Toronto Star – Census Data Says You’ll Make a Lot More than Your Immigrant Parents, But Your Kids Won’t Make as Much as You

Children of immigrants make a lot more money than their parents but their kids won’t make as much as them, the latest census shows.

CBC News – Less Than Half the People Deported from Canada in 2017 Paid Their Own Way Home

Less than half the foreign nationals forced to leave Canada last year did so voluntarily and paid their own way home, according to data from the border services agency. In 2017, there were 8,200 removals of failed refugee claimants, people who had outstayed their travel, work or student visa or were considered a risk to public safety. While 3,639 of them voluntarily complied with their removal order, the others were forced to leave with escorts or had transportation costs paid by the government.
