Canada Has Become The Destination For Several Immigrants, Including Brazilians Seeking Job Opportunities

Canada plans to provide more job opportunities for immigrants from any country, including Brazil, distinguishing itself from many countries that do not favor the idea of receiving foreigners. Canada, being the largest country in the world in terms of land area (second only to Russia), has a significant population problem: Only 38 million inhabitants. This is a smaller number than, for example, the state of São Paulo, which had 46 million residents in 2019 according to the IBGE.

With a shortage of labor, it is difficult for Canada to ensure economic development. Therefore, the country encourages providing job opportunities to immigrants. The president and founder of Cebrusa, an immigration consultancy for Canada, Daniel Braun, says that there are currently more than 60 government programs there to attract immigrants.

Number Of Immigrants Per Year

Annually, the country sets an average number of immigrants it wishes to receive, which has been around 340 thousand for several years. In fact, this was the expectation for 2020, which was interrupted due to the pandemic.

Currently, Canada’s economic recovery from the coronavirus crisis is directly linked to providing new job and study opportunities to immigrants. One-third of the country’s businesses are owned by foreigners, representing, in 2019, 80% of population growth.

Canada’s Projects

The main options for those who want to move to Canada are job and study opportunities. The government facilitates the application for permanent residency for international students at the end of their studies, which is one of the significant advantages of the country. Some examples of the many projects that the country offers to immigrants are:

Provincial Nominee: It is the application for entry into a specific province (known here as a state), depending on the demand for professionals in each of them.

Startup Visa Program: This program is for immigrants who wish to start a business in Canada, whether to create more job opportunities or to enter partnerships in existing businesses.

Caregivers: These are for professionals who work as caregivers for the elderly, children, or people with special needs.
