If you want to immigrate looking away from Canada’s hottest spots could be your best bet. High housing prices in both citizens has prompted the government to encourage immigrants to look at other provinces and cities.

The government can’t force anyone to live anywhere of course, but they can issue more Provincial Nominee Programs. In addition, announcing that you wish to live in other regions of the country may provide you with a small boost when your application is being considered.

In addition, employers in other regions may be more open to immigrant workers, since they are facing aging populations and shortages.
