Wilma had a dream to come to Canada for a very long time.
She heard that Ron Burke, the Founder of OMNI College, would be visiting Kerala, India, to conduct an information session for nurses in India. Although she lived in a different city and could not attend in–person, she really wanted to meet with Ron and thus arranged a Skype meeting.
Saleena is a nurse from India who is now a Canadian Registered Nurse! Saleena has already secured a full-time position in the province of New Brunswick.
In just 15 months she obtained her RN registration, secured a full-time job in Acute Care AND has been able to have her family join her in Canada.
After graduating in India in 2006, nursing was not regarded as a respected profession. Amandeep wanted to have the opportunity to make a difference.
She felt that she needed to get out of India as she didn’t feel that staying would ever give her that opportunity. Since Amandeep came to Canada, all of her dreams have come true. She describes her journey as a “rebirth”.

Canada is well known for its quality of life but also for its value of relaxation and downtime. The convenience of living in a modern, stylish and clean city, while being able to enjoy the great outdoors so close to home is something treasured by Canadians.
Canada also has a reputation for being one of the friendliest countries in the world. Immigrants are welcomed and those who visit or stay, love the diverse culture and overall politeness of people.

The country is made up of many different cultures, which makes Canada have a vibrant cultural mix of people. This diversity comes from centuries of immigration and is now a distinctive feature of Canadian society. The government values this diversity and tries to protect the cultural heritage of its citizens through the Canadian Multiculturalism Act. Where Canadians are encouraged to take pride in their language, religion, and heritage, and to keep their customs and traditions, as long as they do not break any Canadian laws.
Canada offers free basic healthcare to all of its residents and citizens. It’s based on need rather than ability to pay, and it’s funded by Canadians through taxes. Although each province and territory has its health plan, in general you won’t have to pay for most health care services and any emergency medical services.
Although crime exists everywhere, Canada is considered one of the safest countries in the world. In general, the people in Canada are law abiding citizens. The benefits of living in Canada are great and can change your life completely. Numerous studies have continuously positioned Canada among the top countries to live in. This is mainly due to the universal health care system, low crime rates and overall quality of life. No matter where you decide to live in Canada, your quality and standard of living will be exceptional.
Known for being an open-minded society, Canada is widely known for welcoming people no matter their race, gender or culture. The freedom its citizens have to choose who to love, what to believe in, lifestyle decisions, entertainment choices and so much more – are just some of the reasons why Canada is unquestionably a great country.
