They brought their hands with them:
More than a third of government-assisted refugees remain on welfare a decade after landing in Canada, analysts with Statistics Canada said yesterday. Higher welfare rates followed landmark 2001 changes to immigration law: “It marked a major policy shift.”
Why stay?:
Canadians are packing up and leaving at a fast rate, during a traditionally slow period. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data shows emigration, the act of leaving permanently, jumped in 2021. The past year showed modest gains, rising to the highest level in half a decade. The fourth quarter is what sticks out though, showing a sudden acceleration. Canada saw the largest Q4 volumes of residents leaving since the 1970s.
