Canada remains major destination for migrants

A new report from the Century Initiative, a national, non-partisan charity advocating for the benefits of increasing Canada’s population to 100 million people by 2100, suggests that Canada’s level of support for immigrants is unique in the world.

The report states that Canada’s overwhelming support for immigration is due to Canadians’ increasing multicultural identity and a quarter of its total population being made up of immigrants.

The report highlights that maintaining favourable conditions for newcomers is crucial for Canada’s immigration strategy, given that the country hopes to welcome 500,000 new immigrants per year by 2025.

The report identifies four possible emerging risks that could negatively impact immigration, including access to affordable housing, public infrastructure and services, economic challenges, and political rhetoric. The report also recommends strengthening business attraction and investment in proactive incentives to attract skilled immigrants and entrepreneurs to address these challenges.
