1. Government-funded health care
2. Subsidized education
3. Unrestricted access to Canadian jobs
4. Unemployment insurance benefits
5. Pension benefits
6. The freedom to live anywhere in Canada

Dissimilar many other countries, the Canadian Government's policies encourage immigration and as such, rather than having an immigration limit, Canada has immigration targets. For example, in 2009 Canada hopes to bring up to 265,000 permanent residents. Immigrants can go to Canada from any country in the world.
