Immigrants to Canada are increasingly leaving this country for opportunities elsewhere, according to a study(opens in a new tab) conducted by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and the Conference Board of Canada.

In fact, the number of immigrants who left Canada rose by 31 per cent above the national average(opens in a new tab) in 2017 and 2019.

According to the study, factors that influence onward migration include economic integration, a sense of belonging, racism, homeownership, or a lack thereof, and economic opportunities in other countries, the report revealed.

It has always been like that, there's 50'000 French immigrants per year coming in Québec. 50% leave the first year, 40 other % leave in the first 10 years. So after 10 years there's only 10%, 5000 people, staying, half of them will leave to retreat in France.

These are astonishing numbers. Do you have a source for this?

I must have had a 10x factor, no way there is 50k French people every year, 5000 sounds more normal. But the 50% of French immigrants going back to France in the first year, I saw it with my eyes, same for most of the remaining ones going back in the first 10 years.

There was a lot of internet forums years ago about french immigration, they about all disappeared :-/
