Canada Top Destination For Foreign Workers, Says New Study

Canada has overtaken the U.S. as the top destination for foreign workers, says a new study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and The Network. The report on global mobility found that Canada has become the most attractive choice for foreign workers due to the COVID pandemic and former President Trump's restrictive immigration policies were key factors in driving foreign worker's preferences on where to move. The United States was the #1 choice amongst foreign workers in 2018 and 2014, while Canada placed 3rd globally.

According to the results,

Canada was also the top choice for those with master’s degrees and doctorates, workers with digital expertise, and workers under 30.

Decoding Global Talent

The research included 209,000 people in 19 countries.


Canada Consistently Named Top Choice for Immigrants

Canada has increasingly become an attractive destination for foreigners due to its need for skilled workers and economic immigrants, welcoming people, progressive social policies and beautiful cities and countryside.

Forbes Bros. Ltd. chose Ackah law as our immigration specialist for several reasons:

1. Competence: As immigration, permanent residency and the temporary Foreign worker program are necessary to our business we are not in a position to use a less than fully qualified service provider on these files.

2. Responsiveness: When you are dealing with the lives of people, there is nothing more important to that individual at that moment than his or her immigration issues, responsiveness to this, and an appreciation of the employee’s position is key.

3. Attitude: The thing I like best about Ackah law is the attitude and can-do spirit of the staff. Evelyn and her team show us what a small group of dedicated individuals can do. IT is the first time in a long time that I didn’t feel like a billable hour in a lawyers office.
