But there are a lot of immigration issues that you need to work out as you come to Canada, and in many cases, an immigration lawyer in Ontario or an immigration lawyer in Alberta will be important toward you becoming a permanent resident.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the question is: where is the best place to immigrate to? Is it better to immigrate to Alberta or to Ontario? This article will help you understand the nuances of each and why you should make the decision you do.<\/span>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which Province in Canada is Best for Immigration?<\/span><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For starters, according to the 2016 census statistics in Canada, Ontario is the most common destination for immigrants to Canada\u2013and that\u2019s by a wide margin. Toronto, Ontario\u2019s largest city, saw 117,000 new permanent residents in that time. By contrast, Alberta\u2019s two largest cities, Edmonton and Calgary, saw 16,000 and 19,000 respectively.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is this disparity?\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, for starters, Toronto is simply a much bigger city than either of the others. And the dense population offers more in the way of educational and job opportunities. It\u2019s easier to find work in Toronto, especially skilled labor\u2013something that helps with the immigration process. It\u2019s easier, for example, to get a senior management position for the immigrant population in Toronto than it is in Alberta.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But more than that, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), is designed to pave the way for Ontario investment immigration. The Express Entry Profile for workers with many years of experience, for international students, or even for entrepreneurs with proposed business plans is much easier in Toronto than in other parts of Canada, including Alberta.\u00a0<\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the Best Way to Immigrate to Canada?<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immigrating to any country is going to be a time-consuming process, but getting the best immigration lawyer in Ontario, with law offices that specialize in the OINP program, is an excellent first start. With more than 30 years of legal experience and legal services, Altec Global is a law firm that has a proven track record for helping people along the path to immigration.
