TABE Webinar: The Evolution of Immigration Policy & Economic Impacts Ahead

In recent years, Canada’s immigration policy has fuelled population growth & aggregate demand. However, the infrastructure to support this growth has not kept pace.
In this webinar, we will address why immigration is so important to Canada, how immigration policy has evolved and strategies to ensure Canada’s immigration policy remains resilient. We will also quantify how immigration will shape housing markets and the economic outlook for 2026 & beyond
