Why do certain countries immigrate to England and others here?

Is this true or not, and if it is, how much do I need to have with me?
Do you think that Canada immigration favours people from certain countries and discriminates others?
I was born in Canada, but I ve heard from friends and classmates that immigration Canada discriminates. For example, someone coming from Nigeria would usually have a much harder time coming here than someone from China. Im just curious to hear people’s experiences or their opinions on this.
