The graph provides data on the number of people who migrated to and from Canada since 2005 to 2015.
The number of immigrants were always greater than the number of emigrants. Infact, there is a significant gap between their figures. Surprisingly, this gap was consistently in the range of 150 to 200 thousand.
The line charts for immigration and emigration have a lot of similarities. They follow similar trends. We can see a positive trend from 2005 to 2006, a negetive trend from 2006 to 2007 and a positive trend from 2007 to 2009. However, there are differences too. For example, from 2009 to 2010, immigration and emigration had a negetive trend but the numbers for immigration recovered. The same cannot be said for emigration. Their numbers continued to decline for one more year. The only other noticable difference is from 2012 to 2013. During this period the figure for immigration shows an upward trend but the figure for emigration seems to have plateaued.
Overall, Canada seems to be a favourable country to live in. The number of foreigners who prefer to immigrate in Canada is far greater than the number of Canadians who wish to leave it.
