Key Points
- Changes in Canadian immigration policies are expected to lead to population declines and rapid corrections in shelter costs in areas like British Columbia and Ontario.
- Despite adding 500,000 people to its population this year, Canada has not seen a corresponding increase in new businesses, indicating a weak economy.
- Older Canadians are increasingly using reverse mortgages to tap into their home equity, with a significant rise in reverse mortgage debt reported by the end of August 2024.
