Ontario retains more of its newly-arrived immigrants through the Federal Skilled Worker<\/a> (FSW) program,\u00a0 <\/span>Provincial Nominee Program<\/a> (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class<\/a> (CEC) immigration than any other Canadian province, reveals a Statistics Canada report.<\/p>\n

In their The Provincial Nominee Program: Retention in Province of Landing<\/i>, report, Statistics Canada\u2019 Garnett Picot, Eden Crossman and Feng Hou looked at the retention rates for immigrants who arrived in Canada in 2010 and in 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When those groups of immigrants are combined and their one-year and five-year retention rates are examined, Ontario emerges as being the province the most likely to hang onto its newcomers.<\/p>\n

\u201cRetention rate among economic immigrants aged 20 to 54 at landing, by years since landing, 2010 to 2019 cohorts combined was highest in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, and lowest in Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and New Brunswick,\u201d note the report\u2019s authors.<\/p>\n

\u201cLonger-term retention rates are also informative. In Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, relatively few nominees left the province five years after the landing year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not only is Ontario more likely to hang onto its immigrants, but it also attracts other immigrants who have landed in other parts of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the end of the first full year following the landing year, Ontario had 23 per cent more provincial nominees than were in the province during the landing year – a net retention rate of 123 per cent,\u201d reveals the report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBy the end of the fifth year following the landing year, Ontario had 56 per cent more nominees – a net retention rate of 156 per cent. The gains were due to inflows of nominees from other provinces, combined with relatively low outflows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince Edward Island had the lowest, one-year immigrant retention rate of any province. The Atlantic Canadian province was also the one most likely to see immigrants move after their arrival during the time period of the study, a trend which some data suggest may have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
