Introduction

INTRO

International students undergo many life changes when they study in another country.

Many of these students come to different provinces in Canada, whether it is for culture, economic stability or career advancement. In addition, most of them arrive to become permanent residents and later obtain citizenship.

However, this decision involves leaving behind a whole life and, in many cases leaving their family in the country of origin. This presentation will address the critical factors involved in this decision.

Immigration

INMIGRATION

Nowadays many people wish to emigrate from their countries for labour, economic or social reasons. However, they all have something in common: they are looking for a better future for themselves and their families.

How many inmigrants in the world?

In 2020, there were approximately 281 million international migrants, equivalent to 3.6% of the world's population.

Is it a problem?

Many countries have taken advantage of the large number of people seeking to migrate to another country and they have established policies and processes that allow them to accept immigrants in a controlled way in their countries.

Canada has one of the world's oldest populations and one of the world's lowest birth rates. This creates economic and fiscal pressures. As a result, Canada has been increasing its immigration levels since the late 1980s to increase its population, labour force, and economic growth rate. Canada now depends on immigration for most of its population and labour force growth and a larger share of its economic growth.
