Immigration to Gay-Friendly Canada

Canada has some of the most gay and lesbian friendly immigration laws in the world. Many gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transsexual/transgender singles and couples move to Canada every year to enjoy improved civil rights, benefits, and the protections of a tolerant society. Same-sex marriage is legal in Canada.

There are two primary ways to immigrate to Canada - being sponsored by your Canadian partner or applying to immigrate based on your own merit to obtain permanent resident status. Once you become a Canadian permanent resident (landed immigrant), you could apply for Canadian citizenship in three years.

A third way is to immigrate under Refuge status. Refugees and persons needing protection, are people in or outside Canada, who fear returning to their country of nationality or habitual residence. In keeping with its humanitarian tradition and international obligations, Canada provides protection to thousands of people every year.
