This year marks the 150th anniversary of the National Day of Canada, and the official population statistics have been released. Currently, Canada’s population has exceeded 35.15 million. Compared to the data from Canada’s first census in 1871, the current population is ten times larger than it was then.
According to the population census data released by Statistics Canada, between 2011 and 2016, Canada's population increased by 1.7 million, representing a growth rate of 5%, slightly lower than the previous five years' growth rate of 5.9%.
As of the most recent census date, May 10, 2016, the average annual population growth in Canada over the past five years was 1%. Over the past decade, Canada's population growth rate has ranked first among the G7 countries.
In the population growth of the last five years, about two-thirds was due to immigration, while approximately one-third relied on natural population growth, defined as the difference between births and deaths. Official reports indicate that, under the circumstances of low fertility rates and an aging population, future population growth in Canada will increasingly depend on immigration.
Canada’s beautiful scenery, livable environment, relaxed immigration policies, and high-quality education system attract the attention of immigrants from around the world. Many high-net-worth individuals choose to invest in immigration as a means of overseas asset allocation, thereby gaining overseas status and providing better education and development opportunities for their children, making it highly sought after by investors.
2017's immigration quota in Canada has been announced, with a total quota of 300,000. Although there is no significant increase, the quota for economic immigrants has risen by 7% compared to 2016. It can clearly be stated that 2017 may become a favorable period for immigration to Canada. Especially as the Canadian dollar is currently at a historic low, investing in immigration to Canada is timely! For more information, please call: 400-138-2929
