The number of people living in Canada rose by 127,978 to 38.7 million, a gain of 0.3 per cent, in the first three months of 2022, according to Statistics Canada estimates released Wednesday. The report showed accelerating gains following a slow-growth period in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic began.
With an aging workforce and a record number of job vacancies, robust immigration will be “even more critical to the labour market,” the statistics agency said.Article content In the 2010s, immigrant workers accounted for 84 per cent of the growth in the total labour force and 55 per cent of the growth in the high- and medium-skilled jobs. They also offset a decline in lower-skilled jobs among Canada-born workers
Canada is increasingly reliant on temporary foreign workers to fill labour gaps, with the number increasing to 777,000 in 2021 from 111,000 in 2000
Must be because of all the covid 19 death Canada's population is growing given the fact 25% of population is baby boomers/ 70 and over
Once apon a time 100% of new comers came with the determination and desire to work hard and be productive.. Not so much today. Many come for the freeride and Trudeau's photo ops.. Sitting in hotels for years twiddling their thumbs... Then complaining they are not GIVEN enough.
ElectTories where are we housing all these new people?
Just keep roxham road open and we can be at 100 million
Filling a country that is short of housing and healthcare with illegals and pretend refugees. Brilliant strategy cdnpoli
But no houses to put them in
Could it be the refugees
Oh just wait till all them boosters kick in to every vaccinated persons system it'll drop real fast!!!
Trudeau himself admits his immigration policies are destroying Canada.
With a significant increase in still borns and all cause mortality +1100% from the vax, their numbers are a farce. Immigration to mask it. Why do you think they are allowing mass illegals coming across the border down south? The new propaganda will be related to +population
So Again…NO climate “emergency” 🙄
Great now if we could only provide what it is people need to survive like Affordable house, food, access to clean water.
What's the total number of residents including temporary foreign workers (25% of which get residency) & international students who also have an easier pathway to citizenship? For 2021 must over 500k
Trudeau is bringing in the future liberal vote. We can’t look after our own people but hey let’s bring in more. Nothing like furthering the welfare state agenda.
Seeing so many wyte ppl with butthurt comments about immigration like you aren’t 3-4 generations removed from being an immigrant. To think you have the right to tell others they shouldn’t be here is just mind boggling to me.
We need all of these people
Why not? Everything here is “free”.
We don't need more immigration right now
And it is now targeted to communities with historically less immigrants ( Social engineering, in less friendly parlance) 'replacement' is white nationalist conspiracy theory , right? Its fake news, right? ...'We are all immigrants' ...except for Quebec.

The data would suggest otherwise, as Canada's population ROC contiues its 'secular slowing.'
“The majority of the gains came from international migration, which remains the driver of population and labour growth in Canada. The country welcomed 113,699 immigrants in the first quarter, the highest number in any first quarter since quarterly data became available in 1946.”
Hold on and take care of ourselves. I’m hearing there are Canadians skipping meals because they can’t afford there gas bill to go to work.
I hope I’m wrong. I’m all for helping fellow people in dire needs. But it feels to me that our government cares more about bringing people in than Canadians. Canadian tax payers are paying for all this and are receiving little relief. Everything is expensive. Maybe we should
Rebuilding their home countries in the GTA.
They also leave again once they realize what they have arrived into.
Wahhh - my wife and I have professional incomes but we'll never own a house in Toronto. I don't understand it. Maybe if I keep voting for TrudeauNationalDisgrace it'll get better.
While immigration is crucial for our growth, gov’t service levels simply don’t keep pace through lack of funding Housing Infrastructure Public transportation Health care Schools 113,700/Q1 = 1,263/day or 316 housing units/day at 4 people per family. We have a housing crisis.
What else can people do when the are locked down for so long? There is only so much TV you can watch
Housing crisis, 2 million person backlog in immigration processing, but keep bringing them in ...
And yet fertility rates are massively declining. Population replacement commencing...
And they weren’t born here !! Check out downtown Toronto ! Pretty fucking dark ! 🌚. Downtown bars and restaurants are fed up with these patrons .
Another kind of inflation...
More fuel to the housing crisis fire that's seriously degrading quality of life for millions of have-not non-owners facing unaffordable rents & real estate. Affordable housing is a basic human need. This is a HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE issue caused by Trudeau gov't policies.Unforgiveable
Trudeau: we will do anything to allow our women to terminate their babies! Also Trudeau: we will commit to importing populations from culturally and spiritually asymmetrical values at our expense.
The great replacement to as per the great reset. What a shame. Canada was such a beautiful country. The damage done in the last 7 years will be felt for the next 100. What a travesty.
From immigration and refugees
Halifax is being flooded by Indians
A lot of Canadians having babies? What a nice plus for Canada.
That’s because Trudeau invited millions of foreign travellers and they’re outbreeding Canadians 4-1.
You wonder why housing or our crappy public healthcare is under strain. Zero planning
Well this won’t add any fuel to inflation or draw on already limited services . Liberal govt is just out of synch with the economic reality.
It’s a good thing all these new immigrants don’t need a place to live in !
Yeah because you’re flooding the market With more votes we have a big enough problem stop bringing people here unless they bring something to society get lost doors closed
Grunt work people supply. Most with basic or no education. Good luck 'growing' a country with an outdated immigration system.
How many are living off of Canadian taxpayers . Get back to legal immigration when people got into Canada because they could contribute to the economy . We should start by closing Roxham Road .
And the most ever getting out of this hell hole
Immigration is a double edged sword. Hopefully we will not end up like Sweden.
Ya just what we need when we can’t even house and feed Canadians.and our pm spends our tax dollars on every country but canada TrudeauNationalDisgrace TrudeauCorruption trustfundreudeaumustgo
Didn't JustinTrudeau mention something about a lack of housing, Pollution, health care, public transportation, etc,etc. How do you build new housing and cut our carbon footprint
Not for the good either. During a time of crisis, a pandemic, with long hospital wait times. JustinTrudeau should have Canadians backs as he always says. He doesn’t take care of Canada or Canadians.
worldwide birth rates are dropping, (yes even in china) with non covid related (SADS) deaths and infertility issues at a shocking rate in the last 2yrs. it's becoming exponential as jab rates increase. Canada with open the floodgates to compensate.
Liberals need the voters as they’re allowing women to abort future generations.
Canada will fall The more foreigners imported to make up for the lack of natural births, it's inevitable Canada will stop existing
Thanks roxham road
Can we immigrate house builders?
It's not coming from having more babies in Canada,so where is Population gain coming from? Good or Bad?
Is the birth rate up or are we taking in massive amounts of immigrants right now?
We don’t have the infrastructure to care care of the people already here but hey, let’s add 500k more a year and see if the problem fixes itself!
What if the BOC tries to crack the real estate market and nothing happens? We need immigration to grow the economy to pay the debt. Ontario has one of the highest immigrant growth rates in the world and it’s not going to stop because we can’t afford a places to live.
When you bring 450,000 people in a year and let 36,000 just walk in across the border unchecked, that happens…
Under the cover of Covid, the Trudeau regime opened the floodgates. Take a walk and see what happened over the winter. It's unmissable. The Great Communist Reset has many devious tentacles.
But do they know? They can never leave? No passports for you
Now let’s hear your racist side of the story NP 😼
Please tell me how that improves the carbon footprint.
Yet our taxes are going up and up and up.
And yet we don't have enough houses for the people here .
And the fastest rate of inflation...in the same time period...
With the majority of new faces from immigration...resulting in huge shelters, social services and immigration budgets.
