This statistic shows the total number of emigrants from Canada from 2000 to 2023. Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, approximately 94,576 people emigrated from Canada to another country. The majority of emigrants from Canada came from the province of Ontario, with British Columbia having the second largest number of any province.
Canada’s appeal as an immigration destination has been increasing over the past two decades, with a total of 464,265 people immigrating to the country in 2024. This figure is an increase from 2000-2001, when approximately 252,527 immigrants came to Canada. Immigration to the Great White North Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, there were an estimated 199,297 immigrants to Ontario, making it the most popular immigration destination out of any province. While the number of immigrants has been increasing over the years, in 2024 over half of surveyed Canadians believed that there were too many immigrants in the country. However, in 2017, the Canadian government announced its aim to significantly increase the number of permanent residents to Canada in order to combat an aging workforce and the decline of working-age adults. Profiles of immigrants to Canada The gender of immigrants to Canada in 2023 was just about an even split, with 234,279 male immigrants and 234,538 female immigrants. In addition, most foreign-born individuals in Canada came from India, followed by China and the Philippines. The United States was the fifth most common origin country for foreign-born residents in Canada.

The global immigration control system market size is projected to grow significantly over the forecast period, with an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5% from 2024 to 2032. In 2023, the market was valued at approximately USD 8.7 billion and is expected to reach USD 24.3 billion by 2032. This growth is largely driven by increasing international travel, stringent government regulations, and advancements in biometric technology.
The burgeoning demand for efficient and secure immigration control systems is one of the primary growth drivers in this market. Governments across the globe are investing heavily in modernizing their border control and immigration systems to enhance national security. For instance, the rise in global terrorism and illegal immigration has compelled countries to adopt advanced technologies such as biometric verification and automated border control systems. These systems not only streamline the immigration process but also significantly reduce the chances of fraudulent activities.
Another key factor contributing to the market's growth is the rapid advancement in biometric technologies. Innovations such as facial recognition, fingerprint scanners, and iris recognition systems have drastically improved the accuracy and reliability of immigration control systems. These technologies provide a higher level of security and are more efficient in processing large volumes of travelers. The adoption of biometric systems is particularly prominent in countries with high volumes of international traffic, such as the United States, China, and the United Kingdom.
The increasing globalization and rise of international business travel have also played a crucial role in the expansion of the immigration control system market. As more people travel for business, leisure, and education, the need for efficient and secure immigration control systems becomes more critical. Airports, seaports, and land borders are increasingly adopting advanced immigration control systems to manage the growing influx of travelers. This trend is expected to continue over the forecast period, further driving market growth.
Automated Border Control systems have become a pivotal component in the modernization of immigration processes. These systems utilize advanced technologies such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning to efficiently process travelers at border points. By automating the verification process, these systems not only enhance security but also significantly reduce wait times for travelers. The integration of Automated Border Control systems is particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas like international airports, where the swift movement of people is crucial. As countries continue to face challenges related to illegal immigration and security threats, the adoption of such automated solutions is expected to rise, providing a seamless and secure experience for travelers.
Regionally, the market is witnessing significant growth in the Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe. The Asia Pacific region, in particular, is experiencing rapid expansion due to the increasing number of international travelers and the growing adoption of advanced technologies in countries like China, Japan, and India. In North America, the United States and Canada are leading the market due to their stringent immigration policies and significant investments in border security. Similarly, Europe is witnessing substantial growth driven by the Schengen Area's need for seamless travel across multiple countries while ensuring high security standards.
The immigration control system market can be segmented by component into hardware, software, and services. Hardware components include biometric scanners, surveillance cameras, and access control systems, which play a crucial role in the physical infrastructure of immigration control systems. The hardware segment is expected to witness significant growth due to the increasing demand for advanced security equipment at borders and points of entry. The integration of cutting-edge technologies such as AI-powered surveillance cameras and next-generation biometric scanners is further propelling the growth of this segment.
Software components, on the other hand, encompass the various applications and platforms used to manage and analyze immigration data. This includes database management systems, biometric matching software, and real-time moni
The United States had the ******* net migration levels of the G7 countries between 2000 and 2025. This is unsurprising as it is also the country with the highest population of the seven. Moreover, net migration to the United States decreased from 2016 onwards, following the beginning of the Trump administration. Germany's net migration peaked in 2015 and 2022 after a high number of refugees immigrated to the country, but has been decreasing since. In terms of net migration per 1,000 inhabitants, the U.S. had the highest ratio in 2025.
It is presumed that the first humans migrated from Siberia to North America approximately twelve thousand years ago, where they then moved southwards to warmer lands. It was not until many centuries later that humans returned to the north and began to settle regions that are now part of Canada. Despite a few short-lived Viking settlements on Newfoundland around the turn of the first millennium CE, the Italian explorer Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), became the first European to explore the coast of North America in the late 1400s. The French and British crowns both made claims to areas of Canada throughout the sixteenth century, but real colonization and settlement did not begin until the early seventeenth century. Over the next 150 years, France and Britain competed to take control of the booming fur and fishing trade, and to expand their overseas empires. In the Seven Year's War, Britain eventually defeated the French colonists in North America, through superior numbers and a stronger agriculture resources in the southern colonies, and the outcome of the war saw France cede practically all of it's colonies in North America to the British.
Increased migration and declining native populations
The early 1800s saw a large influx of migrants into Canada, with the Irish Potato Famine bringing the first wave of mass-migration to the country, with further migration coming from Scandinavia and Northern Europe. It is estimated that the region received just shy of one million migrants from the British Isles alone, between 1815 and 1850, which helped the population grow to 2.5 million in the mid-1800s and 5.5 million in 1900. It is also estimated that infectious diseases killed around 25 to 33 percent of all Europeans who migrated to Canada before 1891, and around a third of the Canadian population is estimated to have emigrated southwards to the United States in the 1871-1896 period. From the time of European colonization until the mid-nineteenth century, the native population of Canada dropped from roughly 500,000 (some estimates put it as high as two million) to just over 100,000; this was due to a mixture of disease, starvation and warfare, instigated by European migration to the region. The native population was generally segregated and oppressed until the second half of the 1900s; Native Canadians were given the vote in 1960, and, despite their complicated and difficult history, the Canadian government has made significant progress in trying to include indigenous cultures in the country's national identity in recent years. As of 2020, Indigenous Canadians make up more than five percent of the total Canadian population, and a higher birth rate means that this share of the population is expected to grow in the coming decades.
Independence and modern Canada
Canadian independence was finally acknowledged in 1931 by the Statute of Westminster, putting it on equal terms with the United Kingdom within the Commonwealth; virtually granting independence and sovereignty until the Canada Act of 1982 formalized it. Over the past century, Canada has had a relatively stable political system and economy (although it was hit particularly badly by the Wall Street Crash of 1929). Canada entered the First World War with Britain, and as an independent Allied Power in the Second World War; Canadian forces played pivotal roles in a number of campaigns, notably Canada's Hundred Days in WWI, and the country lost more than 100,000 men across both conflicts. The economy boomed in the aftermath of the Second World War, and a stream of socially democratic programs such as universal health care and the Canadian pension plan were introduced, which contributed to a rise in the standard of living. The post war period also saw various territories deciding to join Canada, with Newfoundland joining in 1949, and Nunavut in 1999. Today Canada is among the most highly ranked in countries in terms of civil liberties, quality of life and economic growth. It promotes and welcomes immigrants from all over the world and, as a result, it has one of the most ethnically diverse and multicultural populations of any country in the world. As of 2020, Canada's population stands at around 38 million people, and continues to grow due to high migration levels and life expectancy, and a steady birth rate.

