If you’re looking to sell overseas candidates on the Great White North, the following may help convince potential employees:
•Canada is safe for you and your family — there is very little crime as compared with other Western countries.
•Canada boasts an excellent education system, which includes free elementary and high school education, and heavily subsidized university and technical college education. Some of the world’s best universities are to be found in Canada.
•Canadians live a healthy lifestyle that includes a lot of outdoor recreational activities, such as jogging, cycling, skiing and boating.
•Canada has one of the best health-care systems in the world, and it is fully subsidized by the government except for dental care and the cost of prescription drugs, both of which are often covered by employers’ own supplementary health plans.
•Canadians are prosperous: 60 per cent own their homes; virtually every household has a telephone, a cable connection and one or more television sets in addition to one or more automobiles. Almost half of all households own personal computers.
•Canada is environmentally cleaner than most other countries.
•Canada and Canadians are well respected around the globe for their peacekeeping role.
•Canada is a multicultural society, and people of different ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to preserve and promote their cultures. The Government of Canada has set up a Department of Multiculturalism to promote cultural harmony among its citizens.
•Canada has a very liberal immigration policy and is aggressively seeking 225,000 new immigrants in 2000.
•Canadians, in general, pay slightly higher taxes than their American neighbours, but as a recent New York-based Standard & Poor’s report points out, any higher taxes are offset by the benefits derived from state-subsidized education and health-care systems in Canada.
