Canada Immigration: Indians Are Immigrating At An Extraordinary Rate

03 Feb 2020

Driven by more restrictive policies of immigration below the current US presidential administration and the challenge of getting green cards in the USA, the number of Indians receiving Canada PR has been multiplied since 2016. Given modern trends, Indian engineers and scientists will likely remain to see Canada as an engaging alternative place to make their careers and to raise a family.

Indians are Preferring Canada over USA

The number of Indians who received Canada PR increased from 39,340 in the year 2016 to 80,685 in the year 2019, through the initial 11 months of 2019, an improvement of more than 105 percent, as per the National Foundation for American Policy (N.F.A.P) analysis of Refugees, Immigration, and Citizenship Canada data. A complete year Canadian statistics will likely to show higher than 85,000 Indian newcomers in 2019.

In the USA, the rejection rate for H-1B appeals for proceeding employment (principally for existing employees) is 12 percent under the US presidential administration, 4 times higher than the rejection rate of 3 percent in FY 2015. For new workers on H-1B petitions, the rejection rate was 24 percent through the initial three quarters of FY 2019, related to 6 percent in FY 2015.

Due to the less number of employment-based immigrant visas (green cards) and the per nation limit, Indian born professionals might require to wait decades before receiving PR in the United States.

Several U.S. & Indian tech firms have opened subsidiary offices in Canada. The government of Canada, for its part, has streamlined its process of work permit for tech workers and grants a clear path to PR.

Indian citizens are ideally suited to the Canadian points-based selection system, which puts a high value on youth, post-secondary education, and work experience in Canada. High-level English language abilities are needed to qualify for Canada PR under the Federal Express Entry system.
