  >Maybe house builders and doctors can come too if there's a demand for it? Having a large pool of house builders isn't going to suddenly solve new home supply problems or make homes affordable. That is a far more complex problem and simply having a readily available skilled labor force will not solve.

  >Maybe house builders and doctors can come too if there's a demand for it? Maybe the new comers can pay for housing and healthcare like everyone else(taxes, insurance etc.)? I think you are maybe missing the scale of my point. Canada is a country of 40m people. There are 8000m people on this planet. If we "let everyone who wants in" in, then the country's population could double if just 0.5% of the planet thought Canada was a better place than they are in already. There are easily that many such people. You think housing stock can be doubled? You think there are jobs for a doubling of population? On what time scale? Like I said already, it needs to be spread over decades.

    I think you are overestimating the demand for moving to Canada. I'm sure it's a nice place and works for people who like that climate and culture but I never considered moving there. There are many nice places in this huge world, the fear of having 8B people moving into canada is baseless.
