Canadian Government is all set to welcome a large number of immigrants post-pandemic for economic recovery. During the past decade, Canada’s workforce that has augmented by 1.95 million is a contribution of migrators. 

Influences like; aging population, and elderly labor force, deteriorating natural population as number of deaths are higher than the number of births, etc., is continuously encouraging provinces to invite immigrants.
