What are the reasons for the decrease of new immigrants in Canada in recent five years?

Canadians have always been favored by China people, whether they are tourists or immigrants. But in recent years, tourists have increased, while immigrants have decreased. What is it? Come and have a look with me.

In the past five years, the number of tourists from China to Canada has increased rapidly, reaching nearly 550,000 in 20 17, but the number of immigrants and naturalized Canadians from China has decreased year after year. People in the tourism industry remind that 20 18 is the "Canada-China Tourism Year", and the number of tourists visiting China will increase greatly. Tourists with plans should apply as soon as possible.

Recently, Shannon Kerr, spokesman of Canadian Federal Immigration Department, provided data that the number of Canadian tourists with temporary residence visas increased year after year from 20 13 to 20 17. There were 269,940 person-times in 20 13 and 547,027 person-times in 20 17. In five years, the number of tourists to China has doubled.

May to August is the peak period for the Federal Immigration Department to issue tourist visas every year. From June, 2065438 to June, 2007, 28,724 visas were issued to China tourists, which increased to 69 133 in May and remained at about 50,000 visas per month from June to September.

On October 20 17,110, the new visa centers opened by the Federal Immigration Department in seven cities in China were officially opened, and the number of tourist visas issued increased slightly compared with previous years.

A tourism practitioner said that 20 18 is the "Canada-China Tourism Year", and the number of tourists will increase substantially. At present, the hotel accommodation price has risen slightly. He reminded tourists who plan to go to Canada on 20 18 to apply for visas and sign up for tour groups at least one month in advance.

Data from the Federal Immigration Department also show that the number of immigrants and naturalized people from China has been decreasing year by year. In 20 14, the number of new immigrants from China approved by the Federal Immigration Department was 33,893, which was reduced to 30,997 in 20 16.

In terms of naturalization, the number of China immigrants who became Canadian new citizens decreased from 20 1657, 20 10797 and 20 17 to 5,999. After 20 13, China is no longer the country with the largest number of immigrants or naturalized people.
