New lands of immigrants are Australia and Canada who will have combined 100+ million within 35 years

Australia has just passed 25 million people. They currently grows by 1 new person every 83 seconds. By 2020 they will reach a population of 26 million, in 2030 a population of 30 million, and by 2048 Australia’s population will be over 40 million. Australia has immigration levels of about 190,000 per year.

The USA currently has a legal immigration quota of 675,000.

Canada and Australia are using selective immigration to grow their populations.

If Canada and Australia maintain immigration levels at 0.8 to 1.0% of population, then they would exceed the overall annual immigration numbers of the USA around 2030.

Foreign born resident are about 29% of Australia’s population. The US has about 14% foreign born. Canada has 23% foreign born.

Canada currently has 37 million people.

Canada is boosting immigration from 290,000 in 2017 up to 340,000 in 2020. This puts Canada on track to 40 million people in 2023.

Canada’s population will now track closer to a population forecast at this link.

Canada’s population will be

2023   40 million
2032   45 million
2040   50 million
2049   55 million
2056   60 million
2064   65 million

Canada will have the projected population of Spain in 2032 and Italy in 2050 and Germany in 2070.

  1. unless they start accepting about 3 times as many immigrants, those numbers for total population are WAY off. Won’t be even close to that high that fast either of them.

  3. I’m not sure which country your comment applies to, but it certainly doesn’t describe what is happening in Sydney and Melbourne. Knocking down suburban houses and putting up units has become the national sport here. We have more sprawl on the edges (on tiny blocks with no back yard) plus infill development in middle suburbs, plus poorly constructed high-rise towers with tiny apartments in the inner core. That’s what happens when 120,000 people per year move to a city of 4.5 million.

  7. Time to let them in via skills testing regardless of PC racial profiling and cut the total per year to below 200,000.

    And the temp workers — H1Bs — just them. No families. We are not in the ‘sneak some more anchor babiers in via H1Bs’.

  8. One problem with skilled workers is that the education that got them their degree or credential may not be at the same level as the country they are immigrating into. As such, they are often blocked from performing their skilled occupation.

    For the US, I think the best option is to try to hang on to students who got their degrees in the US, or get them back after they moved back to where they came from.

    We also need to build more universities that cater to the needs of specific countries with lots of talented youth and limited educational opportunities. India is an excellent example. We could build large universities that have lots of Indian food in the cafeterias some Indian influenced architecture, etc., but have all of our educational standards and primarily English language instruction, though there may also be classes conducted in Indian languages for those getting up to speed. Focus on bang for the buck. And STEM degrees.

  9. Vuukle flops again. I attempted to comment and it said it failed and to refresh and try again. When I do it says my comment is the same as my previous and blocks it.

  10. You have it all wrong. Developers aren’t allowed to build anything because NIMBY suburban homeowners block any new development in their neighborhoods with zoning regulations. They do this to artificially restrict the supply of housing to jack up prices for their own benefit. There’s been endless urban sprawl, suburbanization and no appreciable increase in vertical density for at least half a century. All this low-density sprawl ensures people have to spend hours commuting in congested highways rather than walking, biking, or using land-efficient transit in vertically dense cities. The fact our immigration system doesn’t allow in the people who are needed to do the unskilled menial labour we all rely on (or even the educated skilled workers who invent entire industries) isn’t the fault of American entrepreneurs and employers. The restrictions placed on immigration make the restrictions placed on housing look tame by comparison.

  11. Densification and zoning reform is an absolute must. The engines of economic opportunity, higher productivity, higher-wages, dynamism and upward social mobility have always been cities. Internal labour migration is at an all time low and rent in large cities is at an all time high because we are not allowed to build new housing. You wouldn’t have had the incredible boom in immigration and prosperity during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries if modern zoning codes existed. This forces people to live in low-cost, low-wage rural states.

  12. Israel’s population growth is rapid, but it’ll be from the high birth rate not immigration. Israel has an average birth rate of 3.1 per family. There are 170,000 births in Israel every year, around 40,000 deaths per year and only around 30,000 new immigrants per year (0.4% of the population each year, compared to the 1.7% annual growth rate). Between 2018 and 2048, the population of Israel will grow from 8.8 million to 15.2 million. By 2059 the population may be 18 million. By 2065 there are population estimates at 20 million people.

  13. Australia is dropping its immigration intake to about 160,000 people next year. So, net 80,000 increase I think.

    As well as the inability to build new infrastructure quickly enough, there is a reluctance to release new land, build vertically and with enough density to make things like new train lines economically viable.

  14. Both Canada and Australia are premium locations for technology investment. Neither country has a hiring quota for unqualified and incapable.

  15. What about Israel? Israel has tripled it’s population through Jewish Immigration in the last 70 years. Immigrants are from the North Africa, Middle East, Iran, Iraq, the Soviet Union, England, France, Germany, Eastern Europe, Canada, South America, The US, and such backward morally primitive countries as California (Los Angeles, and San Francisco Areas). If you are Jewish, It is time to come home to your true Homeland of Israel.

  16. That’s the way it is headed, but many residents of Sydney and Melbourne dread such a future. Roads, trains, hospitals, schools are all overcrowded and it’s impossible to build new infrastructure at a rate that keeps up with the growth. Freeways are busy by 6am and peak hour lasts all day now. It’s a population ponzi scheme that benefits property developers and employers who illegally exploit underpaid immigrant labour. A future of megacities full of poor people living in tiny apartments, with the traditional suburban backyard becoming a privilege of the wealthy. Some of the most expensive real estate in the world and high rates of homelessness.
