Lifestyle Advantage

A Great Place to Live

Canada is one of the best countries in the world to live, learn and work.  From wide-open spaces to the most cosmopolitan places, Canada offers beauty, variety and an enviable quality of life.  Canada is a place where people can realize their dreams, where families can enjoy a standard of living second to none, and where businesses enjoy a competitive edge.

Strong and Free

Canadians are hard-working, ambitious people who are proud of their successful, independent country. They want better lives for themselves, their children and future generations. They believe in tolerance, justice and providing a helping hand to the less fortunate. More than empty promises, equality is enshrined in Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the country’s Constitution, guaranteeing freedom and fairness for all.

Equality and Multiculturalism

Canada is a large country in both size and spirit. Canada ranks first among the G7 countries in providing equal opportunities for individuals, whether native-born or a new arrival. Canadians welcome immigrants from around the globe. Almost all of the world’s ethnic groups are represented in Canada, creating one of the world’s most culturally diverse and multilingual societies, with over 200 languages spoken. Canada is also a world leader in integrating newcomers, with progressive immigration laws highly conducive to hiring foreign workers.
