Almost half of Canadians think immigration target too high: Poll

Even as Canada set a record by admitting 431,645 new permanent residents in 2022, almost half of Canadians think that the government’s target of 500,000 immigrants a year is too high, according to a recent poll.

Forty-nine per cent of Canadians think the government’s immigration plan will admit too many immigrants to the country, according to market research and analytics company Leger.

The web poll, which covered 1,537 Canadians, said “75 per cent of Canadians are concerned the immigration plan will result in excessive demand for housing and health and social services”.
