I'm not the CEO of "Who counts as Western Co." so I wouldn't know. Geographically though, a very tiny part of Turkey is actually in continental Europe. I guess you gotta have land in Europe to be Europe no?

Finished the banking and it was gloomy in Toronto. Thought it will rain so I stayed at home.

This is bad. Really bad. Having an increase in rent will drive many people out of the city. It was overpriced back in 2017 and higher and higher prices for rent is not good at all.
As usual, my fav. line: "Immigration numbers are too high".
Which is unachievable. Hmm... I won't be surprised to see 2700 - 3000 for single bedroom by 2025. To think about it: when I moved in 2017, 1 Bdr was 1300-1400. Then it was steady increasing up to COVID where 1 bdr was 1800 (dropped from 2k). Now, 1bdr is 2400 - 2500. While it will cool down, it will keep increasing steadily. So, many will move out of Toronto and drive prices in other cities up as well. Interesting times!

So, roughly a 1M of people come to the country every year. The country that did not do any improvements to existing infrastructure before taking new people.
Irrespective of how liberal Canada is I do feel like that conservatives will use that an argument. Too bad, Pierre is actually disliked by many.

I think a good chunk of the increase in temporary residents is due to CUAET and PGWP extensions.
For the former, around 200k has arrived since the start of the program (see https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/ukraine-measures/key-figures.html), with perhaps 150k arriving at the turn of the year?
For the latter, as a rough gauge 127k PGWPs are expiring this year, with some 67k having already applied for PR (see https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2023/03/canada-announces-extension-of-post-graduation-work-permits-for-up-to-18-months-to-retain-high-skilled-talent.html). Assuming the numbers were not too different in the recent past and accounting for the fact that the extensions were available for 1.5 years' worth of expiring PGWP that gives us perhaps 90k or 100k more students who would otherwise have returned to their home country.
Together, that's a good quarter of a million temporary residents. Subtracting this still gives a rather large increase of 750k residents, of which 350k are temporary, still a substantial increase, no doubt, compared to the near 600k increase pre-pandemic in 2019, but not quite so dramatically so.
It'll be nice to know what's making up the rest of the numbers, has anyone seen any data on that? Perhaps the student population is still growing strongly? Has Canadian employers picked up the pace with overseas hiring (to this point, I noticed that there were more work visa holders than student holders queuing at the immigration office when I landed at Vancouver, with both numbers far exceeding the number of new PRs inbound from overseas)?
Nice to know that the wait has finally ended for a good number of fellow forum-goers!
I hope what you say stays true. Housing restrictions are already being violated as we see 4-5 squat in a room for $250-350/month each. Slumlords buying more real estate and evetually f'ing everyone over.

What I say is my wishful thinking. MOST LIKELY, situation will get worse and worse.
