Immigrants to Canada are increasingly leaving this country for opportunities elsewhere, according to a study(opens in a new tab) conducted by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and the Conference Board of Canada.
In fact, the number of immigrants who left Canada rose by 31 per cent above the national average(opens in a new tab) in 2017 and 2019.
According to the study, factors that influence onward migration include economic integration, a sense of belonging, racism, homeownership, or a lack thereof, and economic opportunities in other countries, the report revealed.
Oh good, maybe this will help with the housing crisis. Lol
But in seriousness, I know a few people who’ve moved to the US for better pay. Not worth it for me but I can see why people move.
I’m planning to move. I was born in Canada. I worked overseas for several years. I came back to Canada and I’m leaving again. Hopefully permanently. Better pay is definitely one aspect (although it’d take 10x increase to get me to move to the USA), but it’s not the only one. Quality of life is another MAJOR point that Canadians miss out on in a big way. Yeah you get a bigger home… and a fancy big truck… but to get that, you work yourself to death, you pay insane prices for things, and you have to live with stroads…
where you plan on going?
Yeah tell all of us so we can go too 🤣🤣
