Come to Canada Wizard a continued success

The Come to Canada Wizard, which helps people determine if they are eligible to come to Canada, has recorded over 200,000 visits since being launched this summer.

“By helping potential immigrants and visitors to understand the immigration process, this tool is reducing their dependence on immigration consultants,” said Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney.

Drawing over 100,000 visitors a month, the Come to Canada tool presents users with a series of questions and, based on their answers, matches them with the federal immigration option that best suits their specific circumstances.

It then leads them to a page that breaks down the application steps and provides instructions and forms.

Based on comments from users, over 90 per cent have found Come to Canada to be user friendly and almost the same number say they would recommend the tool to someone they know.
