Canada is a country of immigrants. So it was in the days of the first European colonizers, and the trend continues to this day. About 300,000 new immigrants come to the country every year (in 2019 - 313,600 people, in 2020 - 284,390 people). For 2021, Canadian authorities plan to accept about 400,000 new immigrants.

According to polls, Canada ranks second among the countries that people from all over the world dream of moving to (according to UN data for 2019). In the case of Canada, you can not only dream, but also make your dreams come true, because the country has various government-supported immigration programs.

About 21% of the population of Canada are immigrants, that is, people who were born in another country and for one reason or another moved to Canada and received the status of a permanent resident (Permanent Residence).

The whole process of obtaining Canadian citizenship can be divided into 3 stages
Temporary visa (study, work, etc.) - sometimes this step can be skipped;
Permanent resident status (residency);
Citizenship.
