2. World Map:
India, China, and the Philippines stand out as the top three countries of origin for immigrants in Canada. These countries contribute a significant number of immigrants, and their citizens are drawn to Canada's robust economy, high standard of living, and inclusive society. The large Indian community in Canada reflects the strong ties between the two countries, while Chinese and Filipino immigrants continue to play a crucial role in Canada's multicultural landscape.
