Cenus Shows Rapid Immigration Growth In Atlantic Canada<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigrants now make up the largest share of Canada\u2019s population in more than 150 years, according to Statistics Canada.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

New data from the 2021 Census shows that 8.3 million people, or 23 percent of the population, are or have been a landed immigrant or permanent resident. Just over 1.3 million new immigrants settled permanently in Canada from 2016 to 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

StatsCan says that was the largest proportion since Confederation, topping the 1921 record of 22.3 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency says the share of recent immigrants settling in Atlantic <\/a>Canada has nearly tripled since 2006, rising from 1.2 percent in 2006 to 3.5 percent in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the 15-year period, the share of recent immigrants rose to 1.6 percent in Nova Scotia<\/strong>, 1.2 percent in New Brunswick<\/strong>, 0.4 percent in Prince Edward Island<\/strong>, and 0.3 percent in Newfoundland and Labrador<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 48 percent of all immigrants living in Moncton <\/strong>were admitted from 2016 to 2021. That number stands at 39 percent in Fredericton<\/strong>, 36 percent in Saint John<\/strong>, 35 percent in Halifax<\/strong>, and 32 percent in St. John\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than half of recent immigrants living in Canada were admitted under the economic category. A little more than two-thirds were selected through skilled worker programs<\/strong> or the Provincial Nominee Program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia<\/strong>, including the Middle East<\/strong>, remained the continent of birth for most recent immigrants, at 62 percent. Almost one in five recent immigrants were born in India<\/strong>, making it the leading country of birth for recent immigration to Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The share of recent immigrants from Europe <\/strong>continued to decline, falling from nearly 62 percent in 1971 to just 10 percent in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
