More than 15 per cent of immigrants decide to leave Canada either to return to their homeland or immigrate to another country within 20 years of their arrival, according to a new study.

TIL Many = 15%

15%.

That’s not many. That’s a few.

Within 20 years... That's a generation. They have time to raise kids to adulthood.

Immigrants are self selected people who are willing to relocate their lives - if asshats like Danielle Smith threaten to radically change the character of the country they chose to move to then it shouldn't be surprising they'll choose to move on.

I'm an immigrant, I'm feeling awfully tempted by Europe (Spain specifically) where social welfare is prioritized.

yeah I’m an immigrant, and I like it here but I definitely fit the profile of “willing to pack up and move to a new place” (which obviously not all immigrants fit into)

Isn't the set of immigrents inclusive of the subset of refugees?

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/240202/dq240202a-eng.htm:

This study revealed that more than 15% of immigrants admitted to Canada from 1982 to 2017 emigrated within 20 years of admission. However, this proportion varies by characteristic, including immigrants' country of birth.

Emigration is slightly more common from three to seven years after admission. This period may reflect the length of time that immigrants try to integrate into Canada by attempting to find a job and a place to live and adapting to life in Canada. Some immigrants may also emigrate if they encounter challenges in integrating or because they intended to from the outset.

Immigrants born in Taiwan, the United States, France, Hong Kong or Lebanon and immigrants admitted in the investor and entrepreneur categories are more likely to emigrate.

Longitudinal Immigration Database data will continue to be used to analyze the socioeconomic situation of immigrants, including economic integration and retention in the province or territory of admission.
