The Enhanced Mobility Index carries the most weight (50%) and is based on the travel benefits that each passport gives the holder, while also taking into account the level of “attractiveness” of the destination country based on its quality of life.

Quality of Life Index
The third index covers six main components relating to the quality of life in the country. Other areas were considered, such as healthcare, education, and personal safety. However, it was felt that these were already covered in the selected indicators (such as in the Sustainable Development Goals) or that there were limited reliable sources for the information. The Quality of Living Index is worth 25% of the overall calculation.
The rationale for these weights is that Sustainable Development combines several aspects relevant to the quality of living. The Cost of Living and level of freedom are considered important aspects of the Global Index Methodology. The final three indicators are given less weight as they are not central to the index, but are still relevant as they carry information not found elsewhere.

About
Canada
In this Canada Investor Immigration Permit guide, learn about:
Canada, the second-largest country in the world by land area, spans approximately 9.98 million square kilometers. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, with the Arctic Ocean to the north, bordering the United States to the south and northwest (Alaska).
Canada's geography is vast and varied, including dense forests, numerous lakes and rivers, expansive prairies, and the Rocky Mountains. The country is known for its natural beauty and wildlife, with a significant portion of its land being uninhabited and untouched.
Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with the monarch (currently represented by the Governor General) serving as the head of state and the Prime Minister as the head of government. The country is divided into ten provinces and three territories, each with its own government and powers. Canada's legal system is based on English common law, except for Quebec, which operates under civil law.
With a population of over 38 million people, Canada is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. Its multicultural society is a result of large-scale immigration from many countries. English and French are the official languages, reflecting the country's history and the significant presence of Francophone communities, especially in Quebec.
Ottawa is the capital city, while Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are among the largest and most economically important cities. Toronto Pearson International Airport is the busiest in Canada, facilitating extensive domestic and international travel.
The Canadian economy is highly developed and one of the largest in the world, driven by abundant natural resources, a well-regulated banking system, and a strong manufacturing sector. Major industries include natural resources (especially oil and logging), automotive, aerospace, and technology. Canada's currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD).
The cost of living in Canada varies significantly across the country, with larger cities generally being more expensive. Canadians benefit from a high standard of living, universal healthcare, and a comprehensive social security network. The country ranks high in government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, and economic freedom.
Religiously and culturally, Canada is diverse, with a wide range of ethnic groups and religious affiliations. This diversity is celebrated as a national strength, influencing Canada's food, art, music, and festivals.
Tourism in Canada is fueled by its outdoor activities and natural attractions, including Banff and Jasper National Parks in the Rockies, Niagara Falls, the French and English cultures of Quebec, and the coastal beauty of the Maritime provinces. Canada also boasts several vibrant cities with rich cultural attractions, such as museums, galleries, and theaters.
Canada covers six time zones, from the Pacific Time Zone in the west to the Newfoundland Time Zone in the east. This expanse across latitudes and longitudes contributes to the country's diverse climates and ecosystems, making it a unique place for exploration and residence.
