Why more Indians are moving to Canada?

India is by far Canada's top source of international talent.India is by far the largest supplier of international talent for Canada. Canada received an all-time high of nearly 405,000 immigrants in 2021. Indian origins are represented by almost one-third of these immigrants.

Additionally, Canada accepted close to 450,000 foreign students last year, with Indians making up close to 50% of this number.A total of 130,000 people received work permits under the International Mobility Program, while over 10,000 Indians migrated to Canada via the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

A mix of international and internal Canadian factors can explain the high rates of new immigrant arrivals from India.India has a burgeoning middle class with the credentials needed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to grant a visa, including education, language proficiency, work experience, and settlement funds.

All Indians seeking to immigrate to Canada, whether as citizens, foreign workers, or international students, must possess these qualities.Another significant international element is the rise in the number of Indian foreign workers who have recently moved to Canada in order to obtain permanent residence due to the U.S.'s lack of permanent residence paths.

Indian talent has benefited greatly from a number of significant immigration policy reforms implemented by Canada domestically.Express Entry was implemented by the IRCC in 2015 to oversee its primary federal economic class immigration programmes.

This required the development of the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which assigns candidates scores and rankings based on a variety of criteria, including their age, education, language proficiency, work history, and other characteristics, such as having obtained their education and experience in Canada.

Given the qualities outlined above, Indians often perform well under the CRS and are by far the largest source of successful candidates who eventually obtain permanent residency through Express Entry.

For instance, Indians have a distinct edge over citizens of many other nations due to their high levels of English proficiency.Additionally, in order to help eligible Indians, accelerate their academic careers in Canada, IRCC introduced the Student Direct Stream (SDS) in 2018.

Additionally, the SDS has a greater success rate than the conventional approach for requesting a study visa.

As said, Indians have an advantage under Express Entry and many other Canadian immigration processes including the Provincial Nominee Program if they study in Canada and subsequently work here, frequently under the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) (PNP).

The sizeable Indian diaspora in Canada and the spread of Indian culture throughout the nation are two more significant domestic factors to consider.This promotes the settlement and integration of new Indians into Canadian society and makes them feel at home.

According to Canada's 2016 Census, there are 1.4 million people of Indian heritage living in the country, but the number is expected to rise significantly when Census 2021 data is released later this year. The number of Indians emigrating to Canada is expected to continue to rise in the future.

For the purpose of accelerating its post-pandemic economic recovery, Canada is raising its immigration levels. The goal for this year is almost 432,000 immigrants, and by 2024, it will be over 450,000.When the IRCC publishes its Immigration Levels Plan 2023–2025 by November 1 of this year, the targets may increase once more.

There are no caps on the number of foreign workers or students that Canada will accept.We should continue to anticipate high levels of Indians travelling to Canada to work and study over the future years given the country's historic labour shortages and high demand for students.

Aside from that, unlike earlier in the pandemic, Canada no longer has travel restrictions in place that hinder Indians from physically starting their studies there.Additionally, in order to include their whole Canadian education toward the duration of their Post-Graduation Work Permit, all overseas students must physically be in Canada.
