The article offers information on the differences in naturalization rates between Canada and the United States. Naturalization rate in Canada is higher than in the United States. More people choose to become citizens than migrants in Canada because of several social factors. Immigrants in Canada enjoy government assistance in adapting to its economy and culture. The migrant's previous nationality is not a factor for racial bias among Canadians. Assistance and better treatment made Canadian immigration a good choice for migrants, unlike in the United States that only few immigrants receive assistance with settlement and naturalization.
