The study found the number of Canadians living abroad relative to the national population was five times higher than the U.S.

A new report lends insight into Canadians who leave the country, estimated to number around four million in 2016, or about 11 per cent of the population according to Statistics Canada.

More than one in ten people in a single year?

I don't think I know a single person in all my life who moved out of Canada.

Are they all movie stars or millionaires?

Yeah, the only people I know who have permanently left Canada had some tax-related issues they didn't want to deal with, so moved to Central America. The only other Canadians I know who moved to Europe were people who came from Europe, had their kids here, then went back.
