Immigrating to Canada

Canada is one of the few countries with an active program for permanent immigration. If you wish to relocate to Canada permanently, you must inform yourself of Canada's immigration regulations and policies and insure that you meet the necessary criteria.

In Canada, immigration is a shared responsibility of the Federal and Provincial governments. However, accepting immigrants and issuing visas is done by the Federal Government. This is to ensure national security and integrity in the system.
