Manoj Palwe on Quora Answering ...Is low population the reason for Canada being welcoming to immigrants?
Canada’s aging population,and not the low population is the main reason for Canada to welcome immigrants.
Canada needs immigrants as much as immigrants need Canada!!
If we take up the example of Canada, according to a recent data released by Statistics Canada:
* With the front-end of the baby boom generation having reached 65 in 2011, the population of Canada is aging;
* Canadian society is urbanizing as more people are living in mid-sized and large cities;
* One-person households are more, reflecting high divorce rates and longer life spans; and
* As Immigration continues to shape Canada's demographic profile, the population and workforce are becoming increasingly multi-ethnic.

The survey states that all of the above national-level trends are evident in B.C (British Columbia). The median age of British Columbians was 41.9 years by 2011. The median age has been steadily climbing for four decades. Twenty years ago, it was 34.7 and back in 1971, the typical B.C. resident was a youthful 28. Almost 700,000 were aged 65 and over out of the province's 4.4 million people in 2011.
An important demographic development that needs to be mentioned is immigration and the role it plays in re-shaping the population. Measured relative to the size of the existing population, Canada stands near the top in the number of immigrants admitted globally. Canada welcomes 240,000 to 260,000 permanent newcomers in an average year, not counting the inflows of student and foreign temporary workers. According to the 2011 census, immigrants comprise 26% of British Columbia's population; the proportion is much higher in the Lower Mainland — 41%.
The aforementioned statistics clearly display that with the average Canadian fast reaching the age of retirement, immigrants are the main driving force for Canada's economic growth. This is the factor that is fast-emerging as one of the main reasons for Canada or any other country opting for skilled professional immigrants.
