Immigration targets have risen steadily in recent years. Last year, the government released a plan to grant permanent residency to 465,000 people in 2023, a figure that would rise to 500,000 by 2025.

The immigration target for 2015 was under 300,000.

The fact dollarama has 2000 people show up to interview for 2 openings tells me this isn't sustainable.

Is this true? The unemployment numbers are pretty low even after the interest hikes.

I've seen it 2 or 3 times myself in my own town. I can only imagine it's everywhere.
