>but if I had to choose a country to get ahead in life with the most opportunities possible as an immigrant

The USA is pretty bad (compared to most rich / developed countries) in general at giving opportunities to the broader population. Check the studies on intergenerational mobility to see that the USA ranks pretty badly there. It's not surprising to me given the inequality of the education system and how segregated it is (in terms of social class, parent educational level, etc).

You bring an interesting point though: "as an immigrant". Maybe the USA IS pretty good at giving opportunities to certain kind of immigrants (even if it isn't for the broader population). I haven't seen any study about it, but I'm sure there are analysis.

Care to cite/summarize some of the studies?

The flaw in these social mobility studies is they don't account for absolute incomes.

You can go from the lowest to the 2nd highest quintile in the US and be better off than the lowest to the highest in Canada.
