When Welcoming The World To Canada Stopped Being Enough
Canada has long embraced immigration as a core part of its national identity, welcoming newcomers from around the world. However, the rapid population growth has outpaced housing supply, leading to significant challenges in major cities. As a result, public sentiment towards immigration is beginning to shift amid concerns over housing availability and affordability.
- ▪Canada's immigration policy has aimed to increase annual admissions to about 500,000 newcomers by the mid-2020s.
- ▪The country has seen a population growth rate that is among the fastest in the developed world, but housing construction has not kept pace.
- ▪In 2023, Canada added approximately 5.1 new residents for every housing unit started, leading to record-high rents and low vacancy rates.
