Canada is the most multicultural country in the world, and our quality of life is the envy of many nations across the globe.

More than 12% of our population is born outside our borders. English and French are the country’s two official languages, but 200 other languages are well represented here, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Italian, German, Punjabi, Spanish, Arabic, Tagalog, Portuguese and Creole.

Canadians enjoy universal, government-funded health care system, income security, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Charter guarantees our liberty of expression and of religion, our rights to equality and to a free education.

The results are conclusive!
Among G8 countries, Canada ranks 1st:

• on the Human Development Index
• on the Quality of Life Index
• as a country where you can live and do business in safety
• as a country with a fair justice system
• for equal access to opportunities

Canada also comes in second on the Global Peace Index. Out of the 60 countries evaluated, we also have the highest investment and immigration index, making Canada a great place to live, work, study and invest.
