Amongst all the emerging destinations Canada has been the most promising with liberal immigration policies. Canada welcomes immigration with open arms, and Canadians generally view both immigrants and their country’s immigration system more positively than their counterparts in the United States. This is due in part to the Canadian government’s efforts to promote and embrace a policy of multiculturalism and make diversity part of the national identity. Canada welcomed roughly 340,000 new permanent residents in 2019, the highest number in more than a century.

Beyond being multicultural, Canada is known for its diversity and inclusivity in other ways. The country has strong support for the LGBTQ community. In 2005, Canada became the 4th nation in the world to legalize same-sex marriage and the first outside of Europe.

Though Canada has always been a country that welcomes immigrants, America’s recent approach to immigration has led more immigrants to turn to Canada as a viable alternative for starting a new life.This has put Canada on the world stage as an alternative place to seek out the so-called American Dream.
