Canada witnesses population jump due to immigrantsAFP, Montreal Thursday, 9 February 2017Thanks to a large influx of immigrants, Canada had the largest population growth of all Group of Seven countries over the past five years, government statistics showed Wednesday.The first data available from last year’s census shows that Canada now has a population of more than 35 million – 1.7 million (or five percent) more than in the 2011 census. About two-thirds of this population increase can be attributed to immigration, with natural population growth representing the other third, according to Statistics Canada.“In the coming years, population growth in Canada is projected to be increasingly linked to migratory increase rather than natural increase, mainly because of low fertility and an aging population,” the statistics agency said.Continued: https://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2017/02/09/Thanks-to-immigrants-Canada-sees-biggest-G7-population-jump-.html

Department of Homeland Security. Just under half of all immigrants in the country illegally are Mexican nationals, according to Pew Research. That share may decrease in the coming years, as Central American migrants to outpace Mexican in unauthorized land-based border crossings. But what about immigrants who come to the U.S. legally with a business, tourist or student visa? Most are from Canada, not Mexico, and more are from Germany than all Central American countries combined.DHS now estimates 93,000 Canadian overstays, more than double the amount of Mexican overstays (42,000) and about the same as the combined total of South America America. Canada has a smaller population that Mexico and Latin America, so its citizens also have a higher rate of overstays in addition to just raw figures.Those numbers irritated some, who reacted to the figures by suggesting an ethnic or nation-based hypocrisy in immigration enforcement. Canadians and Europeans make up only a fraction of the estimated 10.9 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
