Crime in Canada
In this article, we have answered the most common questions from our readers.
Crime in Canada has a relatively low level compared to other countries in the world. Compared to the CIS, it is much lower. According to the World Health Organization data for 2016, Canada ranked 65th in the world crime rate ranking. The country also shows a global trend towards a decrease in the number of violent crimes, replaced by economic crimes. People around the world are committing fewer rapes and murders, but more theft and fraud.
Nevertheless, Canadians still commit crimes that poison the lives of citizens and immigrants in the country. In this article, we have gathered answers to the most popular questions from people who want to immigrate to Canada.

There are fewer petty thefts there — most likely, neighbors will not be interested in the package that the mailman left on your porch. But girls better not get into cars with strangers and not leave their drinks unattended in a nightclub. And of course, it is not worth highlighting your way with an expensive smartphone while walking at night in the local ghetto.
The main problem for our immigrants in Canada is the ubiquitous scammers who want to profit from their inexperience. We have released a video about how newcomers are scammed and even recorded an interview with a former criminal.
