Government of Ontario


About half of the newcomers who immigrate to Canada each year choose to settle in Ontario. The province is home to people from more than 200 different ethnic origins and languages.

Ontario is actively looking to attract highly skilled workers and their families, support diverse communities and ensure Ontario companies are connected to the global economy.

The Ontario Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade:
  • provides services for successful economic and social integration of newcomers, which maximizes the benefits of immigration
  • promotes greater social inclusion, civic and community engagement and recognition among all Ontarians.

There are programs and services available from the Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade to help you get settled and begin your new life in our province. These include:
