There are numerous reasons for moving to Canada vs. the U.S.A. or any other country, not the least of which is socialised healthcare, a 22% GDP vs. America’s 52% GDP (Government Debt Percentage), lower unemployment rates, cleaner air, and a relatively high standard of education.
Canada has been mocked for years as the red headed stepchild of North America. The country has been ridiculed for being a socialised European culture on American’s turf, but what most people don’t realize is that while the West has been squandering their resources and burying their citizens in debt and tarnished reputations, Canada has been quietly polishing her decks and raising sail. And while the Titanic-sized fiasco of Western poor management plagues the “great” nations of the past few decades and pulls them under the waves of financial crisis, Canada appears to be sailing on into the horizon with a strong wind at her back.
It’s not just about the scenery, or the amazingly fresh, clean air. Or the quiet, peaceful serenity of the Yukon, the heavily forested slopes of the mountains, or the idyllic lakes surrounded by lush evergreens and vibrant wildlife. Canada is stable. Her economy is rising. And people are flocking to her shores with hopes of becoming part of this quiet giant of a nation that is rising from the rubble like some beacon of hope shining brightly through the gloom that has overtaken most of the world in recent years.
A stable economy, plentiful jobs, amazing scenery, relatively untouched landscapes, and socialised healthcare – what more could you ask for?
