As the second largest country, by area, in the world, Canada has plenty to offer its people. Its modern, multi-cultural society and a high standard of living has always made it a popular destination for living and working. Canada has a strong system of social benefits in place with healthcare, education, employment, student and disability benefits, which are accessible to everyone. This makes for a very inviting prospect for those considering any form of temporary or permanent immigration to this country.
Known to be a welcoming and generous host country, Canada has an established reputation for having some of the world’s most friendly and tolerant immigration programs in place. One such program is the C11 Entrepreneur Work Permit. It allows applicants to own or start a business in Canada and eventually, if they are interested, seek a pathway to residency and citizenship.
