Canada needs immigrants to meet its economic and demographic challenges. The country has low natural birth rate and its population is aging fast. Besides, a high number of Canada’s workforce would hit their retirement age in the coming few years. So Canada wants more skilled workers to move to the country. Further, the immigrants support Canadian economy in many ways, which include paying taxes and spending more. So Canada has been increasing the number of immigrants welcomed by the country. The numbers are going to increase further in the coming years.
