Very cool, if true

Interesting factoid.

Canada relies on immigration to grow its population, and we need a constant supply, year after year, because once the immigrant families' children absorb the culture of Canada, they, too, reduce their number of children per woman to the (low) Canadian average. Their rent/mortgages are as high; their transportation costs are as high; their aspirations towards vacations and cottage having are as dearly held.

It may not be the first generation born in Canada, but by the fourth at the latest, it's done.

I found this information in Stats Canada about fifteen years ago when I was researching a presentation.
