.. Have you been a newcomer in other countries? I think Canada is one of the best deals anywhere in the world, with some of the highest tolerance levels. Do you have good command of the English Language? That helps immensely as it’s the first impression people get of you.
All the information is available online.
How Canada treats its current Citizens however is incredibly lacking, and in large part due to the current government (driving up debt -skyrocketing inflation; and allowing foreign investment in housing) and previous government who have done nothing to address this housing crisis and growing inequality/wealth and opportunity gap. Canada has enough problems on its own, IMHO, rather than importing those from other countries or cultures that aren’t readily compatible with ours. As a one-time immigrant, we shouldn’t have to teach/re-teach BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS to new immigrants. Over-immigration and over consumption go hand-in-hand.

I agree, I only care about net migration. When the world re-opens you can expect a flood of Canadian residents looking to leave Canada. Net migration has been falling since 2008 and we can likely expect the trend to accelerate.

In Q2 it was -12,000 people.
