Immigrants are leaving Canada at faster pace in recent years, study says

A new study has revealed a “record spike” in the number of immigrants leaving Canada between 2016 and 2019. The study has emphasised the need for the government to prioritize retaining newcomers as a means to enhance the country’s economy.

The report conducted by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) and the Conference Board of Canada finds onward migration, of immigrants leaving Canada has been increasing slowly for decades but suddenly surged in 2017 and 2019 — the most recent period of available data. The report also finds the risk of onward migration is particularly high between years four and seven following arrival in Canada.

According to the study, on average, 0.9 per cent of people who were granted permanent residence in or after 1982 left Canada each year. However, in 2019, that percentage rose to 1.18 percent, marking a 31 percent increase compared to the average. There was also a notable increase in 2017 when the migration rate surged by 43 percent, reaching 1.15 percent from 0.8 percent in 2016.
