From late April to mid-May each year, visitors from around the world flock to Canada for the cherry blossom festival, one of the largest cherry blossom festivals in the world. The atmosphere across Canada’s provinces is livelier than ever: under clear blue skies, thousands of cherry trees burst into bloom together, creating a magical, one-of-a-kind scene straight out of a fairy tale.
Tens of thousands of visitors travel to Canada for a spectacular cherry blossom season
Tens of thousands of visitors from around the world were expected in Canada between mid-April and the end of May to see the cherry blossoms. Along streets in provinces across Canada, rows of cherry trees burst into pink and white bloom.
By late April, parks everywhere are awash in blossoms. Strolling through a park or along city streets, visitors are struck by the beauty of rows of trees that meet overhead to form a stunning flower canopy. Late-spring weather in Canada is cool and pleasant, and the clear blue skies lift everyone’s spirits, inviting them to slow down and take in the scenery.
Canada is a peaceful and prosperous destination
Many people picture Canada as a remote, dull place with a harsh climate that stays cold all year. Yet it is regarded as one of the countries with the best quality of life in the world, with rare natural beauty and dramatic landscapes.
In 2023, Canada ranked 2nd out of 87 countries in the U.S. News Best Countries rankings, up 1 place from 2022, and it has held a top-3 position for nearly a decade. The rankings are based on criteria such as quality of life, culture, adventure, business environment, and growth potential. Beyond the overall ranking, Canada also ranks highly among the world’s best countries in 3 other key categories:
- The 2nd best country in the world to start a career.
- The 3rd best country in the world for quality of life.
- The 4th best country in the world for education.
Business immigration to Canada: opening the door to a brighter future
Canada has long maintained policies and programs to attract talent from around the world to launch start-ups, run businesses, and build a life in Canada. Two popular Canadian business immigration programs that drew strong investor interest at the time of writing were the Start-up Visa (SUV) and the Prince Edward Island (PEI) provincial entrepreneur stream.
At the time of writing (May 2024), the Canada Start-up Visa was the only business immigration program that allowed entrepreneurs to apply directly for Canadian permanent residence for the whole family (spouse and dependent children under 22), without first going through a temporary residence stage. The program was designed to attract talented entrepreneurs to settle in Canada and grow their start-up business ideas. IMM Group’s Canada SUV advisory package started from approximately US$166,000, with an experienced team working alongside clients to help them meet the program’s most demanding requirement: developing and executing a start-up business idea.

The PEI provincial entrepreneur stream (officially the PEI PNP Business Impact Category – Work Permit Stream) is one of the most straightforward business immigration programs in Canada. It is designed for business owners and senior managers who will establish or acquire, and then operate, a business in Prince Edward Island. Investors can operate a business in most sectors. The minimum investment amount is C$150,000 (approximately US$105,000), along with basic requirements for age, net worth, management experience, and English proficiency.
