If you said Australia you were close but wrong!

Today Canada is the country with the highest per capita immigration rate in the world. This is followed by the United States, and only then by immigration to Australia.

Canada in known throughout the world for having a very loose and broad immigration policy. This policy is witnessed by the ethnic diversity of the population.

The Australian economy is on the verge.Â There are predictions of a population boom for years to come.Â The country saw a 2.1 per cent rise in its population in the year to March, official figures have revealed, the fastest on record and the largest current growth rate of an advanced economy, Reuters reports.

Such a trend could see a 60 per cent population increase in the population over the next four years and chief economist at CommSec James Craig said this would directly impact on the property sector.

He stated: â€œMore people translates to increased spending and demand for homes and as a result, increased momentum for our economy.â€

Such a situation could mean those who buy homes in Australia find the price gradually rising, particularly if the increase in supply fails to keep up with demand.

Australia is also the most popular choice for Britons keen to move abroad to work, a recent survey showed. It is easier to find jobs in Australia.
