Summary
A new Canadian study found that immigrants are increasingly adopting Canada's record-low fertility patterns, with even refugee groups now having birth rates below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman. The findings suggest that immigration alone cannot provide a long-term solution to population aging, as fertility among immigrants continues to decline, particularly among economic migrants.

Researchers noted that 97% of Canada's recent population growth has come from immigration, while the number of births has remained stagnant. They argue that immigration can only slow demographic decline temporarily, not reverse it. Instead, raising the birth rate will depend on more families choosing to have children for a variety of personal reasons rather than through a single large pro-natalist policy.

The article also highlights political implications, finding that areas with larger families tend to vote more Conservative. At the same time, surveys show many childless women still hope to have an average of 2.2 children, indicating a significant gap between fertility aspirations and actual birth rates.
