Join us for a webinar exploring the latest data on immigration, including the number of new citizens, permanent residents and study permit holders. We will also explore who is applying for citizenship and the growing reality of dual citizenship in Canada.
Drawing on recent administrative records, 2021 Census findings, and new national survey data from December 2025, this session offers a look at how identity, belonging, and citizenship are evolving across the country.
With over 3.7 million Canadians - more than 11% of the population - now holding dual citizenship, this trend is reshaping communities, service needs, and integration pathways. For organizations working in the immigrant and settlement sector, understanding these shifts is essential.
The webinar will unpack:
- Origins of Canada’s dual citizens
- Recent trends on citizenship applications
- Increasing interest in dual citizenship, especially among immigrants and younger Canadians
- Changing perceptions of national identity and belonging in a globalized world
