Is this Heaven? No, it’s Devon. (No, not that Devon) It’s a well-known legend that Canada is a nice place to be. In many ways, that’s true. It has it’s ups and downs like anywhere, but overall, one can travel from right to left, and then from North to South and have a pretty similar experience as you go. One thing is for sure – you will meet people from literally everywhere.
According to Statista, Canada’s appeal as an immigration destination has been increasing over the past two decades, with a total of 468,817 people immigrating to the country between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023. This figure is an increase from 2000-2001, when approximately 252,527 immigrants came to Canada. But, if you do the maths, you’ll see that there’s lots of wide open spaces.
Most have migrated to the standard issue cities, such as Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. But, some hardy people say “I’ll have none of that” and stake their claim in Nunavut. It’s a big ask for anyone.
