QUEBEC | CANADA – NEWS -

In September, Quebec immigration minister Kathleen Weil outlined her plan to increase the number of immigrants coming into the province to 52,500 by 2019.

The announcement is a step back from an initial plan to welcome 60,000 new immigrants from 2017, but it is an indication that Quebec’s Liberal government understands how important immigration is for economic prosperity.

Projected Immigrant Numbers For Quebec

• 2017: 51,000
• 2018: 51,000
• 2019: 52,500

Quebec is battling a naturally declining working-age population. People are getting older and retiring, and there are not enough coming into the work force to replace them. This is down to the province’s low birth rate, combined with high out-migration within Canada.
