CitizenVectron Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Quote The federal government is continuing with increases to the number of immigrants Canada will accept in each of the next three years, with a total of just over a million newcomers expected by 2022. Federal Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino released the planned immigration levels Thursday, saying Canada will admit 341,000 permanent residents in 2020, 351,000 next year and 361,000 in 2022. By 2022, the year's new permanent residents in Canada will account for one per cent of the population, Mendicino said. So by 2022 we will be increasing the population of Canada by 1% each year, not counting births. This doesn't include refugees, which has its own number: Quote Overall, Canada is expecting to settle 49,700 refugees and other protected people in 2020, a number applauded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees representative in Ottawa. The long-term goal, if I remember, is to continuously increase Canada's population to 100m even as the world population plateaus and shrinks by the end of the 21st century. Basically keep sucking up the best from other countries. The last few years have seen big booms in people looking to move to Canada as the US has become more hostile.

I have yet to experience during, well, good weather as I've only been there since November so far but I really dig it nonetheless. I'm still mindboggled by the combination of French and clearly North American architecture and cars etc., it's a trip for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It would be nice for them to having a housing strategy too. As the population goes up, they need somewhere to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summers are amazing as there is always an outdoor festival going on every weekend and with daylight staying till like 8ish you have tons of reasons to stay out.

That would be different than having ~50% come to Toronto. I wonder whether my kids will be able to stay here, because they won't be able to afford to live here.
