UN reports Canada will continue to play a leading role in immigration until 2050

Wednesday, 25 March 2009

The United Nations has come out with its International Migration Report and Canada will continue to remain the second-biggest net receiver of immigrants until 2050, at 214,000 a year, although it's far behind No. 1: the United States

The UN report places the overall 2050 population of Canada at 42,844,000. Assuming Canada had zero net migration after 2005, its population would go down to 30,772,000. Canada’s economic stability and vitality is therefore dependant on the professional skills of foreign workers and students.
