Why Canada is the best country to live in
If you’ve not been living under a rock for the past few years there is a great chance that you’ve already heard that Canada is an amazing place to live in. But what might not be sure to you are the exact details of what makes Canada such a great place to be at. Isn’t it annoying when people just sing praises without giving you context. So let us shed some light on it so that things would be clearer to you.
Canada is big and beautiful throughout all 9.98 million square kilometres of it. As the second largest country in the world, Canada boasts of endless lakes and rivers. It has access to three oceans, and boast one of the few places in the world you can ski and surf (outside) in the same day. From ice bound arctic tundra and snow sprinkled peaks to sparkling lakes and vast woodlands, Canada can take your breath away at every turn. Every weekend and holiday could be packed with skiing, whale watching, kayaking and hiking around this spectacular wilderness.
In a survey conducted recently, Toronto was named the fourth most attractive city in the world. The annual survey from PwC ranked 30 destinations worldwide considering several factors including education and technology, quality of life, ease of doing business, health and safety, economic clout, and transport. Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Quebec City and Montreal have consistently ranked high in the past world surveys.
Free healthcare, clean and beautiful landscape, and the overall amazing quality of life comes by default with living in Canada.
Oh yes, we did say free healthcare. If you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, you may apply for public health insurance. With it, you don’t have to pay for most of the health-care services. The universal health-care system is paid for through the taxes.
Coming to one of the biggest concern for immigrants while moving to an unknown place- safety- Canada’s low crime rate is envied around the world, particularly amongst its southern neighbours. Violent crime is extremely rare and the gun ownership rate is almost four times lower than the US. This has boosted Canada’s global reputation and in 2014, the OECD Better Life Index awarded Canada what is an immensely impressive 9.7 out of 10 for safety and security. Gun ownership is lower simply because Canadians feel safer. The process of obtaining a license and firearm is also lengthy and stringent, especially when compared to the US.
The citizens are one of the best reasons to look forward to a place like Canada. Canada values education and has long ensured that all young citizens have access to the best schooling available no matter what their background. The government spends more per capita on education than any other country in the world. As a result, Canadian children perform well across the board and stay in education longer than most other countries. This, in turn, has created a well-informed, well behaved and mannered society that is both mature intellectually and accepting in nature.
Canada’s relaxed and liberal reputation is well earned. The country has long been a pioneer of civil rights and was the first country outside Europe to legalised same sex marriage over a decade ago. Canada’s multicultural and diverse spirit is evident in both its forward thinking immigration policy and its zero tolerance approach to hate crimes and racial abuse. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has also named it the best country in the world for acceptance and tolerance of minorities.
Canada has long realised all the benefits that skilled immigrants can bring to their country and, in particular, their economy. Their sensible and fair immigration policy gives anyone truly willing to make a successful life in Canada a great chance of achieving their goals.
