Why You Should Live In Canada or Finland?

I know right now relocation is on your mind, there are plenty of countries to choose from. Canada is one of the most popular destinations for migrants and a dream country for every Nigerian citizen. But Finland is one of those Scandinavian countries that is always finishing really high up in the quality of life indices, often finishing near or above Canada. Both of these countries have plenty to offer in terms of starting a new life, but which destination is right for you and your family?

Canada’s population of around 37 million with some 1,000,000 immigrants projected to enter the country this year.

The current population in Finland is around 5.5 million

A rich job market, stable economy, strong educational system, robust public health system, and healthy entrepreneurial environment make Canada a well-rounded destination.

When it comes to Finland, however, happiness, political stability, a good education system, and transparent government practices offer little that Canada does not. Of the few things that Finland does offer over Canada are increased income equality and a better public healthcare system, albeit, not by much.

Finland is about 30 times smaller than Canada.
