Toronto Star – Residency Delays Could Be Bad News for Country Dependent on Immigration
A study published this week paints a hypothetical picture of Canada’s future so unlikely that its authors call it “counterfactual”: a Canada without immigration.

Global News – If Immigration Was Slashed, Canada’s Economy Would Feel the Pinch: Report
Due to Canada’s small population and aging workforce, a new Conference Board of Canada report predicts that eliminating immigration would have a negative impact on the Canadian economy by 2040. “They are going to contribute to our labour force, but they’re also going to contribute in terms of economic activity,” explained Kareem El-Assal, senior research associate with the Conference Board. The report goes further in predicting that Canada’s population growth will be driven entirely by immigrants by the year 2040.
