If you count the vast uninhabitable stretches of jagged cliffs and mountains on the half frozen peninsula that is Norway, then yes, population density is low. If you consider only like 3% is farmable land and 25% of the population live in one city, the picture changes a bit.

Sosial welfare oriented policies makes coming in harder. Education is free meaning the workforce is highly educated. So its hard to compete. High wages causing housing to be expensive because loans are affordable. Strict laborlaws compounds this making jobs more secure making loans less risky and low interest. Everything is highly regulated, immigration being no exception.
