Since the 1990s, immigration has been playing a major role in Canada’s population growth. According to Statistics Canada, immigrants and their children accounted for about two-thirds of Canada’s population growth between 2001 and 2006.1 In 2017, immigrants made up 21.9% of the Canadian population. There are many reasons why people choose to immigrate to Canada. Some come to reunite with family members who are already here. Others are by Canada’s reputation as a safe, welcoming, and diverse country. And many come in search of better economic opportunities. Whatever their reasons for coming, immigrants make a valuable contribution to Canada. They bring new skills and perspectives that can help us meet the challenges of a changing world. Over the past few years, Canada has welcomed an increasing number of immigrants. In 2017, the number of new immigrants reached a record high of 321,065.3 This is good news for Canada.
