It is official; no other place on earth offers you a better quality of life than Canada. It is no surprise then that Canada is rated as a top world destination for migrants for all over the globe looking for a life and future that is stable, safe and progressive.
Late last week the U.S. News and World Report declared Canada as the winner in the Quality of Life segment and third best country overall in their 2019 Best Countries Report. This is the second year in a row that Canada scored better in this department than 65 other countries. Switzerland took the top spot across all categories. Canada’s stronger neighbor to the south, the United States, took the eight spot overall for the second year in a row.
