Canada – Country Profile

Canada is a highly proactive immigrant destination country that seeks to increase its population and economy through both permanent and temporary immigration. India recently overtook China as the largest country of origin, providing much needed talent and labour for Canada across sectors through both temporary and permanent pathways. Important emerging countries of origin are Nigeria and Ghana, particularly in the STEM and healthcare sectors. Recent reforms in the Canadian immigration system, especially those affecting international students and their families, will bring significant upheaval to the India-Canada migration skill corridor.
