Well, if you bring in 400k immigrants and build 400k housing units You’re probably not that much in a deficit since a lot of those immigrants will be families living together.
But as I understand it last year we brought in 1,000,000 immigrants and only built 250k housing units so every one of those immigrants would need to be a family of four just to fill those, let alone any increase in natural reproduction within Canada, so we very likely did have quite a deficit.

You got a source for that 1,000,000? Pretty sure it was quite literally the first number you put in the comment.
Your correct, I mistook the total growth of the country instead.. It was 440k immigrants contributing to the total growth of 1,000,000 people in Canada for 2022.
And it averages out to approximately 200k - 250k housing units per year.
