Canada continues to be one of the most attractive destinations for Finnish professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and families. But understanding immigration pathways — and choosing the right one — can feel complex. In this webinar, the Canada Finland Chamber of Commerce (CFCC) hosted immigration lawyer Ravi Jain for a practical and high-level discussion on Canadian immigration options relevant to Finnish citizens. During this session, you will learn:

• The main work permit pathways, including employer-supported options

• Study permit routes and post-graduation opportunities

• Business and entrepreneurial immigration programs

• Key considerations before starting an immigration process

• Common mistakes to avoid

• How immigration policies are evolving in Canada

Whether you are considering moving to Canada for career growth, education, entrepreneurship, or family reasons, this session provides clarity and practical direction before engaging in a formal immigration process. The discussion concludes with a live Q&A, addressing real questions from the audience.
