Canada’s immigration continues to soar, as it welcomes more and more immigrants, with beautiful, Metro Vancouver in British Columbia being one of the most popular destinations. And this trend will not stop anytime soon.
According to Eric Kaufmann, a professor at University of London, Birkbeck, seven of 10 Metro Vancouver residents will be visible minorities in less than two decades.
At the same time, A 2017 Statistics Canada report, titled Immigration and Diversity: Population Projections forecasts the statistics for visible minority Canadians:
- Is likely going to grow more rapidly than the rest of the population
- Could more than double by 2036 to between 12.8 million and 16.3 million
Canada’s Growing Immigration Population
As for all of Canada’s immigration population, the same report from Stats Can also reported that, by 2036:
- Immigrants would represent between 24.5% and 30.0% of Canada’s population, compared with 20.7% in 2011
- Between 55.7% and 57.9% of Canada’s immigrant population could have been born in Asia. This is way higher than the 44.8% estimated in 2011
- 15.4% and 17.8% could have been born in Europe, down from 31.6% in 2011
- Nearly one in five people would be of second generation immigrants, compared with 17.5% in 2011
