New Zealand remains one of the most popular destinations for relocation and an obvious second to applicants either not keen on, or failing to make it into, Australia. This by no means makes NZ a lesser choice. For many people who have made the successful migration there, NZ offers a tranquil and neighbourly environment wherein to raise a family.
About 4.5 million people live and work in New Zealand, spread across the industrial North and agricultural South Islands. Renowned for its sheep farming, some 54 million sheep are kept, ensuring low domestic prices for mutton! NZ contributes a staggering 16% of the global specialized agricultural product and its temperate climate and breathtaking topography have spawned an unlikely industry in supporting motion pictures with specialized locations and backdrops (think Lord of The Rings).
Canada is a country of immigrants. 18.4 % of the population of Canada was born in another country.
By far the "most popular"destination for immigrants to Canada is the provinces of Ontario, and British Columbia, each having an immigrant population of over 26 %.
These numbers are based on the 2001 statistics as supplied by Statistics Canada.
Australia is a popular destination for South Africans looking to relocate, mainly due to the similarities in culture and climate between the two countries. At present, approximately 19 million people live and work in Australia, situated predominantly along the south and eastern coastlines. It was recently determined that about 60,000 South Africans live in Perth, approximately one tenth the city’s population.

sorry, but the first response gave you the wrong answer for the wrong reasons! if you want to look at the immigration trends, the best way to follow them --look first and foremost at the land size of the country vs. their population (in mind Canada and Australia -- of course there are other countries too) but this will give you the trend -- since those countries need to replenish their human stock, so to speak. Canada, for example with an aging population and immense land size --and the fact of birth rates (of the original population going downward in the 60's, 70's etc.) had to open up its immigration. So did some other countries. Moral of the story -- look at immigration trends and size and present population. Sooner or later immigration laws have to change. as for already populated areas such as France and other European countries -- make them your last choice. good look and hope it helps.
