Canada was voted as one of the best places in the world to live and work. This assessment was based upon Canada’s achievements in terms of educational attainment, life expectancy, national income and general quality of life. It also included Canada’s abundance of fresh water, comfortable population density, low incidence of violent crime and a health care system that is a model for the world.

Living in Canada – Visa Information

Work permits and visas are required by anyone who is not already a Canadian Permanent Residence or Canadian Citizen. Anyone may apply for a work permit before they enter Canada. In some cases, you must apply to a visa office outside Canada. This is usually true if you need a visa to enter Canada or if you need to have a medical exam before you come to Canada.
There are two types of work permits: open work permits and employer-specific work permits. The type of work permit you get depends on the nature of your business. The government of Canada website is a great source of information in relation to visa applications and immigration to Canada.
