Is It Really That Hard to Immigrate to Canada?

“It’s hard.”

That’s one of the phrases we’ve been seeing most often in recent months in groups, forums, and online comments when the topic is immigration to Canada.

But is it really that Canada has become more difficult? Or has the way people approach the process changed?

Has Canada Changed?

After the pandemic, the entire world changed. The economy, interest rates, inflation — all of that affected not only Brazil but also countries like Canada.

On top of that, immigration processes have become more well-known. Today, anyone interested in immigrating has access to much more information: videos, vlogs, social media content, and stories from those already living here.

This brought something positive: more people are empowered, with better knowledge of rules, programs, and pathways to immigrate. But it also brought a consequence: the realization that the process isn’t as “magical” as it was portrayed in recent years by influencers and content creators.

It Was Never Easy — and It Never Will Be

Let’s be real: immigrating to Canada has never been easy. It has never been a process that “just falls from the sky” or happens overnight. It has always required:

• Planning

• Strategy

• Investment in studies

• Dedication to language learning

• Emotional resilience to face challenges

Those who came here believing in the myth of a “quick and guaranteed PR” often ended up disappointed. But those who came with their feet on the ground, clear goals, and solid preparation are the ones reaping the rewards today.

Canada Is Still an Incredible Opportunity

A quick scroll through online comments is enough to remind us of the thousands of reasons why so many families still choose Canada: safety, quality of life, education, career opportunities, a future for their children, and stability.

That’s why, even with challenges, Canada remains one of the most desired destinations in the world for immigration.

Be Careful With Extremes

The mistake is falling into either of the two extremes:

• The “perfect Canada, no flaws” myth sold by vlogs in the past.

• Or the “Canada isn’t the same anymore” narrative circulating now.

The truth lies in the middle. It’s not impossible, but it’s not easy either. It’s a process that requires preparation, knowledge, and, above all, professional guidance.

How to Truly Prepare

You can read a lot about immigration, watch videos, and gather information in groups — and that’s great. But remember: that doesn’t replace the expertise of a regulated consultant who knows in detail the more than 100 different programs and pathways available to build a life in Canada.
