The new edition of the Expat Insider study, one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive surveys on life abroad, has a ranking list of the best and worst destinations in the world for expats in 2019.
Canada ranked No. 1 among G7 countries:

In order to tally these results, five major factors were surveyed: Quality of Life, Ease of Settling In, Personal Finance and Cost of Living, Working Abroad, and Family Life. Canada particularly set itself apart in three of these five criteria:
Best Family Life
Canada ranks No. 1 among G7 countries by achieving high scores in the six sub-factors: Availability of Childcare and Education, Costs of Childcare and Education, Quality of Education, and Family Well-Being.
Best Ease of Settling In
Canada gets the highest marks among G7 nations due to the following factors: Feeling at Home, Friendliness, Finding Friends, and Language.
