The economic impact of immigration is an important topic in Canada. While the immigration rate has dropped sharply from its peak early in the 20th century, Canada is still among the countries in the world that accept most immigrants per capita.

The per capita immigration rate to Canada has been relatively constant since the 1950s, and recent years have seen a steady increase in the education and skill level of immigrants to Canada.

Why is Canada accepting more immigrants?

The old-age dependency ratio is increasing, as a result of greater life expectancy, declining birth rate, and other factors

Without growth in the workforce and a declining number of people in the Labor market, it is going to create labor shortages. Canada is now relying on immigrants to fill in the gap between the number of workers retiring and those entering.
