Canadian cities have once again proven their mettle as the best destination for immigrants, as three of the cities have been ranked among the top 10 on the Global Liveability Index. The index was formulated to include cities that are the most liveable based on factors such as stability, culture, healthcare, infrastructure, and education. The Canadian cities selected are Calgary, which was voted as the fifth most comfortable city in the world, while the cities of Vancouver and Toronto came in at the same position as last year. A total of 140 cities across the world were reviewed and given a liveability score which was based on both qualitative and quantitative factors. The factors that were considered were.

1. Stability: This category looked at the incidence of crime, likelihood of political unrest, or terror attacks to the residents of the cities.
2. Healthcare: This category looked at the quality and availability of public as well as private health care options at affordable costs to the residents of the cities.
3. Culture and Environment: This category focused on the overall climate and culture of the cities to take a view on the ease with which international immigrants could ease into the culture.
4. Education: This category focussed on the quality of private and public education at affordable cost.
5. Infrastructure: The infrastructure category considered the housing, roadways, railways and other infrastructure components of the cities.

The cities were given a rating ranging from 1 to 100 for each category. A score of 1 indicated that conditions were abysmal where as a score of 100 would indicate that conditions were perfect.
