Canadian official research shows that more than 15% of immigrants choose to immigrate again within 20 years after arriving in Canada

　　China News Service, Ottawa, February 2 (Xinhua) A study released by Statistics Canada on February 2 showed that more than 15% of immigrants admitted to Canada between 1982 and 2017 chose to leave within 20 years after immigrating to Canada. Canada, emigrate to other places.

　　Research data shows that it is relatively more common to immigrate to another place within 3 to 7 years after immigrating to Canada. In part, this reflects the length of time immigrants spend trying to find jobs and housing and adjust to their new lives in an effort to integrate into Canada. Some immigrants encounter setbacks in the integration process and choose to immigrate again, or they have planned to immigrate again from the beginning.

　　Immigrants born in Taiwan, the United States, France, Hong Kong, or Lebanon have a higher proportion of re-immigration, with more than 25% choosing to immigrate elsewhere within 20 years after landing in Canada. The report suggests that the country of birth may continue to be attractive because of its higher standard of living, or that immigrating to Canada may be part of a larger "immigration strategy."

　　In contrast, immigrants born in the Philippines, Vietnam, Sri Lanka or Jamaica are less likely to leave Canada and immigrate elsewhere.

　　At the same time, more than 40% of investment immigrants and 30% of entrepreneur immigrants will choose to immigrate to other places within 20 years after landing in Canada. The research report points out that wealthy immigrants are often highly mobile, and even if they are accepted by a country or region, they may still plan to leave Canada in the future.

　　According to Canadian official statistics, the country's total population has exceeded the 40 million mark in June 2023. As the population continues to age and the fertility rate is below the population replacement level, immigration has become the main driver of Canada's population growth. Canadian officials had earlier predicted that immigrants would account for 100% of the country's population growth by 2032.

　　According to its plan, the Canadian government will absorb 485,000 permanent residents in 2024, which is equivalent to 1.2% of the country's current total population. The number of permanent residents admitted in 2025 will reach 500,000. From 2026 onwards, the annual number of permanent residents will be stable at 500,000.
