If ya gotta live abroad, ya wanna live in Canada.

The don of social media, Guy Kawasaki, just tweeted a Holy Kaw blog post about the HSBC Expat Experience Survey that names Canada as the best place in the world to be an expat:

“Expats in Canada reported the highest overall increase in their quality of life since arriving in the chilly country. The survey polled more than 3,000 expats around the world. Canada was also number one in quality of accommodation, with 68 per cent of expats reporting that their homes were better in Canada than in their native country.

“What’s more is that Canada received high scores in how easy it was for the surveyed expats to make friends, pursue hobbies, and provide a better environment for their families. Other notable findings include the fact that more than two-thirds of Canadian expats own property in the country, and that nearly 40 per cent said that their health improved since their arrival.”

Oh Canada. That’s quite the welcome mat you put out.

(Any expats out there who care to comment?)
