A Europe-wide immigration study has included Canada for the first time in it’s Migrant Integration Policy Index.
Canada placed 5th equal with Finland out of 28 countries. Sweden, Portugal, Belgium and The Netherlands were placed ahead of Canada.
Jack Jedwab, executive director of the Montreal-based Association for Canadian Studies said the findings “reaffirm we are a nation that’s open to diversity, and set a high standard in a world where it is increasingly important to be sensitive to immigrants”.
Canada ranked first among all nations in several categories - including openness to dual citizenship, a major draw for some immigrants. Canada scored well in a category that credits a nation’s willingness to reunite separated families through immigration. Canada’s anti-discrimination policies, embodied in state institutions that promote equality and immigrant access to human rights protection, boosted Canada’s ranking, as well.
