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.

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%)
