs. Thanks to its exceptional health care program, the average life expectancy in Canada is 81—three years above the American average. Canada admits more than 35 million temporary residents every year. Apart from Canadian citizens or Canadian permanent residents, people coming to Canada to visit, study or work may require a temporary resident visa (TRV) from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). The Canadian government grants permanent resident visas in two general streams: the family class and the economic class. The economic class mainly targets professionals and skilled workers who are able to apply to immigrate in the Federal Skilled Worker category.
