“Canada” Best Rated Country For Welcoming Immigrants

Canada scored the highest score, 8.46, indicating Canadians are the most welcoming people in the world when it comes to immigration. “Until the pandemic forced Canada to slow immigration to a trickle, the country was poised to admit more than one million permanent residents between 2019 and 2021, with targets increasing every year”. Canadian Minister Justin Trudeau has further opened Canada’s doors to immigrants. Canada and its southern neighbor each have long histories as countries welcoming immigrants. 

This is the first time Canada has been the number one-ranked country on the MAI. In the last such worldwide poll conducted in 2016 and 2017, Canada came in fourth place, behind Iceland, New Zealand, and Rwanda.
