The answer to this question is yes. One plus one is equal to two. I've looked at the numbers in my own province, Quebec, and I've been able to estimate how many more people in the province of Quebec have been added to the total population relative to what the population would have been if the rate of immigration before 2016 had continued unchanged.
The answer is that from 2022 to 2025, the population of Quebec has increased, due to this immigration policy, by 500,000. Mind you, 500,000 people suddenly in a province like that means something for the housing market. Of course, those guys have to be able to find a place to sleep at night.
Yes, of course, the migratory explosion has had this huge consequence on the housing market. There's no doubt about this. It's just a matter of being able to add one plus one.
