Choosing a province/territory and program to migrate to Canada from Indonesia
Indonesian citizens who want to immigrate to Canada must first look for the best place to live here for them. Canada is made up of 13 provinces and territories, each with their own distinct characteristics, related to job prospects, economies, standards of living, and climates.
The simplest way to decide on a province or territory for those who want to move to Canada from Indonesia is to choose based on the existing immigration programs. The Provincial Nominee Program is one of the most appealing and is developed by the federal government in association with several local governments.
