Also, "workers" does not include non-working relations, such as children.

b) Obviously it's too simple. But it demonstrates a significant difference between the two countries' immigration policies and the resulting population. As a percentage, our population is more foreign-born than yours. We accept higher levels of skilled immigration and far higher levels of refugee claimants. The US can certainly point fingers at a number of countries for not doing their share in accepting refugees and other immigrants, but it's hard to criticise Canadian culture as being insular in that regard. Australia and Canada accept far higher levels of immigration than any of the other industrialised countries. Almost a fifth of our country was born outside our borders, and that number is only increasing.
