Recently, Statistics Canada released the latest 2021 census report. The report shows that as of 2021, there were over 8.3 million immigrants in Canada, accounting for approximately 23% of the total population. This is the highest proportion of immigrants in Canada's history, surpassing the 22.3% recorded in 1921 and setting a new record for the immigrant population share in 150 years.
Furthermore, Statistics Canada states that given the current situation of severe population aging and extremely low natural birth rates in Canada, "immigration" has become the primary driver of population growth. According to projections by Statistics Canada, if current trends continue, immigrants could account for 29.1% to 34% of Canada's population by 2041, meaning that immigrants will make up about one-third of the country's total population.
In recent years, Canada has continuously increased its immigration quotas and expanded its labor force. From 2016 to 2021, Canada welcomed over 1.3 million immigrants. Immigrants account for four-fifths of Canada's labor force growth, and Asia has now become the largest source of new immigrants to Canada. There are approximately 1.7 million people of Chinese descent living in Canada, accounting for 4.7% of the Canadian population.
The increase in the proportion of immigrants is inseparable from the "Immigration Levels Plan" set by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). It is precisely because of the immigration plan set by the department that talent from all over the world has moved to Canada. On November 1, local time, the Canadian immigration department released the "2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan," which will welcome 1.45 million new immigrants over the next three years, hitting a historic high!
The continuous increase in immigration quotas is partly due to Canada's severe labor shortage. By 2030, nearly one-quarter of Canadians will be retired; meanwhile, due to an increase in deaths and a decline in birth rates, the labor shortage problem may further intensify. Statistics Canada points out that the age structure of new immigrants is younger, which helps to mitigate the impact of Canada's labor shortage.
It is not difficult to see that increasing immigration is no longer just a "plan" for the Canadian immigration department, but has become a "mission." Currently, Canada is opening its doors wide to welcome immigrants, and the Canadian immigration department is also continuously introducing various favorable immigration policies to create more convenience for attracting new immigrants. Recently, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship announced that starting from October 12, permanent and temporary residence applicants who are already in Canada and meet certain conditions can be exempted from immigration medical examinations. This new measure will help provide faster processing speeds and will benefit more than 180,000 applicants in Canada.
