Canada is 38,929,902 strong this year, according to the Statistics Canada report released on September 28th, 2022.

We've grown 5,453,214 from the 33,476,688 people who lived in Canada a decade ago.

94.5% of Canada's growth is due to international migration, with record-breaking numbers of people entering Canada to work and study. One hundred fifty-seven thousand three hundred ten new non-permanent residents came to Canada, the most significant increase in Canadian history. The second quarter of 2022 alone brought us 118,114 immigrants, the highest since we started keeping records.

Another factor driving the boom was an increase in asylum claimants, 36,805, to date in 2022. In this case, the ongoing war in Ukraine with Russia played a significant role.

According to the Immigration and Economic Growth report, the Canadian economy will benefit as six in ten immigrants are selected for the positive economic impact they bring to Canada.

Labour shortages of highly trained workers, declining birthrates, only 367,684 in 2021, and high biocapacity place Canada in an excellent position to bring in global immigrants to fill key jobs that keep the Canadian economy and our population healthy. Welcome to Canada.
