It is the land of maple syrup, the Mounties and... British expats
Those emigrating from the UK have rated Canada as the best country to live in, it has been revealed.
The country was seen as having the best quality of life, is peaceful and has a sound banking system, according to a survey.
Expats also gave high marks to Canada's natural beauty, its healthcare system and its education standards.
New Zealand was second, followed by Australia, France and South Africa.
Of the 1,430 UK expats surveyed by NatWest International Personal Banking, more than half earned between £50,000 and £100,000 a year.
The biggest earners were in Hong Kong where almost half - 47 per cent - of UK expats had annual salaries of more than £100,000.
In contrast, only 5 per cent of those who have moved to Portugal earned in excess of £100,000.
Natwest PIB head Dave Isley said: 'Canada's excellent working conditions, financial security and peaceful reputation have pushed it into this year's pole position.
'It seems the pull of the beautiful Rockies, the Mounties and the marvellous taste of maple syrup is a real sticking point for British expats.'
