People from around the globe have deemed the Canadian brand one of the best in the world.

The rankings were based on 20,035 online interviews conducted with adults over the age of 18 in 20 countries.

Canada placed first in three of the six individual categories that were used to rank the 50 countries — immigration and investment, people and governance. It was also the only nation in the top five that improved its standing in governance, culture, and tourism.

This is the second year in a row that Canada ranked first for immigration and investment, which considers a country’s power to attract people to live, work or study as well as perceptions of its quality of life and business environment.

The immigration and investment score is based on five “composite attributes” — work and live, quality of life, educational qualifications, invest in business, and equality in society.
