What are some reasons people immigrate to Canada?

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, people from the Ukraine emigrated to the Prairies in order to take advantage of very cheap farm land.  The countryside there was very similar to the Steppes, where they lived and farmed.

None.  Canada is not a viable place to live, eh?

Most immigrants go to a new country to find economic freedom or freedom of speech or religion.  Since the USA has those things, it is not a valid reason for getting a residence status.  \n\nIf you have some really needed skill (a doctor or machine tool designer or something like that) you may get in some places like Australia.  Or if you have a pile of money.

Depends -- I do love the mosaic of people who make up the population of countries like the USA & Canada.  I don't like it when they bring their problems here or define themselves entirely by their departed country.  My parents become Canadians when they left thier country to come here and didn't define themselves according to the country they no longer wished to live in.  Seems that some just come here for whatever they can get out of it without showing any allegience to their new home.\n\n(& yea, your link doesn't work, so my answer might be a little more general than what you were looking for)

Canada Immigration now favours people from those countries instead of Europeans....\nI am not judging. This is a fact.\nLots of Eastern European too..\nI don't know why. Cheap labour for some ? Lots of people from China, Korea etc are already extremely educated already but their diplomas are not recognised.\nWhy ? more children ??\nEuropeans do not have as many children..\nIt is puzzling.\nAnd folks : no offense to anybody whatsoever ! I saw how many so educated people from other countries end up flip-flopping burgers !

I would definately consider...\n\nLots of people indeed decide to move abroad on the basis of not agreeing with the direction of their home government. For instance, on the day following George W. Bush re-election, Canada`s imigration Web site received a record number of visits and the majority were from Americans. \n\nPreviously, US immigration to Canada ran at about 23,000 a year during the Vietnam War

For your information, people come to Canada illegally all the time, and because of our liberal policies and fairly good social services they feel that they will have an easy ride when they get here. Unfortunately, they are often indentured to some Gang Boss and have a life debt to pay and live a very miserable and isolated life. Also, I am not sure if you are aware of this, but there isn't a 10 foot wall of snow at the Canada/U.S. border and we don't travel around on dog-sleds (anymore anyway). I live in Vancouver BC and it almost never snows here. As a matter of fact, I think Seattle gets more snow than us and they are several hundred miles to the south of us.

I got a new friend came from europe here he loves it . Canada is the best place in the world to live. We are all brothers and sisters canada is diverse in cultures , languages, people. We are a multicultural country and proud of it thats what Canada is built upon. We do not believe in assimilation like our neighbours to the south. Also it is a country here where we , feed the poor , take care of our old, and health care and poverty. We are still a country where we do not lock our doors and trust people.

CANADA!  The United Nations seems to agree. So too do all the prospective immigrants who can't wait to get into the country.  They even come illegally.  Yes we're a wonderfully even-tempered people who like to mind our own business, let others live as they believe appropriate and just try to "get along".  What more could you want in a place to live?  Our family has been here since 1780 - province of New York previous to that since 1623 - so we can claim loyalty to this grand Dominion.  G-d save the Queen!

People migrate for economic reasons, better livelihood, better healthcare, better education, basically progression in life.\n\nThe advantage is that people send money home and people develop new skills abroad that may better the people

Contact people that work in realestate in canada and the u.s. they could probably answer your questions. but you don't have to buy property to immigrate.

I'm not sure about the personal stories about new Canadians. I don't know if they are experiencing racism or what exact problems they are facing.  On the other hand I know a little bit of the numbers, and the composition of the people moving to Canada to create a new home.   \n\nCanada lets in about 0.75% of it population each year as immigrants.  This means that this years Canada will be accepting about 250 000 new people into the country.  Most of the new people coming to Canada are from China, India North and West Africa, Pakistan.   \n\nCanada's immigration policy has been changing over the years and is attempting to get higher skilled and younger workers to move to Canada.  It helps if the immigrant speaks French or English .  \n\nA big problem is the income levels of new immigrants into Canada.  A new immigrant that has similar education experience and language ability will on average make 22 to 25% less than a person born in Canada.  \n\nI hope this helps a bit.

It depends on why you are coming to Canada--if you are intending to move here as a permanent resident, there are limits to how often you can leave the country for your first year here.

You should do whatever makes you happy.  With that said, I think Canada is the best country in the world.  I'm a proud Canadian.  Every country has its' issues, Canada included, but the pros definitely outweight the cons.  I've traveled to other countries, and I currently live in the States, but to me, there's no place like Canada.  Our society as a whole is more welcoming and open to other cultures, than many other societies.  We're a humble and modest people,  our quality of life is excellent, and really, you can't get Tim Horton's in the UAE. :)
