It is a country rich with natural resources & yet so few ppl; why do you think ppl did not migrate there?
I am not sure why people did not migrate there a long time ago, but now it looks like everybody wants to migrate to Canada from all over the world. There are people waiting for years to migrate to Canada and before Canada started the new selection criteria, there were more than 10 million people waiting for visas in all the Canadian visa posts around the world. I am not sure about the exact number, but it was in millions. Canada might have done something good in recent past to attract that many people.
