Канада стоит шестой в мире по уровню жизни (считая по GDP per capita), после США, Швейцарии, Люксембурга, Германии, и Японии. Но считая другие факторы: стоимость жизни, образование, уровень преступности и т.д., Канада была выбрана ООН лучшей страной для жизни. В Канаде один из самых низких в мире уровней преступности, особенно в плане преступлений, направленных против здоровья и жизни людей. Общая высокая культура населения и многочисленная, хорошо оснащенная и обученная полиция, которая работает чрезвычайно эффективно, позволяют чувствовать себя в любое время практически в любом месте совершенно безопасно. В городах Канады, таких как Торонто, Монреаль и Ванкувер, можно гулять в полной безопасности по паркам и аллеям в любое время суток. Это связано с тем, что в Канаде города представляют собой однородную массу, так как независимо от дохода вы можете позволить себе жить в том районе, который вам нравится - цены примерно везде одинаковы, т.о. нет "бедных" районов и "гетто" и проблемы преступности не существует.
