Canada is very tolerant of new immigrants, and its perfect support system is global

If you have already obtained a work visa, you can enjoy some of the benefits of permanent residence!

But it will be affected by the province, visa type, length of residence, etc.

Medical insurance:

The policies of each province vary greatly, and it mainly depends on where you go;

Emergency medical care: All temporary residents can enjoy emergency services, but they must pay for it themselves and then be reimbursed by insurance.

Children's education benefits:

Public primary and secondary schools are free, university tuition is much lower than that of international students, and you can apply for scholarships;

Some provinces provide childcare fee reductions for low-income work visa families.

Employment-related protection:

Minimum wage protection: equal pay for equal work with local residents, and the minimum wage standards in each province are different;

Unemployment insurance (EI): If you work legally and pay EI premiums, you can apply for EI benefits after becoming unemployed (you must have worked 420-700 hours in the past 52 weeks);

Workers' compensation: You can apply for medical expenses and lost work compensation through the provincial workers' compensation board (such as ON's WSIB).

Tax benefits:

The Canadian government does not impose taxes on overseas assets of new immigrants;

GST/HST consumption tax refund: If a work permit holder becomes a tax resident (living for ≥183 days in a year), he or she can declare taxes and enjoy consumption tax subsidies (up to $456 per person per year);

Work-related tax deductions: Tool purchase expenses, vocational training expenses, cross-city relocation expenses, etc. can be claimed as tax deductions (receipts must be kept).

Community service support:

Low-cost/free language training: The government-funded LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers) and CLIC (French courses) projects provide English/French training for new immigrants, and some courses even provide childcare services.

One-stop settlement service: New immigrant settlement agencies assist in handling social security numbers (SIN), health cards, rentals, school registration and other procedures

Provide free legal advice, psychological counseling and employment guidance;

Employment counseling: Community centers (such as YMCA) provide free resume revision, mock interviews and career planning services (appointments required);

Legal consultation: Some immigration service agencies provide free legal consultation for low-income work permit holders (such as rental disputes and labor rights).
