About Canada
In 2005 the UN had rated Canada as the fifth best country in the world in which to live. The report rates such things as life expectancy, access to education and health care, income, gender equality and the opportunities available for citizens to participate fully in their society. It evaluates the freedom and choices of citizens to pursue their potential as human beings. Moreover, the high standard of living and high quality of life are the main two reasons why immigrants make Canada their destination of choice.

Before you decide to immigrate to Canada, you will want to learn more about the country. To make your decision easier, About Canada (canada.gc.ca) has information about Canada's government, society, land and economy. Canada International (canadainternational.gc.ca) also gives you a snapshot of this country's government services and programs for potential new immigrants, newcomers and people who want to visit or study in Canada.

To get an application form for immigrating to Canada, you can download applications and forms (cic.gc.ca) from the Canadian Citizenship and Immigration site.  Application forms can also be obtained from the Canadian Embassy in your home country.
