Why is Canada becoming favorite for migrants instead of Australia?

More than 500,000 temporary visa holders have left Australia since the beginning of the pandemic, according to government figures, but even more are considering moving due to narrowing permanent residency pathways, long wait times for visas, and the lack of government support during the pandemic.

Strict requirements for permanent residency and a lack of government support during the coronavirus pandemic has prompted some temporary migrants in Australia to look elsewhere to build a life.
