Shifting Political Allegiances Among Immigrants

Recent data reveals a notable shift in political affiliations among Canadian immigrants, particularly influenced by the duration of their residency in the country. While 37% of newcomers living in Canada for less than six years support the Liberal Party, this number drops to 26% among long-term residents, with 45% leaning towards the Conservative Party. Factors driving this change include dissatisfaction with current government policies regarding immigration and cost of living, as well as personal experiences faced since arriving in Canada. This evolution suggests that as immigrants become more integrated into Canadian society, their political preferences can significantly alter based on their lived experiences and interactions.
