Canada has become the destination of several immigrants, including Brazilians in search of job opportunities
Canada plans to give more job opportunities to immigrants from any country, including Brazil, differentiating itself from many countries that do not like the idea of receiving foreigners. Canada, being the largest nation in the world in terms of land area (second only to Russia), has a major population problem: Only 38 million inhabitants. A smaller number than, for example, that of the state of São Paulo, which had 46 million residents in 2019 according to the IBGE.

With little manpower, it is difficult for Canada to secure economic development. Therefore, the country encourages so much to give employment opportunities to immigrants. The president and founder of Cebrusa, consultancy in immigration to Canada, Daniel Braun, says that there are now more than 60 government programs there to attract immigrants.
Number of immigrants per year
Every year, the country sets an average number of immigrants it wants to receive, which was around 340 a few years ago. This was even the expectation for 2020, which was interrupted due to the pandemic.

Currently, Canada's economic recovery from this coronavirus crisis is directly linked to giving new job and study opportunities to immigrants. A third of businesses in the country are owned by a foreigner, representing, in 2019, 80% of population growth.
Canada's projects
The main options for those who want to move to Canada are work and study opportunities. The government makes it easy for international students to apply for permanent residency at the end of their course, which is one of the great advantages of the country. Some examples of the many projects that the country proposes to immigrants are:
Provincial Nominee: is the entry request for a specific province (Known here as a state), depending on the need for professionals in each of them.
Startup Visa program: this program is for immigrants who want to open a business in Canada, either to provide more job opportunities or by entering into partnerships in existing businesses.
caregivers: are for professionals who work as caregivers for the elderly, children or people with special needs.
