In fact, Canada got the top spot for being the best place for entrepreneurs according to the OECD in 2019. Immigrant-run businesses are creating more jobs and growing faster than those run by folks born in Canada.

When it comes to jobs, immigrants are filling up important gaps. Canada's got these smart immigration programs picking people who have the skills and education needed for the job market. And guess what? Most of these skilled immigrants catch up to the average Canadian’s salary in less than five years.

Culturally, Canada's vibe is all about being diverse and welcoming. Immigrants usually come with solid education and big ambitions, which fits right into Canada's modern, knowledge-based society. They're not just living in Canada; they're actively involved in politics and community stuff, which is great for democracy and all that.

In my neighbourhood I am surrounded by Itaians, French, with some greek, some black, 1 Indian family, and even a family of 3 kids with 2 moms. Everyone is cool. And the food - wow.. Every summer there is a big party in the park where we all get to meet and hangout. 2 of the families have recently invited refugees to stay with them. Speaking of refugees..
