Sydney serves as an important political city and the main processing center of the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. With the lowest temperature recorded from -2 to 0 Celsius Degree, Sydney has the warmest winter in Canada due to the effect of the warm current.

In Sydney, immigrants only account for 5% of the population creating an sole English-speaking environment. Recently, the city has been reported to see significant growth in economies. This may be a huge advantage for international students seeking for immigration in Canada.
