There are many cultural and societal differences between the two countries. So, newcomers need to learn what to expect upon your arrival. The more you know about Canada and what to expect, the easier your transition will be. We\u2019ve identified the top things you can expect when moving to Canada from India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-canada-is-immigration-friendly\">Canada is Immigration Friendly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The country is actively seeking immigrants to call Canada home.
