Dream to Settle Down in Canada Most of the people across the world and especially Asians and Africans have a dream to settle in Canada for several reasons. Those several reasons of settling down in Canada range from excellent health system, security, free education, freedom of speech, religion, culture and other related things. Most of the people belonging to Asian and African countries look forward to migrate Canada in order to achieve the aforementioned list of items in their lives. Sometimes, most of them are willing to leave their handsome jobs, good pay scales, already established and organized business setups and close relatives and siblings back home. They sell their available assets and use their savings as well to gather the funds required for the migration to Canada. It is quite true that Canadian citizenship offers you various benefits which we have already mentioned above generally, however, we have enlisted certain other benefits as well for our readers under the below mentioned categories: 1) Free Education Hard to believe, but it’s true that education in Canada is completely free. Yes, don’t get surprised! The education for young students categorized under primary and secondary levels are completely free. The Canadian Government has emphasized greatly on their education system and have well-organized mechanism to ensure children living in Canada are getting proper education freely without any cost. There are certain other extra courses, provided by the schools to the students which are not offered for free and need to be paid by the parents if they wish their children to study or continue those courses. Such courses are for example, painting, arts, sports, music etc. 2) Monthly Allowance for Children Under the Age of 18 Years The Government offers a monthly allowance to the children under the age of 18 years. However, the allowance is only granted after assessment of the family income, if the family income is quite low and the head of the family is jobless or doing job at a lower wage together with certain other specified conditions under the law, the monthly allowance is granted. Those who have migrated to the Canada and got the citizenship and started receiving the monthly allowance for their children under the age of 18 years, they should try to save this money as much as they can because this can be utilized when the child is admitted to the university where the education is not free but quite expensive.
