What is the Cause?

A welcoming immigration policy has contributed to Canada’s rapid population expansion, and survey data reveals that non-permanent residents, such as students and temporary workers, are seeing significant job growth. As the labor force grew by 153,000 people, or 0.7%, the labor force participation rate improved by 0.3 percentage points to 65.7%.

A record number of immigrants are also expected to arrive in Canada in the upcoming months. According to projections, Canada will likely accept close to 190,000 immigrants this year under the two immigration streams combined: Express Entry and PNP.

In 2025, this number is expected to increase to approximately 230,000 immigrants. As of January 31, there were 66,214 PNP applicants and 47,868 Express Entry applicants in line, according to the most recent information from IRCC.
