Which would be easier to immigrate to between developed countries vs. developing countries?
It seems developed parts of the world have stringent entry requirements and are nearly impossible to get residency/citizenship compared to developing nations.
Canada, NZ, and AU are the only countries giving away residencies to people with not too hard to get qualifications. They are historically immigrant countries, and can afford to increase their populations - unlike USA, which has too many permanent residents on welfare already.
Plus some special cases, like Israel's open door policy for Jews, and US Green Card lottery.
Developing countries on the other hand don't have to be afraid of hordes of foreigners. Sometimes it happens, though, like in Venezuela.
It all depends on what you have to offer. If you have a skill, trade or profession that country X is short of then they will consider you. Otherwise not.

Almost all developed countries will only offer you a temporary residence (work visa), which is absolutely not the same as the permanent residence or citizenship.

Though I'm sure after a while they would grant you permanent residence, especially after several years? In my case since I'm Latin American (therefore already 95% assimilated automatically), I hardly see why Costa Rica would deny me permanent residence if I lived there with a temporary work permit and got it renewed over and over again.

Canada is NOT that easy to get into anymore..although its easier than the US
Virtually all developed countries are difficult to immigrate to.
The vast majority of developing countries are also just as difficult.
