For the fourth time in six years, Canada has come out on top in a survey that tries to determine which country has the best reputation — not that we're the types to brag about it.
The world's perception of Canadians as "friendly and welcoming" people helped us reclaim our No. 1 spot this year on the Reputation Institute's annual ranking of countries by perceived image.
In 2014, Canada came in second to Switzerland, as it did to Sweden in 2010.
That said, we've been at the top of every other reputation list compiled by the global research and advisory firm since it started releasing its annual Country RepTrak report six years ago.
"[Canada is] consistently seen as a great place to live and it wasn't affected significantly by the recession," said the Reptuation Institute's head of research, Brad Hecht, to Forbes this week following the 2015 report's release. "It's also perceived as a good place for tourism."
To find out how the 55 countries with the highest GDPs stacked up against one another in terms of reputation this year, the institute surveyed more than 48,000 people living in G8 countries between February and March using online interviews.
An additional 30,000 people from non-G8 countries with large economies, such as India, China, and Brazil, were also interviewed to gain more data.
The 20 countries with the best reputations, as determined by the survey, were unveiled in a comprehensive report available on the institute's website called The World's View on Countries: An Online Study of the Reputation of 55 Countries.
