Analysis of US vs. Canadian Immigration Policies
 

In recent years, the number of people immigrating to Canada has continued to rise. The main reasons are Canada's national appeal, such as its numerous prestigious educational institutions, world-class living environment, high quality of life, large Chinese community, and English as the primary language.
