Three-quarters of Canadians want to be able to move and work freely between four Commonwealth countries, a new poll says. The poll, which was conducted by the Royal Commonwealth Society, looked at public opinion on free labour mobility between the nations, which include the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand as well as Canada.

But it didn’t offer a solution to how the policies would look, only specifying that it would be like the European Union’s current agreement with Britain, which gives Brits the right to live and work in the EU, and allows Europeans to live and work in the UK. The United Kingdom is currently in the midst of a debate on whether or not to remain a member of the EU. While 75 per cent of Canadians were in favour of the idea, only 58 per cent of Brits agreed.

New Zealanders were the most supportive with 90 per cent of the population agreed with the concept. In Australia, 70 per cent were in favour of the idea.
