If you are considering moving to Canada to work
or study, the number of areas within the country
can be quite large. How do you start choosing
between 10 states and 3 territories? Are there
significant differences between each state? What
should we know about each weather, economy and
city? Canada is a geographically diverse country.
It is important to consider all options before
choosing a destination state or territory. To
simplify the process, I've created an overview to
help you understand what each offers. Canada has
a federal immigration program, but it also has
eligible provincial and territorial immigration
streams. Each jurisdiction can also set its own
rules on how certain foreign certificates are
recognized. Click on the resource links to help
you better understand how each state or territory
addresses these important issues.
