About Ottawa:
Ottawa is the capital of Canada, and the fourth largest city in the country. The city is located on the south bank of the Ottawa River in the eastern portion of Southern Ontario.
Ontario is the first point of entry for more immigrants than any other province, with 40% of newcomers landing in the province. Ottawa’s current population of 870,250 represents a significant increase over the past decade. The city’s growth rate is faster than Ontario’s rate and Canada’s rate as a whole.
Overlooking the Ottawa River, the Parliament Buildings (seen above in the photograph) are a majestic icon of the Canada’s capital city, and visitors can tour the stunning interior. Throughout the year, the lawn in front of the building hosts a variety of festivals.
Meanwhile, the Rideau Canal is one of the oldest landmarks in Ottawa. The canal is filled with boats in the summer and becomes the “World’s Longest Skating Rink” in the winter.
Why Immigrate to Ottawa?
Ottawa is the Ideal Canadian City for New Immigrants
Thanks to a new two-year, $14.9-million province-wide program, new immigrants settling in Ottawa will have more access to services designed to help them fit in and find a job in their new country. More than 80,000 new residents benefit from these settlement services, which represents a 15% increase in funding.
“Ontario’s new government is investing in local programs, which help immigrants succeed and contribute to our economic growth. We all benefit when newcomers integrate into our local communities” – Liberal MPP Yasir Naqvi
