The global immigration services market and the market is estimated to experience a growth at a CAGR of around 5% during the forecast period 2021-2027. The market growth is majorly attributed to increasing importance to mobility. The industrial growth is supported by rise in demand for foreign talents from the countries like US, UK, Canada and others. However, strict immigration laws by regional governments hinders the growth of the global marketplace. 

In its recent announcement on immigration plans, Canada is expecting around 1,233,000 new permanent residents over the next three years, i.e., by 2023 to help in economic recovery after the hit of pandemic. As per the survey conducted by Word Education Services (WES), Canadian immigration industry is witnessing an increasing interest in immigration. 

Internal demographic factors drive the demand for immigrants in Canada. The country has an aging population and a low birth rate. As per the statistics, by 2030, more than 9 million baby boomers will reach the age of retirement and the birth rate in the country is ~1.6 babies per couple, which is considered as low when it should be 2.1 to maintain the size of current Canadian population. Due to COVID-19, birth rate in Canada may witness a decline due to the economic uncertainty.  

Hence, the combination of issues such as demographic, lack of talent availability in domestic region and increasing wages are boosting the demand of immigrants, turning into growth of the global immigration services market.
