Abstract: The impact of immigration on the destination country is contingent not only on the number of immigrants admitted but also on how many of them choose to stay and actively engage in the labour market. Concerns have been raised regarding a potential increase in immigrants leaving Canada (e.g., Keung, 2023; Makkar, 2023). These concerns stem primarily from personal interviews gauging immigrants’ perceptions and expectations. While the emigration of immigrants is not a new phenomenon, and international migration has generally become less permanent, there is a lack of national data to ascertain whether immigrants are currently more inclined to leave Canada, compared with earlier periods.
