The provided graph illustrates the number of immigrants and emigrants in thousands to Canada as a line graph. A bar chart representation reports net migrations between 2005 and 2015.
The number of immigrations to Canada was 450 thousand in 2005, which reached approximately half a million in the following year. Following the same pattern, the emigration rate rose by 25 thousand and stood at 325 thousand in 2006. While both had a slight decrease, there was not a noticeable change in net migrations up to 2007.
More foreigners became interested in Canada as oppose to Canadians, who tended to leave their country, leading to growth in both groups by 2009. According to the data, the emigration rate fluctuated in the following years and stood at 400 thousand by the end of 2015.
The difference between the number of arrivals and abandons peaked in 2011 that stood exactly at 200 thousand. Surging moderately, people who accomodated in Canada contributed by 600 thousand to the population in 2015, whereas net migrations declined to below 150 thousand.
Overall, both immigration and emigration statistics followed an upward trend, while the number of arrivals was significantly more than abandons. This difference reached its highest in 2011 and was one-fifth of a million.
