introduction
Immigration
Economic Immigrants:
- immigrants with skills and experience in the workforce
- experienced business people
Family Immigrants:
- citizen/permanent residence that are families coming to canada
Refugees:
- come for protection from their home country
Immigrants from 195 countries come to Canada and three main are from China, India, and the Philippines. A major issue that Canada is facing is that there are about 80,000 to 12,000 illegal immigrants living in Canada. This might be a problem in the year 2060 because this number will increase in the years and get worse. During 2009 the population growth increased steadily and this process will go on for another 50 years until it will gradually start to slow down.
www.statcan.gn.ca states " the canadian population would grow steadily, increasing from 33.7 millionin 2009 to 43.8 million in 2036 and 52.6 million in 2060" this mean that the number of immigrants will keep on gowing.
We can infer that the birth rate in Canada will be very high because of the increase in the population. The death rate will be higher and start to increase by the yeaar 2060 because of baby boomers. The natural increase rate will also be higher since birth/death rates are growing.
