Nearly 40% of new immigrants thinking of moving due to Canada's high housing costs: poll

Canada's high cost of housing has nearly 40 per cent of the country’s new immigrants thinking about moving to another province — or even out of the country altogether, according to a new poll.

Respondents to the poll by the Angus Reid Institute were most likely to say that, if they did leave the province they are now in, they’d head for Alberta.

But it’s not just new immigrants that are ready to move to find a better deal on housing. The survey found that, among all Canadians, 28 per cent are giving serious consideration to leaving their province because of high housing costs.

Global's Alissa Thibault has the details.
