Canada is once again the most admired country in the world according to a new survey by the Reputation Institute. Canada lost its top rank to Switzerland last year but managed to climb back to the top in 2015 on the strength of its appealing environment.

The Reputation Institute surveyed 48,000 people between February and March in the world's largest countries ranked by GDP.

Canada had a score of 78.1, one point ahead of Norway.

The country scored first for appealing environment, measured by people's perception of having "friendly and welcoming people," a "beautiful country," an "appealing lifestyle" and being an "enjoyable country."

It was ranked fifth on having an advanced economy — after Japan, Germany, Switzerland and Sweden — and fourth for effective government, after Sweden, Norway and Switzerland.

Canada was also the top country to visit, live in, work in and study in.

Tell us something we don't know! LOL For all the complaining we do we really do live in the best place on earth. We have had over 40 international students through our home, a good percentage of them Swiss, and they all tell us how much they love Canada and how much they miss it after they return home.

There are many many nice places to visit, but in the end Canada is all round best, for sure. In our RV travels we have met a number of people who are travelling around the world and they all love Canada.
