Note on the foreign born residents number.

The number of 30% is arrived at by adding the 23% foreign-born permanent residents from the 2021 census to the 7% of Canadian residents on temporary visas.

The true number is actually higher due to undocumented immigrants and because the 23% number is out of date.

I remember 25 years ago when Canada's population hit 30 million and we learned about it in school. The population is nearing 40 million and Canada's natural growth rate is fairly low. It's mostly immigration, jazz cats.

More famous, but famous for being terrible.

You could have picked Celine Dion, Alanis Morisette, Neil Young, Bryan Adams, Drake, Joni Mitchell among others. These are all much better known in Europe than the one you chose, although admittedly some of these are also terrible…

The percentage of immigrants is also very high, but it’s not like they don’t have enough room is it?

@bakainu that's part of why Canadians like them so much. With such proximity to the US, so many of our musicians cater to American audiences to get famous.

The hip never tried to hide the fact that they're Canadian, they embraced it knowing that meant they would never be known outside of the country.

"All but unknown" is a gross overstatement. They are a much, much bigger deal in Canada than the. But "music" people in the US know them. They slot in right alongside bands like the Jam and the Replacements--really "cool" bands that have a certain air of credibility and cultural capital attached to them, like a litmus test for someone's interest in rock music. "Oh, you like Pink Floyd? Sure, they're good. But what about Nick Cave or the Tragically Hip?"

That kind of thing.

What makes it less nuts if it's American immigrants to Canada?

Americans have to go through the same immigration programs as anyone else anyways, with a couple of options that make it easier for skilled professionals to immigrate (like temporary TN status thanks to CUSMA).

Canada has generally moved towards being multicultural over the past 120 years. Canadian immigration policy encouraged Eastern European immigrants 120 years ago because they were good dry-land farmers and Canada wanted to populate the prairies. It was called Sifton’s Open-Door Policy, largely because some groups in Canada labelled non-Western Europeans as undesirable. Regardless, Canada has generally opened its doors to large scale immigration because our natural growth is quite slow and moral obligation. After both World Wars, Canada opened its doors to hundreds of thousands of European immigrants. Canada allowed tens of thousands of Hungarians to come here after they fled the Hungarian revolt against communism. It’s not desperation to accept immigrants; I’d say it’s an accepted fact that Canada needs immigration to maintain population growth. I’d also say that the federal government has generally convinced Canada that multiculturalism is part of the Canadian identity, too.

Canada has done well to recognize the benefits of immigration. Are there trade-offs? Sure, that's life. But there are some countries with declining populations that are going to struggle mightily in coming decades. Canada will be well-positioned.

I don’t think they’re desperate, but it makes both practical and moral sense to have a policy like they do. They have plenty of room after all…

While there is "plenty of room", those who immigrate to Canada aren't all flooding to unoccupied remote areas in the wilderness. They are mainly going to the larger metropolitan areas, with an increasing number starting to target smaller cities such as mine. For a long time, the majority of Canadians knew that immigration was needed and welcomed the arrival of immigrants, appreciating the hard work and wealth of culture that they brought to the country. However, the past government mistakenly allowed a historic number of temporary residents to immigrate during too short a period of time. This has put stress on infrastructure, the public healthcare sector, and housing. Additionally, there are now wage suppression issues in some careers, such as IT, software engineers, truckers, etc.

The percentage of residents born outside the country will drop as we're having record numbers of immigrants emigrating out of the country.

Balanced immigration is good but over immigration has driven up housing costs and over-saturated the job market, something which causes many to leave. And yes, it's still disproportionate to the increased number of immigrants let in in recent times.

I don't think Canada would have a large number of undocumented immigrants as they would surely want to become documented, as they wouldn't fear the state as much as immigrants in the USA.

Not necessarily. Canada deported a 65-year-old Pakistani woman about ten years ago even though she was at risk of being stoned to death in her home country. Canada actually has deported women somewhat regularly whose claim to refugee status is that they’ll be the victims of violence at home, just not state-sponsored violence. So there are probably a decent number of Canadian immigrants living under the radar.

They definitely exist but not nearly is as large numbers as in the US. Estimates have the number at 500k at the high end compared to 14 mil in the US. Considering population difference that's roughly 1/3 the frequency.

Interesting. I was unfamiliar with this case. It's very sad to read about, but I appreciate you pointing it out. People tend to take such black & white views of countries. Canada=always humane and welcoming to immigrants. US=always racist and hurting immigrants. Of course the truth is always much more complicated. I do a lot of asylum work in my profession, and I certainly welcome everyone's compassion for people fleeing suffering, but the general lack of understanding of how our immigration processes work tends to make conversing about the subject with the average person unproductive and frustrating.

I hope this woman is safe, wherever she is.

I had never heard of the Tragically Hip. I could have known Loon and Beaver, but I have a headache and cannot focus. Still, I got all the others right, so I am pleased, considering that my time spent in Canada amounts to 2.5 hours wandering around Vancouver Airport looking for a letterbox in 1987.

If you don't know the tragically hip, I'm not sure if you can truly call yourself Canadian.
