I don’t have the exact statistics on hand, but from various reports it seems as though there’s a substantial (and increasing) proportion of Canadians retiring and Canadians are having fewer children. Once retirees exit the work force, there will naturally be gaps in the labor force. Who fills those gaps? What’re the economic consequences if those gaps aren’t filled? Canada’s Express Entry immigration system prioritizes young, healthy, skilled and/or qualified people. To me it seems Canada needs both to be able to continue to function effectively: immigration and housing (and healthcare, access to education, municipal services, green spaces, etc.) Healthcare in Canada is another catastrophe in the making at present.
