Canada is one of the most beautiful countries in the world to live in. Once an Indian becomes a permanent resident (PR) or citizen of the country, they become eligible to take advantage of several benefits. These advantages, and other reasons, make Indians choose Canada to live there.
Reasons why Indians are Immigrating to Canada
Some reasons why Indians immigrate to Canada are:
- Healthcare Perks
- Live Anywhere
- Better Living Conditions
- Lower Crime Rates
- Higher Wages
1. Healthcare Perks
Canada is one of the best countries when it comes to healthcare services. Healthcare establishments in Canada, whether public or private, both provide top-notch quality healthcare services. The Canadian government offers amazing healthcare opportunities for Canadian permanent residents and citizens alike.
Moreover, public health care services are tax-funded and hence, almost free for all PRs and citizens. For more information on how to access these services, as an Indian in Canada, you should contact your provincial/territorial government.
2. Live Anywhere
Once an Indian gets Canadian PR, they are free to live anywhere in the country. Actually, not just live but also study and work in any province or territory of Canada.
3. Better Living Conditions
Just by choosing to live in Canada, you can raise your standard of living. Canada is one of the most inclusive, diverse, and understanding countries in the world. The government of Canada accepts Indian immigrants wholeheartedly and that’s why they remain happy, thus, the reason behind a better life.
4. Lower Crime Rates
Canada is one of the countries with a much lower crime rate. The people are not so violent and that makes Canada one of the safest countries to live in.
5. Higher Wages
The unemployment rate in Canada is only at 5.8% (as of February 2024). For the working population, Canada might be the best choice as it offers higher wages. Along with higher income, the work environment in Canada is also good.
This is not an exhaustive list of reasons or advantages of immigrating to Canada for Indians. These are only a selected few reasons why Indians are immigrating to Canada.
Where do Indians live in Canada?
The Canadian provinces loved by Indian immigrants are British Columbia, Ontario, and Calgary. Ontario is the most densely populated province in Canada and also where the third largest city in the country, Ottawa, the capital city of Canada is. Living in Ontario means you get to work in industries such as agriculture, forestry, fishing, etc. Similarly, British Columbia and Calgary are also great places to live for Indians as they offer diverse environments.
