QUICK FUN FACT ABOUT U.S IMMIGRATION
Historical dominance of U.S. citizens:
-
In the 1980s, nearly all U.S. immigrants to Canada were American citizens, with over 75% born and last residing in the U.S.
-
This share remained above two-thirds until the early 2010s.Rise of non-citizen U.S. residents
-
By 2019, 45% of U.S. immigrants to Canada were non-citizens (e.g., temporary workers, international students), quadrupling from 2,100 in 2016 to 9,310 in 2019.
-
Temporary-to-permanent transitions: U.S. citizens already in Canada as temporary residents (workers/students) accounted for 54% of inflows in 2017.
-
By 2023, most U.S. immigrants fell into this category or were non-citizen residents.
