If you have kids – or even if you don’t – you’ll be going out of your way to check the crime rates of the place you want to move to. Canada is packed with a range of different cities known for different things, and yet it’s got one of the best ratings for safety and security across the world – an impressive 9.7/10. Gun control is excellent in Canada, which means fewer people carry weapons here!
A value in education. Canadians really value education for all of the young people in the country. Canadian children perform exceptionally well and it’s created a society of those who crave more knowledge, who earn more money, and a job market oozing with opportunities for better work.
The culture
Oh, if there was a smorgasbord of culture anywhere in the world, it’s Canada. It’s one of the most diverse nations in the world and when you move here, you find a place that accepts and embraces expats with open arms. You can get out and meet new people while embracing your new country. Canada is always ready for more people to invite into the fold!
Tolerance
Canada is famed for its liberal, relaxed reputation. It’s a place where people are noticed, heard, and listened to and that is so important in the place you want to live and raise a family. If you want to ensure that you live somewhere with a forward-thinking immigration policy, a zero-tolerance approach to hate crimes and racism, it’s Canada you want.
The economy
One of the best things about Canada is that you will find somewhere with one of the strongest economies in the world. Expats can have a wider variety of working options and the banking system is secure in Canada, too. If you’re ambitious and want to make something of yourself in Canada, you’re going to make it with a supportive and stable economy around you!
Healthcare
The healthcare system in Canada is much like England; it’s got a healthcare system that’s accessible and fair, and the treatment is mostly free at the point of use. It’s funded by the government and each province in Canada has its own budget, too. Depending on your visa, you may need private healthcare, but if you are a permanent resident in Canada you should be able to have fewer wait times for some procedures.
It’s beautiful
Really, this should have been at number one! Canada is the second-largest country in the world, and it’s one of the most beautiful, too. With the ice-bound mountains and snowy peaks, the sparklingly clear lakes reflecting the sky and the woodland packed with nature and animals, Canada offer some of the most beautiful areas in the world for you to explore. The cities are pretty to look at and the towns are just spectacular. There are waves of beauty wherever you go and with four distinctive seasons, you can enjoy deep snows and hot summers all in the same place.
The food
Oh, the food. Maple syrup and bacon is a staple here, but the sophistication of the culinary scene is just incredible. The waves of immigration mean that plenty of cultures are brought to the country and the combination of gravy and cheese curds to make poutine is one of the best dishes across Canada. The food here is simply amazing and you can find pretty much any cuisine if you look for it. You can really enjoy some of the best dishes here and there are bars, restaurants, and cafes to suit every person, families and more.
The humour
Some of the best comedians come from Canada and it’s a place where you can listen to some of the best comedy shows, and most Canadians will have a great laugh with you. The only thing that you can’t really joke about is ice hockey: Canadians are more patriotic about ice hockey than they are their own people – see, humour!
It’s a rich place
Whether we’re talking about the wealth of those in Canada or nature, Canada is a rich and fruitful place to be. There are plenty of places that need to be farmed here, and its natural wealth has led to a huge tourist industry boom. From seeing the whales to the polar bears, elks, and even the Northern Lights, Canada is the place to go if you want to experience a huge range of activities.
There are more than 200,000 immigrants settling in Canada every single year and it’s idyllic as a place to visit – even if not to move to. Canada is made up of plenty of cities that you would want to travel and see, and your whole family could settle here for years on end. Take these ten tips and make the move to Canada. A place in which you put down some roots for the first time in your life! Take your time to think about how you plan to get there; the pandemic is going to delay you anyway!
