Canada welcomes an increasing number of new immigrants each year. Canada wants immigrants and immigration has become crucial to Canada’s prosperity. Notably, because Canada has one of the world’s lowest birth rates and an aging population. As a result, Canada needs immigrants to contribute to the economy. Otherwise, the country’s labour force will shrink and result in low economic growth.
