On September 8, Statistics Canada released its projection for\u00a0Canada\u2019s demographic makeup in the year 2041<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These projections, which are rooted in data from 2016\u2019s Census of Population, provide some key insights into where present figures and statistics project the country to be from a demographic standpoint in roughly 19 years.<\/p>\n Discover if You Are Eligible for Canadian Immigration<\/a><\/p>\n Furthering a trend that began more than two decades ago,\u00a0immigration<\/a>\u00a0is projected to continue being one of Canada\u2019s primary\u00a0population drivers<\/a>\u00a0over the coming decades.<\/p>\n Accordingly, Statistics Canada projects that the immigrant population in Canada could skyrocket by anywhere from 7.2% and 12.1% between 2016 and 2041.<\/p>\n Using more concrete numbers, StatsCan predicts that the percentage of immigrants in Canada, which was 21.9% in 2016, could balloon to somewhere in the range of 29.1% to 34.0% in the next nearly 19 years \u2014 a number that would represent the highest historical level in the country\u2019s 155-year history.<\/p>\n In line with the expected increase in Canada\u2019s immigrant population, it is anticipated that, by 2041, \u201cimmigrants and their Canadian-born children\u201d could account for 52.4% of the country\u2019s total population based on the reference scenario used by StatsCan. This would be an increase of 12.4% from 2016 when Canada\u2019s population came in at 14.4 million and the same group made up 40% of that total.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, is that the above percentage (52.4%) may be just in the middle range of possible outcomes. In fact, it is suggested that the actual number could be as high as 54.3% (with the low-end figure coming in at 49.8%).<\/p>\n This would mean that the number of immigrants and their Canadian-born children in Canada could be somewhere between 23.7 and 25.9 million (according to the projected Canadian population of 47.7 million in 2041).<\/p>\n As StatsCan gets deeper into the specificity of Canada\u2019s projected demographics in 2041, it is revealed that the racialized population in the country could reach between 16.4 and 22.3 million people. This figure would mean that racialized persons in Canada project to account for between 38.2% and 43% of Canada\u2019s total population, up from 22.2% in 2016 (when the number of people in this category was 8 million).<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0The Canadian government notes that the descriptor used here \u2014 \u201cracialized\u201d population \u2014 refers to \u201cpersons belonging to a visible minority group\u201d, as derived directed from the \u201cvisible minority group\u201d variable that has been part of the information collected through Statistics Canada\u2019s Census of Population since 1996.<\/p>\n From an even more granular perspective, forecasts suggest that 1 in 4 Canadians will be born in either Asia or Africa by the year 2041.<\/p>\n Between 9.9 and 13.9 million African or Asian-born people are estimated to be a part of Canada\u2019s total population in 2041, which would account for anywhere from 23.1% to 26.9% of people in the country. This result would represent a significant increase from 13.5% in 2016.<\/p>\n Thus far, a significant degree of Canada\u2019s demographic makeup is projected to change by 2041. One thing, however, that is expected to remain constant is immigrant preferences regarding where in the country they will choose to settle.<\/p>\n Several key reasons for this continuation include such factors as pressures on the housing market and the development of urban infrastructure. Regardless of the specifics though, the overall sentiment is that Canada\u2019s current reality is not projected to change in the future. The key takeaway from this part of StatsCan\u2019s report is that most of Canada\u2019s immigrants will continue to live in a Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) and three cities \u2014 Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver \u2014 will continue to dominate immigrant residence in the coming decades.<\/p>\n Generally, the anticipated increase in immigrant movement to Canada is expected to exacerbate present ethnocultural gaps across the country over time.<\/p>\n For instance, the presence of racialized persons is expected to generally increase across the country but remain significantly higher than the national average (over 41%) in the following nine Ontario or central\/western Canada CMAs: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Abbotsford\u2013Mission, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa\u2013Gatineau (Ontario portion), Windsor, and Regina.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the inverse reality is expected to take shape in eastern Canada, Quebec, the country\u2019s rural communities and most of every province\u2019s other CMAs (not identified above) \u2014 all places where the proportion of racialized people projects to fall below the national average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Visa Consulting & Coaching Training provide with a great place to Service, whether you are there to burn off some calories or are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14187,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[9,10],"class_list":["post-10986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-immigration","tag-travel"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10986"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10986\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14297,"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10986\/revisions\/14297"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demoappprojects.com\/Site02\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}A record-high proportion of immigrants in the Canadian population in\u202f2041<\/h3>\n
