Canada may face a wave of American immigrants
Many people in the United States were upset and frightened after the Supreme Court restricted women’s access to abortion, and many considered emigrating. Canada could be a good choice for these individuals as the number of American immigrants in the country has risen dramatically in recent years. The number of Americans who become Canadian permanent residents has increased every year since Trump took office, with the exception of his third year in office. From 2015 to 2018, 7,655 to 10,900 American citizens became permanent residents each year.

Canada needs more foreign workers to fill the labour market
According to the latest Statistics Canada report, sustainable immigration flows are critical to meet the need for both high- and low-skilled employees in many sectors as businesses recover from the COVID-19 epidemic. In the long run, larger immigration volumes will be required to a certain extent to mitigate the consequences of Canada’s aging population on the job market. In the years preceding the pandemic, immigrants’ employment prospects significantly improved. Temporary foreign workers and international students, both of whom are increasingly transitioning to permanent residency, have become a more important source of labour supply. Although economic success among recent immigrants has increased, significant issues remain with regard to their skill use.
