Canada's most popular cities for immigration during a pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed investor preferences when choosing properties. Speaking about internal migration, as well as the purchase of residential properties by foreign investors, the following are the most popular regions:

• Vancouver and its surroundings;
• British Columbia;
• Halifax;
• Nova Scotia.

In these areas, the number of visitors exceeds the number of those who want to leave the territory by an average of 10%. However, this trend is not observed everywhere.

Cities with the highest outflow of residents

The regions where residents often leave rather than move there include:

• Montreal and its surroundings - inflow is -21% per year;
• Greater Toronto - inflow -12.2%;
• Hamilton - about -19%;
• London - almost -8%.

Such a choice is usually associated with the technological development of the region, the presence of large companies for employment, and the quality of infrastructure.
