Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants come to Canada. They represent a brand new market — a segment that starts buying the moment they arrive.

They will open bank accounts, lease cars, buy furniture, search for real estate and make investments. They represent a latent buying force that was difficult to target until now. With The Canadian Immigrant Magazine, you can reach this core demographic in a publication that they trust.

Shouldn't you be on the forefront of this marketing revolution?

The Canadian Immigrant Magazine is the only medium that reaches this important demographic. Download our media kit or contact Nick Noorani at 604-872-0102 or email him at:

Demographics

Immigrants are well educated.
Immigrants make purchases to start their life.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants come to Canada. Immigration Canada estimates the number at approximately 250,000 per year. Vancouver is the second largest immigration destination.

It was reported in the Vancouver Sun on October 2003, that nearly half of Greater Vancouver's population aged 15 and over was born outside Canada. These new immigrants are changing the economic landscape of Canada. They are comprised of doctors, lawyers, computer engineers and business management graduates.

The Canadian Immigrant Magazine is the only medium that addresses their needs.
