Country Profile

Stretching from stylish Vancouver in the West to laid back Halifax and Montreal in the East and from cosmopolitan Toronto in the South to the Artic and beyond in the North, Canada is a vast and varied landscape. With a rich colonial tradition, the people are as diverse as the country is vast and this means that Canada has something to offer everyone.

The largest city in Canada, Toronto is a modern city offering fantastic career prospects for those involved in the commerce and finance industry. Likewise, I.T professionals can also further there careers in Toronto, however opportunities are not just limited to the big cities. Engineers for example are in shortage in Alberta and Britsih Colombia, whilst destinations such as Saskatchewan are desperate for healthcare professionals.

Whilst careers are important to many of us, the most important reason for choosing Canada is the lifestyle. Vast open expanses, great scenary and fresh air make outdoor living part of everyday life. Rather than dreading the winter, you can now look forward to it as this is when the real Canada emerges. Colourful Autumn falls through into winter and snow and winter sports really come to the fore. Ice skating, ice hockey, skiing, snow boarding and curling are just some of the activities you and your family can engine.
