Changing Populations
Understanding Canada's Population Growth
- Key Terms
- Emigration: The number of immigrants moving into a country per 1000 people
- Emigrant: A person who leaves one country to move to another country
- Birth Rate: The number of births in a population per year per 1000
- Immigration Rate: The number of immigrants moving into a country per 1000 people
- Immigrant: A person who moves to one country from another country
- Natural Increase Rate: The birth rate minus the death rate
- Demography: The study of human population
- Net Migration Rate: The immigration rate minus the emigration
- Death Rate: The number of deaths in a population per 1000 people
- Population Growth Rate: The natural increase rate plus the net migration rate
- Doubling Time: The lenght of time for a country's population to double at a particular growth rate
- Rule of 70: A simple calculation to estimate doubling time. Calculate by dividing 70 by the population growth rate
- Formulas
- Birth Rate= Number of births per year divided by the population times 1000
- Death Rate: Number of deaths per year divided by the population times 1000
- Natural Increase Rate per 1000= Birth Rate/ 1000 - Death Rate/ 1000
- Natural Increase Rate %= Birth Rate/ 1000 - Death Rate/ 1000 x 100
- Net Migration Rate= Immigration Rate- Emigration Rate
- Net Migration Rate %= Immigration Rate/ 1000 - Emigration Rate/ 1000 x100
- Population Growth Rate= Natural Increase Rate + Net Migration Rate
- Doubling Time= 70/ Population Growth Rate

Immigration
- Immigrates essay
- Immigrants. They have become a major part of Canada with 320,000 new immigrants coming to Canada in 2016, which Is the highest number since 1971 (Grant, 2016). With an increasing number of immigrants comes an increasing number of issues surrounding immigrants- in particular, how many immigrants should we let in? Should we be increasing or decreasing our current number? Well, yes, indeed we should be increasing our numbers (not drastically but we have room to increase to number of immigrants). 96% of Canadas population either are immigrants or their family was immigrants- we are a culture founded on immigrants and are a demonstrator on how people of all cultures can live in peace and harmony. We should be celebrating this and continuing to accept people of all cultures to enrich our country in diversity even further- To quote our prime minister Justin Trudeau, ‘Diversity is Canada’s strength’. (Trudeau, 2015)
- Think about it, if we had greatly reduced the number of refugees in the past then where would we be now? In addition, Canada has been an asset to other countries because we are a place where people of all cultures, religions, races and faiths can live together in peace and harmony. This is something that we, as Canadians, should be extremely proud of, and should strive to continue to be a diverse country, instead of start reducing the number of people allowed in our country. Violence, disaster and social justice issues caused the refugee number to reach 60 million people in 2015 for the first time ever (Domonoske, 2016). Global warming is causing us to see stronger and more frequent hurricanes than before, more severe flooding while other areas suffer from devastating droughts, and many countries remain war torn, while others are in war on the edge of it- all these are factors for the increasing number of refugees and will be the reasons for many more yet to come.
- The UN universal declaration of our human rights state: ‘Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.’ (UN, 1948) Does this not mean that those in countries currently undergoing a crisis, such as war, have a right to leave as their life, liberty and security of person as well as their safety are all at risk? And do we, as a country, not have the responsibility to help those in dire situations? Not only does it go against our responsibilities as a part of humanity to just turn our back on those whose lives are at risk, but it also means that we aren’t offering them their proper human rights, and instead by forcing them to stay, may end up indirectly causing their death. Now obviously refugees are not the only cause if immigration to Canada, but refugees made up 46,700 of the nearly 300 000 immigrants to Canada in 2016, which is almost 1/6 (Puzic, 2017) of the immigrants in 2016.
- However, despite the high number of refugees in Canada in 2016, many more were refused and this must change. Refugees are people, just like us, and, just like us, they deserve human rights too. Let’s face it: Our global population is increasing. And until we reach our maximum possible population, it will continue increasing. All these people will need homes, and a country with a population density of only 3.7 people per square kilometer (Statistics Canada, 2016), we have the space to take in more people. Many may say that accepting immigrant’s costs money and raises unemployment with lower wages for everyone, but this is in fact far from the truth. First off, more people wouldn’t raise unemployment because more people naturally means more jobs will have to be done.
- So, in conclusion, increasing our number of immigrants increase our diversity and helps us to be a more accepting and culturally rich country; increasing our number of refugees is part of our responsibility as humans and a country who can help the less fortunate; and increasing our number of immigrants boosts our economy and has very little disadvantages.
