I'm guessing the type of immigration each country receives is very different.

e.g. some examples from this list (% immigrant population): - Qatar (76%) - Australia (30%) - Canada (23%) - Belgium (20%) - USA (15.2%) - Denmark (14.2%)

The USA has the highest total number of immigrants but many other countries are higher on a percentage basis.

Can you elaborate on your comment?

What makes Canada's immigration policy sensible in your mind?

I find that comment confusing because dissatisfaction with our immigration policy was a huge part of our recent election. It almost brought down the Liberal government.
