provinces for newcomers

Get Canada provinces for newcomers
If you are considering moving to Canada to work or study, the
number of areas within the country can be quite large. How do you
start choosing between 10 states and 3 territories? Are there
significant differences between each state? What should we know
about each weather, economy and city?
Canada is a geographically diverse country. It is important to
consider all options before choosing a destination state or territory.
To simplify the process, I've created an overview to help you
understand what each offers.
Canada has a federal immigration program, but it also has eligible
provincial and territorial immigration streams. Each jurisdiction can
also set its own rules on how certain foreign certificates are
recognized. Click on the resource links to help you better
understand how each state or territory addresses these important
issues.
British Columbia
British Columbia, Canada's westernmost province, is known for its beautiful forests and
mountains.The state's largest cities, Vancouver and Victoria, are located near the Pacific
Ocean and have a mild but humid climate. If you settle in this part of British Columbia, expect
rainier winters than snowy ones.
The rest of British Columbia has a typical Canadian climate with cold, snowy winters. The
state has world-class universities and a growing tech economy.
When you arrive, you can think back to BC. The city looks like California. This is because the
state often represents California in TV shows and movies.
Population size: 5,286,528 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 34,385 in 2021
Alberta
Alberta is often referred to as Canada's Texas because its main industry is oil and
gas. The state is made up of farmland, mountains, cities, and winters are very
cold. Alberta is known for the earliest and most recent snowfall of the season.
Alberta is also known for its cowboy culture, and the Calgary Stampede is one of
the state's flagship cultural events. It is also home to the UFO landing pad. If
you're passing through St. Paul, Alberta, be sure to visit the UFO Tour and
Information Centre.
Population size: 4,500,917 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 23,987 in 2021
Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan is known as an agricultural state. But those who don't grow the
country's food are active in other popular industries in the state, including
mining, manufacturing and oil and gas.
The Saskatchewan Plains offer beautiful prairie views. It also has typical
Canadian winters and hot, humid summers.
Have you been to the Dead Sea? Saskatchewan has a similar body of water,
Little Manitou Lake, which is too high in minerals to be submerged.
Population size: 1,186,308 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 7,321 in 2021
Manitoba
Manitoba is a prairie province in central Canada with several
developing industries. The state is known for its advanced
manufacturing and heavy manufacturing. Professional experience is
welcome.
Manitoba has flat farmland and forests that appear to be fertile breeding
grounds for snakes. The state's Narcisse Snake Dens, just north of
Winnipeg, has the highest concentration of snakes in the world. More
than 75,000 people wake up from hibernation each spring.
Population size: 1,393,179 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 10,194 in 2021
Ontario
Ontario is Canada's most populous province and is home to Canada's capital,
Ottawa, and its largest city, Toronto. Toronto is home to many corporate
headquarters and is Canada's most diverse city. Less than half of Toronto's
citizens are newcomers, and more than 52% are visible newcomers.
Newcomers to Canada can connect with other communities around the world in
cities across the province. Ontario is home to some of the best universities in
Canada, including the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo.
Ontario is also home to Canada's only professional basketball team. The
Toronto Raptors won the NBA championship in 2019.
Population size: 15,007,816 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 107,865 in 2021
Quebec
If you’re a French speaker, you’ll love Quebec, which is Canada’s francophone province. The
French language is protected and more than three quarters of the population are French
speakers. All signs must be in French and most school-age children attend French speaking
schools.
The provincial government prioritizes French-speaking newcomers.
Quebec is also the world’s largest producer of maple syrup. Over 70% of global syrup production
happens in the province, which was once the site of a maple syrup heist that saw more than $18
million in syrup go missing! a, the thieves were later caught.
Population size: 8,653,184 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 33,385 in 2021
Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is one of Canada's Atlantic provinces, and fishing has
historically been a big industry. But so is shipbuilding and manufacturing.
There are many Scottish immigrants in the county, resulting in a rich Gaelic
and Celtic culture. Universities in Nova Scotia are known for their specific
programs outside of Canada.
Do you like watching the tide come in? The Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia
has some of the highest tides in the world. 160 billion tons of seawater
flows in and out of the bay every day.
Population size: 1,007,049 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 3,536 in 2021
New Brunswick
New Brunswick's beauty is largely due to its breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean
and dense forests. It is also a bilingual province with a large French-speaking
population. Cold winters and severe storms are expected here. I need a good pair of
boots!
The state relies on forestry, mining, fishing, tourism and potato chips. The small town of
Florenceville Bristol is often referred to as the potato chip capital of the world. About a
third of the world's frozen French fries are made there, and there's even a museum
dedicated to the much-loved potato called "The Potato World."
Population size: 800,243 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 2,689 in 2021
Newfoundland and Labrador
Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the less populous states, but offers
many opportunities and jobs in fields such as mining and manufacturing. The
state is known for its local culture, quality seafood and friendly residents.
It is also known for the first transatlantic flight in 1919. John Alcock and
Arthur Brown flew 16 hours from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to Ireland.
Population size: 522,875 (as of 2022)
Newcomers arriving: 885 in 2021
Prince Edward Island
Best known for his Lobster Rolls and Green Gables' Anne series, P.E.I. It's
Canada's smallest province. One of the longest bridges in the world connects the
island to the mainland. One of the downsides of living here is the lack of access
to some special forms of healthcare. Residents will be sent to the mainland for
certain formalities.
Prince Edward Island is known for tourism and fishing. As the name suggests, it
is not an island. The state actually contains 232 islands. On all these islands, PEI
also has many lighthouses. There are still 63 lighthouses, but only 35 are
currently in operation.
Population size: 167,680 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 1,211 in 2021
Yukon
Known for its gold rush stories in the Yukon, mining remains the largest industry in the region. But
tourism is also a big industry in Whitehorse and beyond. Tourists from all over the world come to
watch the Northern Lights and enjoy dog sledding.
The Yukon Territory is home to a large number of indigenous peoples and a rich cultural history. As
with all Canadian territories, the cost of living is high. During winter, most essentials have to be
shipped by air, resulting in high grocery bills.
Most people don't know that the Yukon is the highest mountain in Canada and Mount Logan is the
second highest mountain in North America.
Population size: 43,249 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 300 in 2021
Northwestern Territories
The Northwest Territories are beautiful, but expensive. This is a sparsely
populated area and there is no high-speed internet access anywhere.
However, with the booming tourism and mining industries, newcomers may
have good opportunities due to the lack of skilled and professional workers .
Like the Yukon, there are many indigenous peoples in the Northwest
Territories. They have a similar high cost of living, as it is difficult to get
essentials to the city and build new homes during the winter.
In addition to being known for its cold weather, the region is also known as
the diamond capital of North America. There are several diamond mines in
the Northwest Territories.
Population size: 45,607 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 144 in 2021
Nunavut
The northernmost territory, Nunavut has beautiful Arctic wildlife and scenery and is populated
primarily by the Inuit people. The territory faces significant resource and development issues, as
well as an extremely high cost of living due to the difficulties of getting necessary food and
building materials into the territory.
While opportunities here are limited and access to things like post-secondary education and
specialized medical care limited without travelling out-of-territory, there’s a need for certain
professions in Nunavut.
Ever dream of going to Mars? Turns out Nunavut’s climate is so similar to what Mars’ climate is
believed to be that the Haughton-Mars Project trains astronauts there for future Mars missions.
Population size: 40,103 as of 2022
Newcomers arriving: 21 in 2021
