With over 70 programs to choose from, the possibilities are endless.
The process of making such a life-changing decision can be quite overwhelming but with our help to streamline the process, it will be virtually effortless. Right now you may be asking, “What makes Canada the best place to relocate to?” Well, here are 10 reasons why.
Why choose Canada?
1. Education - Education is of the highest standard in Canada and schooling up until Grade 12 is federally funded, meaning that it won’t cost you a thing. There are also a wide variety of tertiary institutions to choose from, such as McGill University, the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia.
2. Multicultural - Canada was the first country in the world to make multiculturalism an official policy, in 1971, and is one of the most diverse countries to live in, making it extremely easy to acculturate to while still retaining your own culture.
3. Diversification of Wealth - Canada offers a wealth of investment opportunities, particularly in the property sector.
4. Quality of Life Canada’s standard of living is exceptionally high. Most of the healthcare in Canada is free for permanent residents and citizens, however, it is important to note that certain procedures and prescription medications are not. Most provincial Medi-care systems are cost-effective and available to everyone.
5. Less Pollution - Levels of pollution are considerably lower than that of Taiwan. Canada has been ranked 9th on the list of the world’s cleanest countries for overall air quality.
6. Less Crowded - Taiwan is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. For a little more legroom, why not opt for cities such as the peaceful city of Edmonton (Alberta), the gorgeous coastline of Prince Edward Island or one of the beautiful prairie towns of Saskatchewan.
7. Entertainment - Canada is an urban playground, offering a wide variety of festivals and concerts, drawing a wide variety of international artists each year. It also boasts a bustling nightlife, various art museums, historical landmarks and restaurants. For the adventurers, there are numerous national parks to explore, such as Banff and Jasper National Parks.
8. Affordable - In Taiwan, a 100% import tax is added onto most goods prices, including luxury goods, making it more expensive to shop there than it is in the West. Housing and food are also very expensive. You could expect to pay over $390 per month on groceries in Taiwan whereas in Canada you can expect to pay approximately $214 per month, depending on the province and cities that you live in.
9. Job Opportunities There are many different jobs available in Canada, encouraging growth and offering employees the chance to further their education in their respective fields.
10. Inexpensive housing Depending on the province, housing can be quite affordable, for example, the average monthly rent in New Brunswick is approximately $893 per month or $178,000 to purchase a house. In Taiwan however, you're looking at paying around $456,603 to $521,832 for a house in Taipei, which is where most job opportunities are.
