Many countries are engaged in a global race to attract skilled and talented workers from around the world. But Canada is at risk of losing ground due to recently announced reductions in immigration and restrictive policies.
Many of those already in Canada are also considering moving elsewhere. According to an October 2024 report by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and the Conference Board of Canada, one in five immigrants leave Canada within 25 years. Over one-third depart within the first five years, often due to unmet expectations and difficulties in navigating the settlement process.
