The inaugural PSS National UK Emigration Survey with both Australia and New Zealand being voted the country that British people most want to move to.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, English speaking countries dominated the top 5 places with Canada third, Spain fourth and the USA pushed into fifth.

Many European countries make up the rest of the league table. In all 14 countries who are members of the EU or European Economic Area (EEA) are in the top 25 which may pose problems for British migrants following Brexit.

Liam Witham, Managing Director of PSS International Removals, said, “It was not a big surprise to see Australia and New Zealand at the top of the list but we were surprised to see a draw. We help thousands of families relocate and in recent years the relaxed, family friendly culture that’s found Down Under has really appealed. The lifestyle of these two countries is exactly what families are seeking in the 21st century.

“It was also interesting to see how the aspirations revealed in the survey differ from economic reality. For example, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates are two of the most popular destinations for UK international removals thanks to the booming economies but neither rated highly.”

Given the choice, Brits are most likely to choose Australia or New Zealand as the destination where they would like to start a new life, results of a new survey show. The two commonwealth countries were jointly voted as the dream countries to migrate to in the PSS National UK Emigration Survey conducted by PSS International Removals.

Unsurprisingly, English-speaking countries dominated the top five, with Canada taking third place and the USA bagging the fifth spot despite recent controversies. Thanks to its appealing climate and accessibility from the UK, Spain was deemed fourth in spite of the language barrier. European countries continued to make up the rest of the top ten with France, Italy, Cyprus, Portugal, and Greece all earning a significant portion of votes.
