More than 1.3 million new permanent residents settled in Canada over the last five years, pushing the ratio of immigrants to almost a quarter of the country's overall population, according to the latest Census.

 

In 2021, more than 8.3 million people or 23 per cent of the population, were, or had ever been, a landed immigrant or permanent resident in Canada. It was the largest proportion since Confederation and the highest among G7 countries, Statistics Canada says on Wednesday.

Canada is rapidly increasing the number of immigrants accepted each year, now topping around 350,000/yr and rising. I think the goal is to increase the population by around 1% per year with immigrants.
