There is not enough young people out there for many of these countries to import.

Canada is a much better destination than Germany. Peter is not saying that Canada will become a deadzone overnight. Would you not consider Australia as a destination as well. What is your professional field?

High taxes on lower workers is one way of destroying the birth rate. Most young people in such a system realize that they cannot afford to have children and will leave it off until they feel they have a better economic situation but if you study the field you will realize that it never gets better economically. Many will be in their thirties paying rent with no ability to buy a home or start a family. They tend to work unusual hours and more hours to just break even and it is happening to both men and women at the exact same time. Every European country has gone through this exact same transition and the results are predictable every time. Yet when you point it out to people that are in power they will just not care.

@thomasherrin6798 None of the regions of the UK or Ireland has that sort of time or luxury to settle their problems. Ireland has no natural resources of significance that would allow it to function independently. Ireland only produces about 20% of its energy which is nowhere near where it needs to be. So what is more than likely to happen to the UK and Ireland is that the world will pass them by before they realize what they should have done. Irish culture is also so heavily invested into the EU project that it will be collapsing and they will still be out selling its virtues of a gone by era.

The Canadian system focuses on skilled workers that have college degrees and 10 to 15 years of post qualified experience. Most will not own a home until they are in Canada several years. I know this may not seem important but it will most certainly have an impact on the birth rate. For Canada to survive it really needs to now start having several children per birth age women which is impossible at this point. Canadian immigration is also too small to deal with the scale of the demographics trap that Canada is in. I will ask you a question do you think that Canada is capable of doing it right which means lowering the skills requirements for immigrants so that the numbers coming in would be focused on young people?

@AJourneyOfYourSoul Why did so many vote for Trudeau? That question is easy to answer most voters are doing so by a public image they see through the medium of TV.

That is all pure fantasy see.

Morgan Allen The whole catholic population thing in Ireland is very misleading as there is no such religion as Protestantism but even putting that aside Ireland is not a country that is active it tends to be passive and reactive to the world. The republic of Ireland's biggest problem is that it is too heavily invested in the EU project. The EU will be collapsing and Ireland as a culture will still be pushing the EU as some sort of virtue. The whole of the media class and political class in Ireland are pro EU. There is simply no sceptaism of the EU on any significant level in Ireland. It is so bad in Ireland that the country gave up its fishing waters which is as value as Norwegian oil.

@MrBradogg I am afraid you are wrong the poisonous kangaroos are allergic to beach's, pools and women in bikini's. Every person who has been infected by those Kangaroos have to go through a detox sunbathing program and moderate amounts of cocktails and ice cream. Summer is a tough period in Australia especially around Sydney with all those young men with their tops off and women in tight shorts.

@dm1943 Those STEM workers as you call them are just running technical systems for corporations with fancy titles.

That is part of the problem a college graduate with work experience is not a young person they are mostly approaching late twenties. Current system is focused on college graduates with professional experience and 10 years post college work experience. By the time they arrive in Canada they are in their thirties and then have to start all over again. Those immigrants are leaving it very late to have children.

That is not exactly the reason why real estate in Canada has gone outside the realm of local buyers but it does contribute to it. The real reason is that Canada is simply not building enough properties and has regulated its self to the point that it is super expensive to build new prosperities. A cluster of flies would nearly stop a housing development today for weeks or indefinitely.
1
@acz88 Even the regions in Canada that are not seeing the migrant influx are having price pressures in real estate. There is simply not enough building of new properties. There is 200,000 homes a year being built in Canada that is not enough for a country with 5 million people aged from 20 to 30 years of age. To over come the shortage there needs to be 600,000 homes a year completed for a period of about 10 years. There are currently 14 million private dwellings in Canada.

Who are they every going to sell this hydrogen to?

That is fantasy. Canadian immigration is based on high skilled college graduates. It is not low skilled working in a sewage system.
1
The problem canada has as well is its immigration is too focused on highly skilled workers. That means the types of people that are attracted are college educated with 10 to 15 years post college work experience. Well guess what that is not young immigration. Canada needs to change its immigration to take in lower and medium skilled workers that are young and motivated to succeed. They need to lower the requirements so as to attracted 20 to 25 years olds that want to make a life in Canada. That also means they need to be single with no family back home.

