The pandemic did not affect the interest to immigrate to Canada
The latest survey shows that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy has largely not changed people’s plans to immigrate to Canada. Most prospective immigrants believe that in this pandemic, Canada will suffer less economically than their home countries. Of the 4,615 people recently surveyed by the World Education Service (WES), 38% said they were more interested in immigration to Canada, 57% said the pandemic did not affect their willingness to immigrate, and 5% said their immigration willingness has decreased. Researcher Joan Atlin said it is surprising that so few people have lost interest in immigrating to Canada. Most respondents also said that administrative barriers, such as longer IRCC processing time, reduced immigration quotas, or travel restrictions, will not affect their decisions.
