More reasons to be proud of Canada! According to this Expat Experience Report 2009 by HSBC Bank International, Canada ranks #1 in terms of ranking by expats. As the surveys says, Canada “scored well across all categories, with ‘making expat friends’ the only category where it was ranked outside of the top ten. It scored in the top three for setting up utilities, making local friends and joining community groups.”
To be fair to other places like the UK, Canadian accomodation tends to be newer. And Canadians — most people, actually — likely work less than those in places like Hong Kong. Needless the say, the UK, the US, HK, and many of the other places are great places to live or move to for all sorts of reasons.
That said, I was still delighted (but not surprised) that Canada came in first. Now if it only didn’t get dark so early in the wintertime. 🙂
Check out the report: it fairly comprehensive.
