Why Canada with long very cold winters and high taxes in addition to the high cost of living, still is an attractive country to immigrate to among immigrants from other countries?
During Canadian summers, autumns and springs, the country is breathtakingly beautiful. From high mountains, majestic landscapes, diverse wildlife, over 2 million lakes and 300 billion trees, there is plenty to explore in the second largest country in the world.
Provincial governments typically guarantee just two weeks of paid vacation time every year. In addition to paid leave, employees in Canada are entitled to just five personal days, which are usually used for illness or emergencies. Only two countries offer less than Canada in terms of paid leave: Japan and the United States.
It is true that no country is without faults. The question now becomes, “why did I choose to move to Canada?”
Because of Canada’s freedom of speech and freedom of expression laws, living in Canada allows me to express my true self and to be my true self. Even though I am an advocate of collective culture and strong communities, I also believe it is important that people are able to express themselves as best as they possibly can, without fear of judgement or backlash. Living a genuine life is irreplaceable.
My second reason might seem a little cliché— and that’s Canada’s free universal healthcare system. It is just incredible. Some people may complain about long wait times. But I would prefer long wait times to a huge medical bill. In Canada, you will be getting high quality medical care and you’ll only have to worry about purchasing medicine, which is usually heavily subsidized by provincial governments. Having a strong healthcare system at my disposal gives me the peace of mind
The good thing about moving to Canada is that there are over 100 different ways to come here through economic-class immigration alone.
