Emigration rates have been soaring in Canada driven by the ongoing housing shortage and the cost-of-living crisis, a new report suggests. One province in particular accounted for nearly half of the departures.
Among the 81,601 people who left the country in 2024, 39,430 were from Ontario, a report from rental platform liv.rent said. Ontario is the most densely populated province in the nation, but its 48 percent share of departures is notably greater than its 39 percent share of Canada’s total population.
