India is Canada’s largest source of human capital
Indian immigrants made up a quarter of all newcomers to Canada in 2019, setting a new record. India was by far the largest country of origin for permanent residents having 85,593 approved applicants in 2019, which is more than the four following countries combined. The figures were emphasized in the 2020 Annual Report on Immigration when presented to Parliament. India has been the largest country of origin since 2017 when it overtook China in the PRs, but the numbers have risen in recent years, with an increase of over 20% between 2018 and 2019. The main reason for India’s leadership in immigration to Canada is its human capital. Many Indians are educated, and their level of English is often higher comparing to other nations.
