Canada Latest Immigration Survey

24 Sep 2016

Mr. John McCallum, Canadian immigration minister conducted internal polling to check the views of Canadians in terms of increasing immigrants to Canada; however the results show that many Canadians have no idea how many immigrants currently come to Canada each year.

The survey was conducted in two phases; the first one consisted of 1,512 and the second one with 1500 participants. The survey respondents were informed that last year approximately 250,000 new immigrants came to Canada each year, to this 59 per cent said that was the right number, 25 per cent said that was too many, while 8 per cent said that was too low.

Post survey Mr. McCallum have addressed in his speech saying he wants to substantially increase the number of immigrants that Canada welcomes each year as this the only way to deal with the demographic challenges faced by the Canadian economy. He also said that, “I think with our mindset of welcoming newcomers in the beginning, with the facts of labor shortages, aging population, we have a good case to make, and I think we will be able to convince higher proportion of Canadians that this is the right way for Canada to go.”

Canadian government has increased their immigration plan which has target of about 300,000 immigrants this year which increase from 250,000 immigrants previous year. This shows the need of immigrants to increase Canadian economy.
