Canada is a hotspot for South African emigrants, with thousands flocking to major urban centres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per Canada’s latest census in 2021<\/a>, 51,590 South Africans live in the North American country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These numbers could have since grown, as John Dunn, Citizenship and Immigration Director, Sable International, said that Canada was one of the top five countries that South Africans emigrated to in 2023 – alongside Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More South Africans could soon make the move, with Dunn noting that the outcome of the National elections will determine the South African emigration numbers in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada is a popular destination for South African emigrants and also needs skilled workers to maintain its economy as it has one of the world\u2019s oldest populations and lowest birth rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
