Canada welcomes you. We even have a startup-specific Visa program [0]. Toronto has a growing tech scene and is one of the most diverse cities in the world. Montreal and Ottawa are wonderful. Waterloo has a booming tech scene, and the university is becoming very well known.

Indian who moved to Canada in 2009 - currently Permanent Resident in Montreal.

If you can save a bit of money, going to university here in such a way that it guarantees you two years of continuous full-time education is the easiest way.

In Québec, we also heavily favor people who speak adequate French, often bending over backwards to award them the provicial nominee certificate, which is the fastest way to PR in Canada.

Also, Montreal a great and burgeoning tech hub.
