Until a few years ago, the United States was the dream destination of immigrants from India. But now the scenario has changed and Canada has emerged as the most preferred destination of immigration for Indians. The reasons for Indian immigrants choosing Canada over the US are many. Canada already has a huge Indian diaspora. The presence of this sizeable Indian community give the new Indian immigrants a flavour of home, even when the get to enjoy the high living standards of Canada. This is one of the reasons why Indians prefer to settle in Canada.
At the same time, the stricter immigration policies of the US are turning Indian immigrants away from the country. Many Indian immigrants who are already in the United States have been waiting for years to attain their green cards. On the contrary, obtaining a Canada PR visa often takes only about one year in most cases. In the country, the residents also enjoy access to free healthcare and education. Because of this reason, more and more Indians choose to migrate to Canada.
In 2019, Indians constituted the largest group, based on the country of origin, of immigrants admitted to Canada through Express Entry. In 2021, Canada is planning to welcome more than 401000 new immigrants to the country. This will definitely open up new opportunities for aspiring Indian immigrants to migrate to Canada. Despite the borders remaining closed owing to the pandemic, Canada is reiterating its commitment to welcome a high number of immigrants to the country. By setting this high immigration target, Canada is aiming to compensate the low number of skilled immigrants who could come to Canada in 2020. This has emerged as a golden chance for Indian skilled immigrants who are looking for opportunities abroad.

It is a point-based system and points are awarded to candidates based on various eligibility factors such as skills, education, language ability, work experience etc. The candidates nominated by Canadian provinces receive additional points. Those with the highest scores receive invitation to apply for permanent residence in the country.
