Every immigrant has a final goal to become a citizen of a country and enjoy the full range of advantages that one can avail through it. People holding a Canadian Permanent Residency Card and who meet further eligibility requirements have the option to apply for Canadian Citizenship.
With its liberal policies for immigrants and friendly environment for residents, most people have Canada on top of their migration list. Because of this, it has become an easy choice for Indians to opt moving to Canada.
Culture-wise it has the most diverse communities and each one is equally respected and thought about. Migrating can seem a little scary to some, but when you are assured of having the same community in the destination country as well, just like you had one at home, then leaving family behind or distancing from your roots aren’t the most logical arguments.
