How is Canada’s Population changing, and why does this matter to your future?
Canada’s population changes drastically especially as new immigrants move in. These changes include population size, ethnically and culturally. Being a new world country, immigration is an important factor in Canada's population growth and advances them economically. The population continues to increases yearly as Canada accepts over 250,000 immigrants per year, an increase in family growth (birth rates). As this may be good for Canada’s growth this could affect my future due to job limitations and businesses have to deal with market shrinkage, education issues, over-crowding, less housing options, health care issues, more pollution, natural disasters and an increase of crime rate. These factors could play a huge part in my future leaving fewer opportunities to thrive.
