font-lightmedium\">June 27, 2024<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\"><strong>Safety and prosperity are this country\u2019s<\/strong> core value propositions. Here, a kid can arrive from anywhere in the world, enter public school and attend a relatively affordable university. They can graduate as a pharmacist or computer programmer or some other desirable professional, equipped to take advantage of the many opportunities Canada has to offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\">At least, that\u2019s how it\u2019s been for decades. How realistic is it now? The crushingly high cost of living makes everything harder. Finding an affordable place to live is nearly impossible, especially in major urban areas, especially for new arrivals. And what\u2019s the payoff? Even good incomes now barely cover living expenses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\">Last summer, Canada\u2019s population reached a milestone: 40 million people. We opened our doors to temporary workers, international students and many other newcomers to address nationwide labour shortages. The sudden population surge surpassed projections and created a host of unforeseen problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\">Canadians tend to be pro-immigration, in part because many citizens are first- or second-generation immigrants themselves. But the consensus has begun to change, especially as homeless encampments and overcrowded shelters pop up in communities across the country and wait times for medical treatments grow longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\">At <em>Maclean\u2019s<\/em>, we wanted to take a look at the implications of Canada\u2019s recent population surge in a special immigration-themed issue. Remarkably, in the eight months or so we\u2019ve been working on it, the population grew by another million: now there are 41 million people here. Justin Trudeau has said that the Liberals will now slow down the influx of newcomers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\">In this issue, you can see why that might be a good idea. The writer Stephen Maher examines the policies that brought us to 41 million, and Jordan Michael Smith investigates why asylum seekers sometimes end up sleeping on the streets. Danny Ramadan, an author and Syrian refugee, assesses the strengths and weaknesses of Canada\u2019s pioneering private sponsorship program, and Alex Cyr visits his home city of Charlottetown, which has transformed from a sleepy homogenous hamlet into a multicultural metropolis in less than a decade. The stories all show, in different ways, the significant challenges Canada is facing. Are the difficulties chronicled in this issue just short-term pain for long-term gain? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\">\u2014<em>Sarah Fulford, editor-in-chief<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block\">\n<div class=\"mod5050 __wrap__EOtgs ad-free-zone\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"aspect-square p-10 tablet:row-start-auto row-start-1\">\n<div class=\"img\"><img alt=\"Screenshot\" rel=\"prefetch\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1772\" height=\"1600\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:834px) 100vw,100vw\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_IMMIGRATION-THINKPIECE_ISTOCK-1772x1600.jpg&amp;w=640&amp;q=80 640w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_IMMIGRATION-THINKPIECE_ISTOCK-1772x1600.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;q=80 750w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_IMMIGRATION-THINKPIECE_ISTOCK-1772x1600.jpg&amp;w=828&amp;q=80 828w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_IMMIGRATION-THINKPIECE_ISTOCK-1772x1600.jpg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=80 1080w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_IMMIGRATION-THINKPIECE_ISTOCK-1772x1600.jpg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=80 1200w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_IMMIGRATION-THINKPIECE_ISTOCK-1772x1600.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=80 1920w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_IMMIGRATION-THINKPIECE_ISTOCK-1772x1600.jpg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=80 2048w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_IMMIGRATION-THINKPIECE_ISTOCK-1772x1600.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=80 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_IMMIGRATION-THINKPIECE_ISTOCK-1772x1600.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=80\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col items-center max-w-[500px] text-center\">\n<div class=\"text-sm leading-xm laptop:text-reg laptop:leading-smxl font-light font-serif text-grey-light mt-8\">For decades, Canada has been a model of inclusive immigration.
