Why is Canada the best destination for Indian techies?

In 2018, Canada approved nearly 40,000 Indians for Permanent Residence through the Express Entry Program. The number of Indians moving to Canada has been rising steadily over the years.

What makes Canada the best destination for Indians to live and work abroad? Why are more Indians choosing Canada over the US or the UK?

Here is why Canada is the best destination for Indian tech workers:

1. Canada’s economy was once hugely dependent on its natural resources. However, present-day-Canada has successfully transformed into a knowledge-driven economy. It is one of the leaders in fintech, artificial intelligence, biotech, and cloud software.

With the UK struggling with political turmoil due to Brexit and the US tightening immigration rules, Canada is the perfect destination for Indian techies.

2. Canada aims to admit one million more immigrants in the next few years. In contrast, the US has a more anti-immigration stand. Rejections for the H1B Visa has gone up alarmingly in the US. Canada welcomed more newcomers in 2018 than it ever did in the preceding 100 years. Canada, on the other hand, acknowledges the fact that immigrants are vital to its economy.
3. Canada is well-known for its tight-knit migrant communities. You can find a Little India, Chinatown, Little Italy and Koreatown in Toronto. Indians form one of the largest migrant communities in Canada. As per Statistics Canada, South Asians make up 4.8% of the population of Canada. 7.6% of the population of Ontario is made up of South Asians. Nearly 1 million South Asians live in the Greater Toronto Area with most of them concentrated in areas like Brampton.
4. The cost of living in Canada is much lower than countries like the US and the UK. Canada also has several affordable housing options including in areas which have large Indian communities. For instance, the rent of a one-bedroom house in Brampton is around CAD 1737. Compared to that a one-bedroom apartment in Fremont, USA will cost CAD 4037. Also, public transportation in areas like Toronto makes it much easier to commute.
5. Canada is a land of abundant natural beauty. From the famous Niagra Falls to the wide, open plains of Alberta, Canada’s natural landscape is diverse. From the red sand beaches in Prince Edward Island to ski-resorts in Whistler, you will definitely find something to your liking in Canada.
