Canada is one of the best places to live in the world

Canadians are known to be proud of our country, and now we have another bragging right! CS Global Partners released its World Citizenship Report (WCR) on January 12, 2022, and Canada made the top ten on the list of the best places to live in the world!

What is the World Citizenship Report

The World Citizenship Report, per the CS Global Partners website, a survey was developed so that citizens of the world know which countries offer a "fulfilling quality of life and the highest standards of living."

Data collected from around the world over 5 years

The report relies on research collected over five years and presents the data collected in the World Citizenship Index (WCI).

"Key aspects that characterize belonging to a country"

According to the WCR website, the report doesn't only focus on "the traditional concept of valuing a citizenship through the use of an ethical perspective." Instead, it gives "greater importance to the diverse attitudes towards the key aspects that characterize belonging to a country and holding its citizenship status."

Safety, quality of life, financial freedom and more

The best countries are determined through a survey that rates countries based on factors such as quality of life, economic opportunities, global mobility, financial freedom, and safety and security.

Canada is 8th out of 187 jurisdictions

In total, 187 jurisdictions were studied, and Canada came in at 8th place, ahead of the United States (20th), the U.K. (12th), France (16th), and Spain (19th).
