Advantages of Canada immigration system
The demand for US visas such as the H1-B visa is high. But the immigration system of the US offers only a few pathways for the applicants, especially international student graduates, compared to Canada. At the same time, Canada has more than 100 economic-class immigration programs and issues a larger quantity of visas. Canada also has more pathways to permanent residency. Because of these, the employers in the US think that the immigration policies of Canada are more favourable than the US.
The US employers also exploring the possibility of expanding their operations to Canada or have already done so, in order to make the most of foreign talents available in the country. At the same time, the tighter immigration policies have made the US a less attractive destination for foreign skilled professionals. Furthermore, foreign students in Canada have better chances of obtaining permanent residence in the country compared to the US. Owing to these, Canada has emerged as a popular destination for workers as well as the employers.
