Canada’s Immigration Reckoning: Who Leaves First?
Canada may not need mass deportations. A shrinking economy, disappearing jobs and unaffordable housing could push migrants to leave on their own.
But if hundreds of thousands leave, who fills the jobs they leave behind?
In this episode, we break down:
- Why Canada’s immigration and deportation numbers may tell only part of the story
- How expired visas, temporary residents and immigration backlogs are complicating the system
- Why Canada’s weakening job market could trigger a major migrant exodus
- The crisis facing trucking, logistics and other industries that relied heavily on temporary workers
- How Toronto’s high housing costs and low wages are making it harder for newcomers to stay
- Why some immigrants may return home or move to other countries instead of pursuing permanent residency
- What could happen to Canada’s labour market if temporary and undocumented workers begin leaving quickly
- Whether Canadian workers and younger generations can fill the employment gap
- How colleges, international students and changing immigration rules contributed to the current situation
- Why Canada may now face an opportunity to rethink immigration levels, labour needs and economic productivity
- Hosts: Mike Wixson, Paul Micucci
