Five Canadian cities ranked among the safest in North America
The latest safety rankings from Numbeo's Current Safety Index by City have placed five Canadian cities among the safest in North America. Quebec City and Burlington lead the pack, with Ottawa, Montreal, and Guelph following closely behind. These rankings are based on crowdsourced data that assesses crime and safety levels.
A recent report from CIC News highlights the significance of these rankings. For individuals considering immigration to Canada, safety and security are crucial factors. As Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) notes, a safe and secure environment is essential for those looking to relocate.

This system, combined with the high safety ranking, makes Quebec an appealing destination for potential immigrants.
