They are free to move within Canada and work for any employer. Spouse and eligible kids are also able to study or seek employment immediately. Traveling to other parts of the world is also hassle-free once you get the Permanent\u00a0Residence or citizenship. Canadian citizens are also able to work in the USA with a special visa and take up full-time employment.<\/p>\n<p>Canada remains as a top choice for immigrants due to the current anti-immigrant policies in the USA and the UK. Growth and opportunities are abundant for both highly skilled and entry-level professionals alike. Cost of living is similar to the United States although housing, clothing, and food cost higher. Hospital visits and basic medical care is free, but you need to spend on prescriptions. Driving a car can be a costly affair due to high vehicle insurance and traffic tickets. Severe winters and weather may create havoc on your health. Canadian dollars is thirty percent lesser than United States Dollar but it doesn&#8217;t matter much if you aren&#8217;t traveling out of the country. Security and long-term family settlement are the plus points if you move to Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada is emerging as the top choice for immigrants in North America.
