Canada has risen to the second position on the Anholt-Ipsos Nation Brands Index 2021 for the first time, owing to high rankings in immigration and investment, among other areas. Canada has rounded out the top three for a previous couple of years, finishing in third place. Canada has risen to second place for the first time in NBI 2021. Canada’s record rating in 2021 was aided by first-place ranks in the Governance, People, and Immigration and Investment indices, as well as reasonably stable rankings in Exports, Tourism, and Culture.

The Nation Brands Index assesses the image of countries all across the world. They measured 60 countries this year and based their survey results on 60,000 interviews. In past years, they conducted 20,000 interviews to assess the findings of 50 nations.

The countries were graded in six areas based on their perceived quality: exports, government, culture, people, tourism, investment, and immigration.

Immigrating to Canada for Investing

Canada took the top position in the category of immigration and investment, which assesses how well a country can recruit immigrants, overseas employees, and international students. It also assesses public perceptions of each country’s quality of life and business climate.

So many people immigrate to Canada for investment and business opportunities so we are not surprised that Canada won first place! There are several programs for investing in Canada that are available. Learn more about Canada Investor Programs.

Canada also received high results in governance, which assesses public opinions of the government’s competence and impartiality.

Lawyers here are so kind and sweet and provide so much information in an easy to understand way, especially about visa and obtaining work once in the country. My lawyer was very good and I’m looking forward to having her knowledge in the future for any other immigration needs.

The thought of immigrating was very stressful for me and my family, I felt lost. However, working with VisaPlace was very positive and I recommend them to those who need help with immigration. Their team worked with me very closely and presented to me multiple potential options and explained what the process would look like as well as the timeline. I’m so grateful to their guidance.

I won’t go into detail for privacy, but I was in a very bad situation where almost no lawyer would work with me or even provide me with legal counsel on my case. I was terrified of being removed from the country, but with the help of the professionals at VisaPlace, they were able to help me and I was allowed to stay. The relief I feel is immense. Thank you to the amazing team.

I was frustrated after talking to several different immigration firms. Many just didn’t seem honest or upfront. However, a friend recommended VisaPlace to me, and I am glad they did. I worked with a lady and she was very knowledgeable and explained the process to me. She was so essential for the immigration process. I would definitely go back to her if i needed any further support.

I’d like to be clear that I’m somewhat of a skeptic, especially when it comes to investing time and money into a new venture. I’m originally from the UK but I made the decision to migrate to Canada after meeting my girlfriend online six months ago. I know the process is going to take time, but I wanted legal counsel to make sure I approach the process in the most efficient way possible – I HATE wasting time. My consultation over the phone was informative and eased some of my initial concerns about potential hiccups. The lawyer I worked with was good about getting back to me, although occasionally she couldn’t be reached due to being in court – that was fine, she typically followed up relatively quickly. I’m now well within the process of immigrating and I have appreciated having the legal support.

It was pretty easy to make an appointment with visaplace. I have seen some people complain about the pricing, which is odd because in comparison to other firms, their rates are relatively fair. They were also honest and upfront with the complexities of my case and gave me the option to decide whether or not I wanted to move forward. I did end up moving forward and things have been going according to what we discussed. I am relieved to know there are honest professionals out there who won’t over-promise you things they can’t deliver.
