There are absurd amounts of Indians coming here for undergraduate only to fail to find any good job after graduating and having to work a minimum wage life of retail, fast food, Uber, and Doordash while being saddled with dozens of thousands of student debt
Also, I'm not exaggerating when I say literally more than 50% of the Ubers I've ridden in were driven by said Indian international students or adult immigrants who used to be engineers, doctors, nurses, accountants, etc. from all over Asia (Middle East, South, South East) who can't find any job because Canada is infamous for not recognizing foreign certifications/education/credentials
It's disgusting how ready people are to exploit their vulnerability too. Colleges and universities make most of their money by tricking promising international families a degree for only triple the amount they charge domestically and there's a cottage industry of slum lords and business tyrants ready to prey on the students because they don't speak english and don't know their rights. There was a house in a suburb of Toronto where they found 25 students living!
This map is totally fake, it says "according to Google search data". Google searches are not a replacement for an actual poll. They're literally worthless.
Do they always google it in English? Did the person who made this consider other languages? Or other phrasings? Or how Google search stats are calculated? Or reasons why someone wouldn't Google that? Or access to the internet based on location, class, etc? Or whether someone would even type that in if they knew they will never be able to leave where they're at or never able to get a visa? I want to know if the Google searches from any given country are representative of the population, or if it's the most labor aristocratic demographics of every country, people who are inculcated with western propaganda and want to be able to make more money by moving to a western country, for example.
Cringe Norwegians actually wanting to move to the USA.
It's funny how US Americans think everyone wants to move here but with so many countries saying "Canada" and not "USA", it's pretty clear to me everyone knows the US sucks and is racist af; and while Canada might be much better at least folks know it's more welcoming.
From my experience growing up in Canada and talking to foreigners, we're not more welcoming or less racist but there are definitely less hate crimes and shootings

If the answers to the survey skew more educated, it might be that Canada is a much easier immigration target for people with degrees. There's a long processing period, but if you have training in certain fields Canada gives an automatic permenant residency with a 5 year path to citizenship, the best you can do with the US is get an employer to sponsor a temporary visa, lol. I dont think we can seperate a much gentler immigration system from the responses. Honestly for people the points system applies to, they'd probably make double the wage in the US, and the employer would provide healthcare, but good luck finding an employer willing to sponsor a visa.

Canada must feel pretty good about that map
It's very depressing

I think it's somewhat accurate
Why would anybody Google "how to move to <X> if they're not interested in moving to <X>?

As we all know, Google is the only search engine, used around the world, always in English

Right, maybe there's the perception that Canada is more welcoming, while in fact that may not be reality?

Classic Denmark wanting Norway though.
And what's up with Icelanders wanting to go to Denmark? I thought they kinda disliked Danes?
I mean, I guess Icelanders are sort of Danes
It's also much harder to get a US visa. Especially as an Indian
