: Canadian Immigration Blawg'Canada's luster lost' (for Europeans anyway)
By immlawyer
Interesting article from the Warsaw Business Journal that discusses the drop in European immigration to Canada, and the loss of Canada's 'luster':
...
During the past five years, European immigration to Canada has dwindled, even as overall immigration to Canada has been on the rise. According to a Statistics Canada survey, Canada is now home to its largest population of new Canadians in 75 years, with 1.1 million newcomers arriving between 2001 and 2006.
Of these, Europeans accounted for just 16.1 percent of newcomers, far fewer than those from Asian and Middle Eastern countries and down from 60 percent 30 years ago. The decline in the number of Poles relocating to Canada reflects the steady decline in European immigration to the country.

A second factor affecting the trend is the increasing pull from within Europe. Following the European Union's enlargement in 2004, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Ireland have all opened their borders to Polish workers.
A third factor is migrants' desires to remain close to their families. Since Canada is such a great distance from Poland, many find it too far to travel. By contrast, travel within Europe has become cheap and convenient. Poles no longer need to go halfway around the globe when they can fly to the UK and find a job that fits their skills.
