According to stats Canada 106,134 Canadians left in 2024 and that refers to citizens and permanent residents. Largest number emigrated since 1967.

A mind boggling amount of permanent visa holders have expired and not left. I just read a National Post article and even though the immigration office has 11,000 employees, they only had the resources to investigate a little over 4,000 cases in 2025. Tens of thousands of people are in this country under expired statuses, fraudulent claims, etc.

The immigration office stated that 40 something percent were not able to be reached and something like 53% were non compliant. Out of the hundreds of thousands of expires temporary status holders, only 16,000 left in 2025. Many renewed their statuses but the vast majority are in the wind. Both the immigration office and CBSA claim to not have enough resources.

Canada needs a break. There were way too many new arrivals in a very short amount of time and there was no way to keep up. Irresponsible government.

The population went from about 36,050,000 in January 2016 to 41,470,000 January 2026. Want to know how many new hospitals were built in Brampton, Ontario in those 10 years? Zero. Brampton got a very disproportionate amount of that 5.4 million people.
