Why Work in Canada as a Home Support Worker?
There are various reasons why Canada is such a great choice to move to, however, the top reasons include:
1. Lucrative Job Opportunities
Canada has the 11th largest economy, and due to early retirement, young professionals flocking to urban centres and being promoted, the Canadian labour market has a huge gap that currently cannot be filled by local workers. The Canadian government has therefore implemented various immigration programs to help employers fill the need for skilled workers.
2. Free Healthcare
All permanent residents and Canadian citizens have access to a world-renowned healthcare system. This is a great benefit is also extended to dependants and sponsored family members.

No country is completely free of crime but Canada ranks in the top 10 safest countries in the world, making it the perfect place to relocate to with your family or as a female immigrant. Canada is also ranked as the third-most democratic nation and has a very stable and liberal government, ranking first on the list of the most politically stable countries globally.
5. Supportive Expat Communities
Canada is known to be one of the most welcoming and friendliest nations in the world. It is a melting pot of different cultures, religions, diversity and tolerance. Canada’s largest ex-pat communities are predominantly found in Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
