Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s record-breaking immigration to Canada has resulted in net quarterly migration soaring to more than 15 times the level it was when he first took office, the latest Statistics Canada figures reveal.
In the fourth quarter of 2015 when Trudeau was sworn into office, net international migration in Canada, the difference between the number of new immigrants to the country and those permanent and non-permanent residents who chose to leave, was 27,030 people.
By the third quarter of last year, the most recent period for which figures are available, net international migration was 413,579 people.
That surge in net quarterly international migration is due to both the current, record-breaking number of foreign nationals becoming permanent residents and the growing number of temporary residents, including temporary foreign workers and international students.
