Canada Overview

Canada is the second largest country in the world - after Russia - and largest on the continent. It is one of the world's wealthiest nations and has one of the world's highest qualities of life. Today Canada closely resembles the US in its market-oriented economic system, pattern of production, and high living standards.

The relaxed life style, stable political, justice, economic and social environment, excellent educational and health system, relatively moderate personal tax system, advantageous corporate tax rates, multilingual population and worldwide known Canadian tolerance of other cultures, made Canada one of the most desirable countries to live, do business, raise family, work and invest.

Canada has a long tradition of immigration and an elaborate system to evaluate and admit new residents. Citizenship is available after four years of residence (and 183 days minimum physical presence during each of the four calendar years), and the Canadian passport is one of the best travel documents in the world.

You can establish residence by applying for Canadian Permanent Residence in one the following categories:

• Investors
• Entrepreneurs
• Self Employed Persons
• Skilled Workers and Professionals

Once your application is approved, you and members of your immediate family may enjoy all advantages of Canadian citizens (with the exception of voting and holding political office) including access to excellent free health care and first class education.
