The line chart illustrates how many people immigrated to three different nations, namely the USA, Canada, and Australia over a ten-year period, starting from 1991.
Overall, there was a rise in the number of migrants to Australia and Canada, but to varying extents; while the opposite was true for the USA. Despite witnessing a decrease, the majority of people chose the USA to be their destination to settle down over the period examined.
In terms of the most attractive country for immigrants, there were over 1400 thousand people moving to America in 1991, after which it experienced a sharp increase to peak at 1800 thousand people a year later, and then this figure decreased noticeably to 1000 thousand in 1993. From this year onwards, the number of foreigners living in the USA fluctuated and reached 900 thousand in the last year of the period.
Dissimilarly, no significant changes in the figure for Canada and Australia were recorded throughout the period in spite of slightly going up. Specifically, the immigrant number of Canada remained unchanged until 2000, after that, it rose moderately to over 400 thousand people in 2001. A similar trend was seen in that of Australia when the number of migrants to this nation started to witness a minor rise to about 190 thousand people in the last year, after it had stayed stable from 1991 to 1999.
