Canada: Why the country wants to bring in 1.5m immigrants by 2025

November 22, 2022

Robin Levinson-King for BBC reports on Canada’s plan to double down on immigration:

“Canada is betting big on immigration to fill the gap in its economy left by aging Baby Boomers leaving the workforce – but not everyone is on board with bringing in so many people from abroad.

Earlier this month, the federal government announced an aggressive plan to take in 500,000 immigrants a year by 2025, with almost 1.5 million new immigrants coming to the country over the next three years.”
