              Interest In Immigrating To Canada Grows During COVID-19 Pandemic, Study Reveals

              Interest In Immigrating To Canada Grows During COVID-19 Pandemic, Study Reveals

              Last Updated on November 23, 2020

              People all over the world became more interested in immigrating to Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic, a study conducted by World Education Services reveals.

              The non-profit enterprise, which provides academic credential services for Canada’s Express Entry economic immigration programs, conducted surveys in April, June and August of 480,822 people who had applied for those services in the past two years.  

              The results show people all over the world increasingly saw Canada as a good place to live as the pandemic raged, with many expecting Canada to fare better than their home countries.

              “Respondents continue to expect COVID-19 to have a more negative impact on economic conditions in their home country than in Canada,” the authors of the study state. “The negative perception of economic conditions in the respondents’ home country remained high at 80 to 81 per cent from April to August.

              “However, a decreasing number of respondents, 56 per cent in August, down from 68 per cent in April, expected negative economic conditions in Canada.”

              The idea that Canada will do better than their home countries is fuelling a greater interest in immigration to Canada.

              As the pandemic continued to spread throughout the spring and summer months, the proportion of people who expressed more interest in immigrating to Canada grew from 38 per cent in April to 46 per cent in August.

              Even economic hardships that might affect a person or family’s ability to cover the costs of immigration to Canada seemed unable to dampen the mounting interest in moving to Canada.

              A third of those surveyed expected the pandemic to hit them in the pocket. Roughly half thought the pandemic would not affect their finances at all. 

              Despite the economic fallout from COVID-19, 38 per cent of respondents said they were now more interested in immigrating to Canada than ever and 40 per cent stated the pandemic had no impact on their decision.

              “Almost half, 48 per cent, of respondents … indicated that an economic recession in Canada would have no impact on their immigration plans,” the study’s authors wrote.

              As of Friday, Canada had 52,193 active cases of COVID-19 out of a total of 315,751 cases since the start of the pandemic in the country. COVID-19 had as of then claimed the lives of 11,265 people and 252,293 had recovered, putting Canada’s death rate at 4.27 per cent of cases. More than one in four Canadians, 28.3 per cent, have been tested for the virus.

              Canada’s Express Entry system is an online system created to manage the country’s immigration applications and process them within six months.

              Applicants who meet eligibility criteria submit an online profile known as an Expression of interest under one of three federal Canada immigration programs or a participating provincial immigration program to the Express Entry Pool.

              Candidates’ profiles are then ranked against each other according to a points-based system called the Comprehensive Ranking System. The highest-ranked candidates are considered for an invitation to apply for permanent residence. Those receiving such invitations must quickly submit a full application and pay processing fees within a delay of 60 days.
