Immigration News Canada has launched the Canada Permanent Resident Absorption Index, an online benchmark model designed to estimate how many permanent residents can be absorbed under current economic and demographic conditions across Canada and within each province and major census metropolitan area.
The full interactive index is now live at https://immigrationnewscanada.ca/canada-immigration-absorption-index/ and will determine the impact of expanding immigrant populations on the housing supply, rental housing, the labor market, healthcare and social services. The model estimates Canada’s current national stabilizing permanent resident threshold at approximately 239,700 permanent residents annually.
The index uses public data from organizations including Statistics Canada and the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. Its methodology, assumptions, formulas, sources, limitations, and feedback section are published directly on the index page.
“This index is our first public attempt to measure immigration absorption capacity in a transparent, benchmark-driven way,” said Kamal Deep Singh, founder of Immigration News Canada and a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant. “It is not intended to argue for or against immigration levels. It is designed to show where current labor, housing, affordability, service, and retention conditions suggest stronger or weaker absorption capacity.”
