Growth Of Population Of Canada In First Quarter Of 2021 Attributed To Immigrants And Immigrant Students

When the pandemic struck in the early part of 2020, the whole world saw chaos. People were unsure about what to do and governments had to do their best to make sure that the people that they were governing over were kept safe from the virus that caused the pandemic. Most countries went on lockdowns and Canada was included in the list of countries to do so. It is a good thing though that Canada was able to put a handle on things and now, things are slowly going back to normal there.

 

One of the things that were severely affected by the pandemic and everything related to it was immigration in Canada. Because of the lockdowns, borders were closed and immigration definitely was also kept on a pause. But with Canada needing immigrants for a variety of things including economic growth and population growth, the country had to make do without them for a time. Now that things are getting better in the country, immigration is slowly also getting introduced back.

 

Population growth in Canada

 

Recorded during the first quarter of this year is the fastest rate that the population has grown in Canada since the pandemic had started. The population in the country has been able to start growing once again and is making its way to the levels that the country had enjoyed before the pandemic had started. A good portion of this increase in population is because of immigrant students that have come to the country to pursue their studies as well as other immigrants who have decided to join the country.

 

During the first quarter of 2021, the population of the country had gone up by 82,000. The government of the country surely is one of the hardest working sectors of the country as it had been able to bring in more temporary residents to Canada and encouraged them to go for permanent residency. This allowed for more growth in the population without having to bring in new immigrants. This also allowed for these individuals to continue on with the work that they have been doing in the country as most of the temporary immigrants were workers offering their skills and labor to the country’s businesses.

 

More immigrant students

 

With Canada being one of the top countries around the world that has a great educational system, thousands and thousands of immigrant students join the country each year. There has only been a hiccup in the influx of immigrant students to the country when the pandemic came about. However, nowadays, there are even more immigrant students coming in and that also has helped a lot with the population growth. For the first quarter of this year, the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada has been able to award around 21,000 permits to immigrant students.