@roboatnick6178 In the developed world the US, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and a few other countries do not have anywhere near the demographics that Canada is experiencing. I am not suggesting refugees because they sit in a form of immigration limbo for decades. I am suggesting Canada sets a number that they need and then open up the system with a focus on 18 to 24 year olds that can work. Some will be semi skilled with a few years of experience others will be completely skilled. Take a European that has left school at 16 has worked in a factory for a few years and has college certs from that work experience. I do not feel that this is something that can be achieved politically as nobody is willing to talk the truth in Canada.

Schwab is a failed academic politician, Bill Gates is really rich and probably bored and Club of Rome is just a think that many will virtue signal towards but then ignore in the real world.

By tech workers what you are really talking about is service based workers that are really glorified technicians.

Nonsense. Capitalism is the very thing that allowed Americans to have families and a startd of living in the 1950s and 1960s that even European countries do not have today. Every country that has gone down what you call a hybrid route of socialism and capitalism is really a welfare state economy. To fund that economy it means young workers have to work longer weeks to pay for that system. Those younger workers cannot get married when they are trying to support older population through a welfare system. Germany and UK lead the way on this model and both of them are the first to really fall of a cliff economically.

@Lucas-hb1uq Capitalism has produced a booming population in places like the US, Australia and New Zealand. US had a baby boom in 1950s that is why numbers were high in that period. It was four children per women in the 1950s and in the period of the 1940s it was less than two children, In the 1930s it was 2.1 children per women. Social programs cost money and that means taxes have to be taken from people to fund those programs. DO not take my meaning to imply that no national government programs should exist but they do have a cost to them.

The reason is that Denmark is not interested in attracting value added immigrants. Most of the immigration is centered around ethics and social values and not economics. Denmark needs to focus on young workers with families and moderate skill levels to arrive and to hit the ground running with work. If Denmark wants its birth rate to correct it will need to change its economic policy away from a welfare state model and towards a worker reward economy that focuses on young people.

@dixonhill1108 England will not thrive if it does not do the right thing. The UK needs to get its head from out underneath it self.

The point is that the enclaves on top of an existing fractured culture of Canada is not going to help.

Older people do not consume at the same levels as young people. That is a 100% economic fact that does not change no matter what country you travel to. Immigrants into canada are older and most will be in their thirties and will require several years to integrate economically. Most will not be buying homes and will be renting which will take away property from young canadians trying to get started in life and will push their opportunities of starting a family out further. The whole things is self feeding and will destroy parts of the economy you do not expect.

it is impossible for the vast majority to be in age bracket of 25-29. The basic requirements for the visa is having qualifications such as a degree, several years work experience and professional membership. Realistically it is people that have attended college for 4 years, have 3 years vocational work training and then several years of professional work experience. One of the very few qualification sets that would not need to meet those types of requirements would be nursing as their 4 year college qualification is also their professional qualification.

@ImHavingaCoronary I would say very few of those students actually get to stay on because they do not meet the points requirements as part of a skills visa.

The young are not having children in Japan and they simply do not matter politically. They can whine all they want but it will make no difference. Many do not even understand that China would conquer them in heat beat if they could get away with it. They can fantasise all they want about America forcing them into this or that but it is all meaningless.

So will the move mean that a person who moves to Canada will have to wait before buying a house?
1
@beckyconstantinides2546 Canada does not build enough houses to meet the demand. 200,000 houses a year is not enough. There are currently 5 million Canadians between the ages of 20 to 30 in Canada. Your policy will not work.

The problem is that the immigrants are not having large families.
1
@Alain.Robert No the first generation are not either. They are too old and too busy trying to get established in Canada. Everybody is imagining these immigrants as young people straight out of highschool when in fact they are all in their thirties with their best years behind them.
