CMHC Report:
Net migration is expected to remain strong in 2008. Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia will continue to attract the bulk of the international immigrants. B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan will attract a large number of inter-provincial migrants from the rest of Canada. Canada’s population is aging, and as a result, a smaller proportion of people are in their child bearing years and thus the birth rate is decreasing. High immigration levels will slow the average aging of the population, however, the rate of increase in the natural population (births - deaths) is slowing. This will eventually lessen the demand for additional housing stock in the longer term.
