Why Are So Many People Leaving Canada Now?

Canada's real estate market is facing a new challenge: the alarming trend of people and capital leaving Canada at unprecedented rates. Will this have an impact on housing? According to recent data from Statistics Canada, 106,000 people left the country for good in 2024, marking one of the highest outflows on record. Ontario, in particular, saw a significant exodus of non-permanent residents. This trend isn't limited to people; capital is also fleeing the country, with foreign and domestic investors offloading billions in Canadian securities and firms sending substantial amounts abroad. While the raw numbers seem high, as a percentage of the total population, this outflow is still below historical long-term averages. The episode explores the implications of these trends for Canada's economic future, highlighting the interconnectedness between population changes and economic health. The potential reversal in population growth and its impact on GDP per capita is discussed, alongside concerns about the loss of confidence in Canada's economic model. Viewers are encouraged to consider what these trends mean for their own decisions about staying in Canada or advocating for necessary economic reforms.
