>>16255544As a cisgender agnostic Iranian male, I can tell you that I have only seen 2 cisgender Iranian people my entire life say that they prefer Europe over America/Canada and I've never once seen an Iranian person say they want to live in any European country except for France, Spain and Italy (those are the only ones).
America/Canada are both significantly harder to get into because they need visas, and skills/reasons to get in (work/study/relatives) plus America and Canada aren't total welfare states where you are coddled, meanwhile in Europe anybody can just walk in and receive benefits and free stuff easily. Most Iranian people (there are a handful of bad apples) are hard working, employed people with university degrees who like capitalism, and don't expect to be coddled by the state, thus, they move to the Western hemisphere.
In fact, my mother's friend who happens to be a cisgender Iranian woman recently moved here from Sweden and she says it's like night and day. She said she hated that place because it was always cold, most the immigrants were extremely religious Muslims from war zones like Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, etc, the local native Scandimavian people were autistic, anti social introverts and extremely boring to talk to, and everything closed early at night and in winter.
She says she loves California and she always dreamed of moving here. She likes how white Amerimutts are social, friendly extroverted and interesting and how most the immigrants are Latino and Filipino (very great people) and how there's so much to do and so much to see and how the climate resembles our home country.
