The chart below shows the number of British citizens who emigrated to three countries in three periods of time

The bar chart illustrates how many people emigrated from Britain to

Australia

,

Spain

, and

Canada

in 2000, 2005 and 2010.

Overall

, it is clearly seen that

Australia

was the most popular destination over time, but

while

Canada

took more British

emigrants

than

Spain

in 2000, their positions had reversed by 2010. In fact, all countries saw a general increase, with the exception of

Canada

. It should be

also

noted that 2005 was the year when most people emigrated. Most British citizens chose

Australia

as their place for emigration. The number of

emigrants

to

Australia

, which stood at roughly 45,000 in 2000, rose to 70,000 in 2005 and

then

decreased slightly in 2010 to amount to 60,000.

Likewise

,

Spain

welcomed approximately 15,000 British citizens in 2000 and, following the same pattern as

Australia

,

this

number soared to 50,000 in 2005, but

then

plummeted to 20,000 in 2010.

In contrast

, the number of

emigrants

to

Canada

, which stood at 30,000 in 2000, fell steadily to 20,000 in 2005 and

then

had

dropped to 10,000 by 2010.

As a result

, despite accepting nearly twice as many

emigrants

as

Spain

in 2000,

Canada

ended as the least popular destination in 2010.
