Canadian Immigration: Government of Canada welcoming growing number of Indian visitors, students and immigrants

Chandigarh, September 9, 2010 — Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is helping a growing number of Indians to visit, study in and immigrate to Canada, says Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney.

“For over a century, Canada has benefited from the talent and hard work of newcomers from the subcontinent,” Minister Kenney said. “Some one million Canadians can trace their ancestry to India, and now a growing number of Indians are getting the chance to visit family and friends in Canada, study at Canadian colleges and universities, or indeed immigrate to Canada as permanent residents.”

Last year, India was the top source country of immigration to Canada, with more than 32,000 permanent resident visas issued to Indian nationals, an increase of 13% from the year before, and 53% more than the three-year average from 1997 to 1999.

The United States largest neighbor, Canada, generates a substantial amount of immigration work for our firm. It is not accidental that many companies with offices around the United States also have offices in Canada. As a result, Ryvin Wallace Group works closely with a number of law firms with whom we co-counsel to assist our clients with Canadian immigration matters.
