40% decline in permanent residents becoming Canadian citizens since 2001, data shows
StatCan numbers reveal the percentage of permanent residents who become Canadians has plummeted over the past 20 years.
The Institute for Canadian Citizenship says Statistics Canada data points to a 40 per cent decline in citizenship uptake since 2001.
In 2021, nearly 45.7 per cent of permanent residents who’d been in Canada for less than 10 years became citizens.
That’s down from 60 per cent in 2016, and 75.1 per cent in 2001.
“But ultimately, what’s changing is that people have decided that they’re less interested in being `Team Canada.”’
So we have to build 50% more housing for people who don’t want to stay here.
Canada needs to build 50 per cent more homes as Ottawa plans for higher immigration levels: report
As Canada prepares to ramp up immigration levels, a new report says the country will need to build 50 per cent more housing than what’s already being planned.
The report, published by economists from Desjardins on Monday, says in order to keep up with the federal government’s immigration targets without causing substantial increases to home prices, 100,000 more homes need to be constructed annually in 2023 and 2024.
“Increasing the housing supply beyond the typical demand response would also take pressure off prices but requires extraordinary policy intervention and resolve,” the authors wrote. “Indeed, we estimate that housing starts would have to increase immediately by almost 50 per cent nationally relative to our baseline scenario and stay there through 2024 to offset the price gains from the increase in federal immigration.”
Masses are let in who regard Canada as nothing more than a stepping stone to elsewhere.
Canada’s immigration policy is a scam that does not benefit citizens.
