More than 300,000 immigrants arrived in Canada in the past year, the highest number since comparable record-keeping began, new estimates show.
In the last year to July, 320,932 immigrants landed in the country, the largest annual number since July, 1971, when current record-keeping started, Statistics Canada said Wednesday in its annual population count. That amounts to a 33.3-per-cent increase over the prior year, when 240,844 immigrants came to Canada.
