Emigration up, immigration down: Trends contributing to slower population growth, says StatCan

The number of people leaving the country has been slowly increasing in recent years, according to recent data from Statistics Canada. Meanwhile, immigration levels are down in the wake of federal reductions. Both these trends are contributing to a larger picture of significantly slowing population growth, according to StatCan analysis.

StatCan includes Canadian citizens and permanent residents when it refers to emigration or emigrants — folks who leave Canada to reestablish their permanent residence in another country.

Canada’s immigration system must put national security ahead of applicants: Expert

OTTAWA — Canada’s immigration framework needs to put national security ahead of the interests of applicants.

That’s among many issues experts say need to change as Canada wrestles with what they say is decades of ineffective and damaging immigration policy, as the country deals with increased global security threats from bad actors.

GOLDSTEIN: Questioning Canada’s immigration policies is not racist

The Mark Carney government will be performing a public service to Canadians if it abandons the reflex position of the Justin Trudeau government that any questioning of federal immigration policies is racist.

A report by The Globe and Mail that said 17,600 foreigners had their criminal convictions forgiven by the Immigration Department over 11 years, up to and including 2024 — thus removing a ban on them coming to Canada — is a case in point.

Mass deportation is the only issue

Zohran Mamdani is probably going to be the mayor of New York.

Mamdani was born in Uganda to a Marxist academic, becoming a US citizen only in 2018. He effortlessly switches between a bobblehead Indian accent, a multiculti South-African Ali G, and the flat respectable Broadcast American that he now campaigns on. He got married this year so he can be Definitely Officially Not Gay for the 0.5% of over-65 New York Democrats for whom that still matters.

Who really built this country?

Barn raising in Lansing, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Anyone who has visited Canada or Australia in recent years might have noticed an interesting new tradition. This is the trend for issuing a ‘land acknowledgement’ at the start of any public event. Before discussion gets under way, some bureaucrat or other will get up and note that we are all fortunate enough to be on the land of X, and then garble the name of some not-especially-ancient tribe. The moment gives everyone a feeling of deep meaning and naturally achieves nothing.

Even our King indulged in some of this in May when he opened the latest session of the Canadian parliament. Before getting down to the meat of his speech, Charles said: ‘I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people.’ You would have thought that by dint of his being King and addressing a parliament the land had been very much ceded.

Joel Kotkin: The West’s immigration reckoning is here

The recent riots in Los Angeles, sparked by President Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants, could be a harbinger to a new era of ethnic conflict not only in the U.S. but throughout the West, including Canada.

Many leading countries for immigrants, notably in the Middle East, may have higher percentages of international migrants, but many are only there temporarily. But in Canada, Australia, and the U.S. — where the foreign born represent between 15 and 30 per cent of the total population — most come to stay, with sometimes problematic results.

The Sheer Bad Craziness of UK Immigration Law

Here’s a little experiment that you can run in your own free time with a willing research subject. Take a fairly mild-mannered, middle-class, reasonable adult-in-the-room voter. Then give him five judgments to read from the Upper Tribunal’s Immigration and Asylum Chamber, taken at random. And then watch your Centrist Dad transform into Attila the Hun.

Canada’s population standstill rattling Vancouver’s housing industry

For the first time in 74 years, the population of both B.C. and Ontario dropped by a few thousand people in the first months of 2025.

Sounds dramatic. And in some ways it is.

That’s even though the dip in the total number of people doesn’t make a statistical difference for either province. In the first quarter of this year, B.C. had 2,357 fewer residents than at the end of 2024; Ontario lost 5,644.

Don’t trust developers to act in anyone’s but their own best interests.

New Federal Report Links Immigration to Rising Housing Costs

So it turns out the government of Canada just released a report — and it’s not from some conspiracy blog or partisan think tank. No, this is from the Trudeau government’s own bureaucrats at Statistics Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. What does it say? Well, it quietly admits that something many of us have known for years and were called racists, bigots, and extremists for saying out loud is actually true: mass immigration has directly caused housing prices to skyrocket in Canada.

17,500 criminal foreigners allowed into Canada in past 11 years

More than 17,500 foreigners have had their criminal convictions forgiven by the Immigration Department over the past 11 years, removing a bar to coming to Canada, federal government figures show. The disclosure has raised transparency concerns about the type of offences they committed.

Foreigners are, in general, inadmissible to Canada if they have been convicted of an act that is considered a criminal offence in this country. But Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has the power to grant an exception if five years have elapsed since a person was convicted or finished a sentence.

I bet a lot of Liberal palms were generously greased.

Jamie Sarkonak: Canadians right to favour melting pot model of assimilation

Below the swell of goose-vs-eagle elbows-up patriotism that continues to gush through the nation lies an undercurrent of worry: half of Canadians feel that we’re losing a collective sense of what it means to be Canadian.

The finding was made by a new Postmedia-Leger poll released in advance of Canada Day, which asked respondents whether they feel, in the last four to five years, that “Canada has been losing a shared, collective identity of what it means to be Canadian.” Fifty-two per cent of replies were “yes,” while only 30 per cent were “no.”

Diversity Isn’t Strength; a Shared Identity Is

School Diversity Mosaic Appears To Feature Satan’s Spawn

Whatever replaces cockney London, two things are certain: it will no longer be England, and it’s coming to a town near you sooner than you think.

Twenty years ago, I was a juggler. The majority of my ‘work’ was in schools. I travelled the length and breadth of England – witnessing firsthand the changes wrought by Tony Blair and New Labour ‘diversity’. I can remember all of the best jobs – invariably these were small village schools, where the pupil numbers did not exceed a hundred. The family atmosphere was tangible, and it was a great pleasure to be there. I can remember the worst ones too. These were almost always large, faceless, inner-city academies.

One in particular stands out in my memory, a primary school in East London. The cultural divide couldn’t have been starker. Only one or two in each class were what would be termed ‘white British’. The white headmaster was openly ridiculed as he proudly walked the corridors, while the teachers were largely ignored.

Federal Minister Plans to Hold Consultations This Summer on Immigration Intake

Immigration Minister Lena Diab says the federal government will consult this summer on its immigration levels plan and whether the student visa system is “sustainable.”

In a recent interview with University Affairs, Diab says the annual consultations will reach out to the provinces, university administrators and students themselves.

An Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada spokeswoman says the government expects schools to only accept students they can “reasonably support” by providing housing and other services.

Mass Migration Increased Rent Prices by 10 Per Cent in England: Report

The mass migration agenda imposed upon Britain by both Westminster establishment parties has significantly increased the cost of rent in England, according to analysis from a think tank.

A report from Onward, which studied the impact of migration on the housing market since the gates were first opened in 2001 by the left-wing Labour Party government of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, found that rents have increased by £132 per month on average in England as a direct result of immigration.
