Immigration in Markham: What You Need to Know
Markham recorded a population of 338,503 in the 2021 Census, with approximately 60% of residents born outside Canada, per Statistics Canada. That places Markham among the most foreign-born cities in Canada by share.
The largest immigrant communities in Markham are from China, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, and India, with substantial Iranian and South Asian populations as well. Cantonese and Mandarin are widely spoken in neighbourhoods such as Unionville, Pacific Mall area, and Cathedraltown.
Markham is the corporate headquarters of IBM Canada, and major tech and telecommunications employers including AMD, Huawei Canada, and Honeywell maintain offices in the city. The Markham Centre and Highway 404 corridor host significant office and R&D space. These employers regularly use intra-company transfers, LMIA-supported work permits, and Express Entry-aligned hiring.
Seneca Polytechnic's Markham campus, along with York University's nearby Keele campus, draws international students who often pursue Post-Graduation Work Permits. Many later qualify for permanent residence through the Canadian Experience Class
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) plays a meaningful role for Markham tech professionals. Its Employer Job Offer streams and Human Capital Priorities stream regularly draw from candidates working in Markham's IT sector.
Immigration Services for Markham Residents
Markham's tech base, established Chinese-speaking community, and family reunification needs put specific programs at the front of our caseload. We lead with the services most commonly requested by local clients.
Express Entry. The Express Entry system covers the Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trades programs. IRCC's category-based draws since 2023 have favoured STEM occupations, healthcare, and trades, per IRCC. Many Markham IT professionals fit STEM categories.
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). OINP includes Employer Job Offer streams (Foreign Worker, International Student, In-Demand Skills) and the Human Capital Priorities stream that draws from the Express Entry pool. A provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points. We assess which stream fits your situation and prepare the application.
Work Permits and Intra-Company Transfers. Markham's multinational employers regularly transfer staff under the International Mobility Program. We prepare ICT work permit applications, LMIA-based permits, and CUSMA permits for U.S. and Mexican professionals.
Spousal Sponsorship. Many Markham residents sponsor partners from Hong Kong, mainland China, Sri Lanka, India, and Iran. Spousal sponsorship involves coordinated sponsor and applicant filings. Inland processing was approximately 12 months as of early 2025, per IRCC.
Study Permits and PGWPs. International students at Seneca Markham, York, or other Designated Learning Institutions need a valid study permit and may apply for a PGWP after graduation.
Document Services. Established residents often need PR card renewal, citizenship applications, notary services, or apostille services.
