A picture perfect destination, if you like the cold weather, of course. Below are important points people look into before thinking of relocating to a new country. Sure money and being able to settle in a new place is important, but also being welcomed in said new place is much more vital.

Why are more Ghanaians choosing Canada?
There are so many benefits to immigrating to Canada, the number one reason why people choose Canada is its tolerance. In Canada everyone is welcome and everyone will be treated equally regardless of background or religion.

Canada Welcomes Immigrants
Canada aims to bring more than 1.2 million immigrants over the next three years. It is a large country with a small population with many resources available. This creates the need for more jobs and therefore more people. Immigrants in Canada can benefit from more than the job opportunities or quality of life but also the benefit of being treated equally.

Healthcare
Canada’s public healthcare system is based on universal coverage for medically necessary healthcare services based on need, rather than the ability to pay. What this means is that the patient will not have to pay for most healthcare services. This is possible because the healthcare system is paid through taxes. It is important to remember that this applies to all Canadian citizens, permanent residents along with their spouses and dependents. Certain prescriptions may also not be covered, however, there are many private or employer-based insurance options that will cover the costs.

Job Opportunities
Canada has a small population and a large number of Canadians retiring, with the economy constantly growing this creates a gap in the job market. The Canadian Government has since created many programs for skilled workers to immigrate to Canada and contribute to the economy.

Safety
Canada is considered to be one of the safest countries in the world. It has an overall low crime rate, this is for both petty and violent crimes. Although it is not at zero, the low crime rate does bring peace of mind concerning people and their family’s safety. This alone is an incredible reason why you should move to Canada.

Diversity
Canada is very welcoming to immigrants from all over the globe. People are not judged or discriminated against because of their religion or race. It  has a multiculturalism policy called the Canadian Multiculturalism Act, ensuring everyone receives equal treatment. This means living in Canada can feel like home, and there will always be support for those who need it.

Free Education
All citizens and permanent residents can enjoy the benefit of free education. This is only for public schools, however, this should not be a worry as they are highly regarded because of a very strong government-regulated educational system. Canada’s education is ranked in the top 10 of the world. Creating a better future for your children certainly is a great reason to immigrate to Canada.

Civil Liberties
Canada leads with progressive civil liberties, allowing everyone the right to freedom of expression.  Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.

Quality of Life in Canada
Canada is highly ranked in the world for the quality of life, and with the reasons mentioned it is easy to see why. Canada is above average in terms of safety, healthcare, well-being and environmental quality to mention a few. It is all the small things that add up to a good quality of life and Canada takes care of those small things. People have many good things to say about the country, if you move to Canada, chances are you will too.
