According to the 2018 "Best Countries in the World" rankings released by U.S. News & World Report, Canada has been crowned the "country with the highest quality of life in the world" for three consecutive years. To help people better understand how countries are perceived globally, more than 21,000 respondents were asked to rank 80 countries based on 65 attributes.

 

The 65 attributes include economic influence, power, citizenship rights, and quality of life. These attributes help evaluate whether a country is a successful modern nation. Data shows that the 80 countries participating in this selection met very strict criteria, including being among the top 100 in GDP, top 150 in the Human Development Index, top 100 in foreign direct investment inflows, and top 100 in international tourist arrivals.

 

To determine which countries have the best quality of life, researchers referred to 9 attributes: affordability, quality of the local job market, economic stability, family-friendliness, income equality, political stability, safety, quality of the public education system, and quality of the public health system.

 

The following are the 10 countries with the highest quality of life in the world:

 

1. Canada

2. Denmark

3. Sweden

4. Norway

5. Australia

6. Switzerland

7. Finland

8. Netherlands

9. New Zealand

10. Germany

 

Canada's globally leading attributes include quality of life, citizenship rights, entrepreneurship, and openness to foreign trade. As a high-tech nation, Canadians enjoy a high quality of life. For Canada, the service sector remains the country's largest economic driver. It is worth mentioning that Canada ranks third in the world in the Best Countries for Education ranking, which is still a very impressive achievement. Longevity expert Dan Buettner said in an interview with CNBC that if you want to be happy, changing your environment is more effective than changing your beliefs.

 

Therefore, for those intending to immigrate, Canada is definitely a good choice. As a country with a high global happiness index, Canada attracts people with its abundant tourism resources and high-quality educational resources. Investing in Canadian immigration offers many advantages, such as a passport that ranks fourth in the world; children of immigrants can enjoy top-tier educational resources from elementary to high school for free, and university tuition is charged at local resident rates (approximately one-fifth of that for international students); Canada's livable environment and advanced, comprehensive social welfare system allow families to enjoy an international quality of life, ensuring care for the elderly and support for the young; at the same time, starting a business or investing in Canada allows one to benefit from the preferential policies of a major economic power, enter the world's leading capital market—the North American market—and achieve diversified asset allocation, which can be described as killing many birds with one stone.
