Canada Year 2060
By:Elyaa Alsafadi
Introduction:
Immigration:
Did you know that 97% of immigrants are either immigrants or descendants of immigrants? The immigration situations seem to be allowing a large quantity, that would only be allowed to enter if;
- You possess a security risk,
- You committed human or international rights contraventions
- You have been found guilty of a crime, or you have devoted a crime outside of Canada
- You are connected to an organized crime,
- You carry a serious health issue,
- You have a severe financial problem,
- You lied in your application or in an interview,
- One of your family members is banned from entering Canada.
Present:
- Currently, 63% of Canada's population are Economic Immigrants.
- 23% of the population is the family immigrants, that came to reunite with their families.
- Humanitarians complete the rest of the population with the percentage of 11%.
- The rest of the immigrants coming through are 3%.
- Allows 250,000 immigrants per year
Future:
After looking through many statistics I think that the population will either stay stabilized or increase with the amount of immigrants coming through.
Also, I think the amount of refugees coming to Canada will also increase, the lack of conflicts in Canada will encourage them to embrace the peace offered.
The quantity of economic immigrants will decrease because of the jobs being taken over with the new technology created. Over 47% of jobs in the United States will soon be computerized, and right behind it Canada will also computerize its jobs to save the money they give out to employee's.
As for the immigrants I think they're going to increase in Canada because of the lack of education, deficiency of health care and shortage of multicultural respect found in overpopulated, less fortunate countries. The income of immigrants I think will increase are the people from the Asian countries and some new European countries like France and the United Kingdom.
Demography
Currently as for the demographic state of Canada, it's situation has been steady and repetitive for the last decades.Its Natural increase Rate is a positive, which concludes the statement that the birth rate is higher than the death rate which gives population to the land. So technically it is fairly well even though it is at risk of over population.
Present:
- Population:35,540,400(year 2014)
- Birth Rate:.10.28(year 2014)
- Death Rate:7.87(year 2014)
- Natural Increase Rate:2.41(year 2014)
- Population Growth Rate:1.1(year 2014)
- Demographic Transition Stage: Stage Four(year 2014)
Future:
- Population:71,080,800(year 2060)
- Birth Rate:18.15(year 2060)
- Death Rate:12.64(year 2060)
- Natural Increase Rate:5.51(year 2060)
- Population Growth Rate:3.37(year 2060)
- Demographic Transition Stage: Stage Four(year 2060)
Push Factors into Coming;
- limited jobs
- lack of civil liberties
Pull factors into coming:
- High standard of living
- High standard of education
- Job opportunities
- Free health care (paid for by the government)
- Multicultural
- No language/religious barrier
- Free education (up to high school)
- Welfare

First Nations
Present:
The amount of First Nations will also be a large part of Canada. Through the latest studies, they have concluded the fact that first nations are starting to fulfill Canada with their high birth rate.
-Canada carries 3 different aboriginal groups: Metis,Inuit and First Nations
-There is about 615 first nation communities currently;
- 8 metis settlements
- 53 Inuit settlements
-These settlements equal 4.3% of the whole population.
The nations make up a large quantity in Canada population,The first nation currently is the largest community in Canada because of their high birth rate, and the Metis is the second most populated aboriginal group.The Inuit is the smallest aboriginal group in Canada.
In the future, I suspect that Canada will overpopulate in the lower regions, and will then have to encourage the residents to move to the upper regions of Canada.
----------
Future:
-They will double their population
-Canada will be more liberate with first nation communities
-They will have a steadier financial system
-Canada will start removing the stereotypical names they've given them(drunks,un-wealthy & etc)
Population Increase Supporting Data
-many baby booms are expected to happen around the 2030's
-3/10 seniors are baby boomers, so that means the senior population in 2060, will have a higher rate of centenarians adding to the new births happening so a huge population will remain
-A decade ago, there was only 4000 centenarians, but currently there is 6000 centenarians so it proves that the life span is stretching.
