The economic recovery of Canada from new immigration programs

Before the pandemic, due to the aging of the population and low fertility rate, Canada has looked to immigration so as to help in decrement their demographic challenges.

This decade over 9 million baby-boomer in Canada is reaching the retirement age. Since there are not very enough new workers that can fill the vacancy of people in the labor market, Canada will not continue the competitive economy. Moreover, the young generation will also put pressure on the care of an older generation, and due to this, there may be chances that the older generation may not receive proper care.

Canada has been looking forward to higher immigration so as to support its population and the labor force growth to maintain high living standards.

Although still, it is early, the target of 401,000 newcomers to come to Canada is about to get accomplished by Canada. As per data shown by IRCC, nearly 50,000 new permanent residents are welcomed by Canada in the beginning first two months of the year 2021.
