  • Region of Peel and City of Toronto Remain Top Destination For
    Centre for Urban Research and Land Development Region of Peel and City of Toronto Remain Top Destination for Millennials in 2020, Even as Many Flee in Search of More Affordable Housing By: Diana Petramala and Hannah Chan Smyth January 18, 2021 Statistics Canada released annual population estimates for Canadian major cities (approximated here by census divisions1) for July 1st, 2020. The data shows how the Millennial population in Canada changed between July 1st, 2019 and July 1st, 2020 (referred to as 2019/2020 from here on out). Millennials are defined as those who were born between 1981 and 1996 or were 24 to 39 years of age in 2020. The data shows that the pandemic curbed the growth in the Millennial population for most major cities across Canada. Figure 1: Net Permanent and Non-Permanent Immigration* for Millennials Moving to Canada between July 1st, 2019 and July 1st, 2020 160 140 120 2019/2020 100 2018/2019 80 60 40 20 Persons (000s) (000s) Persons 0 -20 -40 Net Permanent Immigration Non-Permanent Residence Source: CUR, based on Statistics Canada data. *Immigration less emigration.. On net, 130,000 Millennials immigrated to Canada in 2020, both on a temporary and permanent basis, down from 175,000 in 2019. This decline occurred because the pandemic led to fewer non-permanent residents aged 24 to 39 coming to Canada (Figure 1) as online learning at Canada’s major universities and colleges hit the foreign student population. Net permanent immigration of Millennials into Canada, however, had remained unscathed during that time. A total of 145,000 Millennials immigrated to Canada on a permanent basis, unchanged from the prior year.
