The world is made of various countries that are located in multiple places. Each of these countries has different aspects associated with them. In the past few years, the number of people immigration into numerous states has been on the rise. The main factor that has influenced many people to move from one country to another is to seek a better life or for education purposes. One such country that has seen the rise in the number of immigrants in Canada, as many people go there to acquire a better life. However, not every person is qualified to go to Canada, as certain immigration conditions have to be followed. As much as there are various conditions that are required for a person to move into Canada, there are multiple reasons as to why many people migrate into Canada. Therefore, this paper will investigate the causes as to why many people opt to move into Canada.
One of the reasons as why most people prefer to move to Canada is the fact that it is one of the leading countries that embrace multiculturalism as well as immigrants. As much as many people move from one country to another, there are most countries that do not embrace people from different cultures (Kaushal & Lu, 2015). In recent years, Canada has emerged as one of the countries in the world that allows people from different places, even though they may be associated with a varied culture. In this case, the immigrants living in Canada are primarily embraced by the citizens, and this has enhanced harmony throughout the country. Due to this favorable condition, many people have found Canada as an excellent place to migrate into since they know they will be welcomed.
The second reason as to why many people immigrate into Canada is that it is one of the countries that have the largest economy after being ranked 10th. Most people, when moving from one country to another, tend to look at the economic situation (Helliwell, Bonikowska, & Shiplett, 2016). The financial situation shows whether they will be able to survive. In case a country the economy of a country is low, that could be an indication that the cost of living may be high; thus, many people will prefer to shun away from moving into a country like this. Since Canada has managed to have a good economy, it is an indication that the cost of living is favorable, and this issue has forced many people to seek out permission to migrate to Canada.
The third reason that has forced many people to move to Canada is the education system (Paquet, 2017). Some people move from one country to another with the aim of seeking education or to increase their level of education. Canada is one of the countries in the world that has managed to create a robust education system that can meet the needs of various people who come from different spectrums of life (Thränhardt, 2014). The high standard of education in Canada has emerged as one of the reasons why many people are immigrating there.
Also, the tech industry of Canada has grown tremendously in the past few years. Currently, the world is experiencing massive growth in the tech industry. Since Canada is one of these countries that has experienced a rise in the tech industry, there is a need for more professionals that will fit in this field (Akbari & MacDonald, 2014). This issue has motivated many people to move into Canada, where they can be able to further their interest in the technological field.
Concluding, it is just to say that there are many reasons why people are moving from one country to another. In the past few years, the number of people moving between different countries, and most of them are driven by various needs. Canada is one of the countries that have recently experienced an influx in the number of immigrant from other countries. There are many factors that have influenced many people to move from their homelands to Canada. This paper started by identifying the ability of Canada to embrace multiculturalism has inspired many people to immigrate to Canada as they know they will be accepted. Also, the paper determined that the strength of Canada to build a sound economy had attracted many people. Furthermore, the paper identified that the growth in the tech industry as well as the development of a world-class education system.