Abstract. In recent decades there has been an increase of the amount of people from different countries from Africa who are transiting the American continent to reach the United States and Canada. Particularly in Costa Rica, since 2014 the presence of these migrations in transit has been more visible, which has produced different institutional responses to control and accompany their transit through the country. This article aims to make visible and problematize some of the main challenges present in the institutional attention to African migrations in transit in Costa Rica. Various interviews were conducted with officials in the area of migration (both from state institutions and international organizations) who have worked with this flow of migrants in the country.. Rather than going into depth on the public policies that permeate this migratory transit, the focus of the article is analyzing the concerns, tensions and contradictions present in the daily attention of this migration and also suggests practices that could strengthen more hospitable horizons with Africans in the country.

Among countries with the highest number of overseas Chinese on each continent, the largest Chinese diaspora community is living in Indonesia, numbering more than ten million people. Most of these people are descendants from migrants born in China, who have moved to Indonesia a long time ago. On the contrary, a large part of overseas Chinese living in Canada and Australia have arrived in these countries only during the last two decades. China as an emigration country Many Chinese people have emigrated from their home country in search of better living conditions and educational chances. The increasing number of Chinese emigrants has benefited from loosened migration policies. On the one hand, the attitude of the Chinese government towards emigration has changed significantly. Overseas Chinese are considered to be strong supporters for the overall strength of Chinese culture and international influence. On the other hand, migration policies in the United States and Canada are changing with time, expanding migration opportunities for non-European immigrants. As a result, China has become one of the world’s largest emigration countries as well as the country with the highest outflows of high net worth individuals. However, the mass emigration is causing a severe loss of homegrown talents and assets. The problem of talent and wealth outflow has raised pressing questions to the Chinese government, and a solution to this issue is yet to be determined. Popular destinations among Chinese emigrants Over the last decades, English speaking developed countries have been popular destinations for Chinese emigrants. In 2022 alone, the number of people from China naturalized as U.S. citizens had amounted to over 27,000 people, while nearly 68,000 had obtained legal permanent resident status as “green card” recipients. Among other popular immigration destinations for Chinese riches are Canada, Australia, Europe, and Singapore.

Migrants from the United Kingdom have long been Australia’s primary immigrant group and in 2023 there were roughly 960 thousand English-born people living in Australia. India and China held second and third place respectively with regard to Australia’s foreign-born population. The relative dominance of Asian countries in the list of top ten foreign-born residents of Australia represents a significant shift in Australia’s immigration patterns over the past few decades. Where European-born migrants had previously overshadowed other migrant groups, Australian migration figures are now showing greater migration numbers from neighboring countries in Asia and the Pacific. A history of migration Australia is often referred to as an ‘immigrant nation’, alongside the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. Before the Second World War, migrants to Australia were almost exclusively from the UK, however after 1945, Australia’s immigration policy was broadened to attract economic migrants and temporary skilled migrants. These policy changes saw and increase in immigrants particularly from Greece and Italy. Today, Australia maintains its status as an ‘’Immigrant nation’’, with almost 30 percent of the population born overseas and around 50 percent of the population having both that were born overseas. Australian visas The Australian immigration program has two main categories of visa, permanent and temporary. The permanent visa category offers three primary pathways: skilled, family and humanitarian. The skilled visa category is by far the most common, with more than a million permanent migrants living in Australia on this visa category at the last Australian census in 2021. Of the temporary visa categories, the higher education visa is the most popular, exceeding 180 thousand arrivals in 2023.
This statistic shows the total number of emigrants from Canada from 2000 to 2023. Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, approximately 94,576 people emigrated from Canada to another country. The majority of emigrants from Canada came from the province of Ontario, with British Columbia having the second largest number of any province.
