In absolute numbers, Ukrainians we’re the largest nationality to enter Canada for 2022.

Roughly 130k we’re settled last year.

I think OP is conflating PR invitations with immigration numbers.

The Canadian definition of immigrant is permanent resident basically:

Immigrant refers to a person who is, or who has ever been, a landed immigrant or permanent resident. Such a person has been granted the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities.

Most Ukrainians who entered Canada recently came on a temporary 3 year work permit

Correct. The Ukrainians that were urgently brought in are temporary residents, not immigrants. Many of them will likely qualify for PR once they have some Canadian experience, but as temporary residents there is an implicit understanding that they will leave before their status expires.

Ukrainians entering Canada were not PRs and therefore not immigrants.

I live in Brossard, Quebec. and thought it was way more Chinese people, this town seems to be owned by them. Interesting how I barely see any Indians, it seems they just go to the Anglo cities

This isn’t the number of immigrants, this is PR invitations per year.

Why showing as bar chart? Should visualize another way to describe distribution

Do you think a pie chart would be better?

[deleted] t1_jbe6d13 wrote

Not but treemap would be nice. Same with pie chart, showing percantage. But pie chart is hard to be recognized if not distribution is like 25-50-75%

I expect it would look very different if normalized for the number of people who emigrate from each country in total.

Canadian immigration is more lenient than US immigration thats why they immigrate to Canada first

I disagree as an immigrant who has lived in both the USA and Canada. Canadian immigration is mind-meltingly idiotic, and far more difficult to manage than the yank immigration process.

Ive lived in both and im not a citizen of either country… Canadian immigration is wayy easier than US immigration.. Canadian immigration if you have enough education and work experience you can get enough points to immigrate… the US is almost impossible unless you are extraordinary enough to get H1B sponsorship or have US citizen family members that can sponsor your green card… the reason I moved from the US to Canada was because I couldn’t stay in the US and i know many people who work in tech (mostly from India) who did the same..

If you’re from India you’ll have a much harder time in the US than most people because Indians saturate their quotas very quickly every year.

I suppose the perspective matters. For an educated person (in an in demand field), immigrating to Canada is pretty easy, as you say, but immigrating to the US is difficult. But for an uneducated person, immigrating to Canada is basically impossible, but immigrating to the US is possible through family sponsorship.

I wonder how the emigration to the US rate compares between native born Canadians and immigrants to Canada.

mmarollo t1_jb2swgu wrote

The flow of immigrants from the US to Canada is about 1/10th of vice versa, per capita. In order words, roughly the same numerical amount of people migrate in both directions, but the US is 10X as large. Having lived in both countries, there isn’t much in Canada to attract an American other than a spouse. There’s nothing wrong with Canada, it’s just that everything in Canada is available in the US as well. “Free” health care? Yeah no. The waiting lists here in Canada would shock and appall most Americans. I got far better care in the US than here in Canada, but I sure wouldn’t want to get caught without insurance in the US (most people have excellent insurance).

I had been surprised seeing it on the list at all. I know that a lot of people do threaten to leave America for places with better safety nets, but I somehow didn't expect that much follow-through.

Me too. I don't know many American immigrants. Then again, they blend in pretty well
