Answer 1

The accurate comparison of the current immigration policies of the U.S. and Canada is:

Both countries focus on employment as a key path for migration.

Canada has a points-based immigration system that places significant emphasis on employment qualifications, while the U.S. also has various employment-based visa options. The other statements are not accurate. For instance, both countries accept immigrants from Asia, Canada has historically accepted more refugees in certain years, and the U.S. does not necessarily have a larger percentage of foreign-born residents compared to Canada.
