| Publisher Description: This book is all about immigrating to Canada. It is written for prospective immigrants who are planning to make the big, life-changing move to the 'Land of Maple Leaf'. Many people look to North America, mainly the United States, for better opportunities for themselves and their families. In recent years however, there has been a steady increase in the number of people who are looking to Canada for their "big break" and a higher standard of living.Over the last two decades, Canada has proven to be more immigrant-oriented, mainly owing to shortages in skilled and unskilled labor across the country. With a growing demand for workers, the Federal Government in partnership with Provincial Governments, have implemented various pathways and immigration pilot programs to bring in foreign workers. These programs attract a global cohort of immigrants to work in Canada in various industries such as agriculture, fisheries, transportation and services. Canada also has a robust, multi-million-dollar international student population which sees students coming from all corners of the globe to pursue higher education. The vast majority of graduates remain in Canada as foreign workers and eventually become permanent residents and citizens. Canada presents opportunities to try new things, start businesses and establish a solid foundation for families; however, many immigrants are unaware of the various challenges and are thus unprepared for life in Canada, especially during their time of transition and settlement. Many people also make the move to Canada with grand expectations based on what they have seen on the internet or heard from a friend or relative. While some things they may hear about Canada are true, the realities of settling down and becoming grounded in a new country are usually very different from the wonderful stories told. In this book, the author (an immigrant), seeks to outline in simple, reader-friendly language, many useful and practical guidelines to help you, the wayfaring immigrant, make better preparations for your "big move"; equip you to better navigate the new Canadian landscape; and provide knowledge to help you make more informed decisions as you transition and settle into your new home in Canada. Herein is KNOWLEDGE. |
