As an educated young professional who emigrated from Canada, car dependency and low density cities were major reasons I left. Suburban sprawl is a prison without a car, and I have no intentions of driving. With that said, I clearly don't fit the profile in the article perfectly, since most of my fellow emigrants are going to the US, which has those same issues.

#10Bad faith article that makes no mention of the TFWP and LMIA changes which is at least 20,000 individuals
Edit: Also, the population of Canada has grown significantly (see: Century Initiative)
As a percentage of total population, net migration is the same today as it was in 2011, and lower than it was 1991-2011.
