Ranked 7th in the world for work-life balance in 2025, Canada continues to prove why it’s a dream destination ,especially for professionals and families in the Indian community who have made Calgary their home.
Why Work-Life Balance Matters (Especially in a City Like Calgary)
Let’s face it ,moving to a new country comes with big decisions. And for many Indian immigrants and newcomers, Canada’s emphasis on work-life balance, healthcare, and family-friendly culture is a major draw. But what makes Calgary such a standout city for this balance?
Here’s the thing: Calgary offers the best of both worlds ,thriving job opportunities and a lifestyle that allows you to enjoy your evenings, weekends, and time with loved ones.

Did you know? Calgary has one of the youngest and most diverse populations in Canada, with a growing Indian community that’s actively shaping the city’s cultural and professional landscape.
Canada’s 2025 Ranking: What Went Into It?
Canada’s ranking is based on multiple factors including:
- Average working hours (Canadians work fewer hours than the OECD average)
- Paid vacation days
- Parental leave policies
- Mental health and wellness support
These policies don’t just exist on paper ,they’re part of the workplace culture, especially in progressive cities like Calgary. Local employers increasingly offer flexibility, hybrid work options, and employee wellness programs that help people live fuller, less stressful lives.
