Why Canada needs more immigrants
Canada’s desire to welcome over 300,000 immigrants per year is meant to help alleviate its demographic challenges.
Canada has one of the world’s lowest birth rates and one of the world’s oldest populations. As more Canadians retire, it will struggle to replace them in the labour market since the country is not having enough children. This is where immigration comes in.
Immigration has been the main driver of Canada’s population growth since the 1990s, and will be the only driver of it by the early 2030s.
Population growth is important because it fuels labour force growth. The two ways to grow an economy is by adding more workers and using those workers more productively.
Today, immigration tends to account for all of Canada’s labour force growth, or the vast majority of it, in a given year. This means that Canada would constrain its economic growth potential if it welcomed fewer immigrants.
Immigrants will help to create more jobs post-coronavirus
Canada’s economy is facing tough times, but immigration will play a pivotal role in supporting Canada’s economic recovery since immigrants will help to fill newly-created jobs and also support job creation in other ways.
Statistics Canada research shows that immigrants have a high propensity to start businesses. In one of its
recent studies, Statistics Canada found that immigrant entrepreneurs created 25 per cent of new private sector jobs between 2003 and 2013, even though they accounted for 17 per cent of companies studied. In other words, immigrant entrepreneurs punched above their weight when it came to job creation.
Hence, immigrant entrepreneurs post-coronavirus will create businesses that will create new jobs for fellow Canadians.
Finally, immigrants bring significant savings with them which helps to fuel the economic activity that is critical to fueling job creation in Canada.
Consider the useful proxy of international students.
According to the federal government, the over 600,000 international students in Canada contribute over $22 billion in economic activity each year which supports nearly 200,000 Canadian jobs.
Canada has over 8 million immigrants, who make an even bigger contribution to economic growth and job creation than international students.
