Canadians’ positive view of immigration is often seen as a core part of Canadian identity, but policy decisions and international perceptions also play a role in determining immigration levels. Canada aims to admit 1.45 million new immigrants between 2023 and 2025. Both Canadian and international perspectives on immigration policies affect newcomers’ matters, as immigrants must have a desire to come to Canada. Century Initiative, a non-partisan charity, reported on factors that could affect Canadian immigration, including public opinion, Canada’s brand for immigrants, and potential risks such as affordable housing.
