How to Immigrate


Edmonton’s dynamic economy creates all kinds of employment and chances for advancement. Small businesses do very well here, too.

This city also offers a very good standard of living, with a high rate of home ownership, low tax rates, fresh air, excellent health care, and high standards of education.

All Races, Cultures, Religions Are Welcome

We encourage people of all cultures, and faiths to come and join us here in Edmonton. Canada is a welcoming, tolerant country. Every year, at Edmonton’s Heritage Festival, we celebrate more than 60 cultures that are part of our community.

What’s the best immigration program for you?

The Government of Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration department (CIC) has several programs to help you to come here to work and live.

  • Skilled workers and professionals
  • Canadian Experience Class
  • Investors, entrepeneurs and self-employed people 
  • Provincial nominees
  • Sponsoring your family

There is a good introduction to each program at the Citizenship and Immigration website.
