Keep in mind this all happened while average Canadians, in particular, the unvaccinated have been locked down, prevented from travelling within the country, and not even allowed to leave the country.
Also, what do you think bringing over 400 000 people to this country every year does for housing prices and wages? I'll tell you. It elevates housing prices, and suppresses wages. It's called supply and demand. The ruling class continues to sell the average Canadian out to the highest bidder. The incentives are perverse, and to make matter worse, existing Canadians are forced to pay for the costs of this Mass Immigration initiative that greatly contributes to the hardships many Canadians already face.

"The number of people living in Canada rose by 1.2 per cent, or 457,888, to 38.5 million in 2021, according to Statistics Canada estimates released Thursday in Ottawa. That’s up from 160,273 the previous year, and closer to the record population-growth levels in the years before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most of the population gain came from international migration as the Canadian government eased most travel restrictions for those coming to the country for work, school or family reunification. Net international migration levels jumped to 400,176 last year, almost four times as many as in 2020.

In the final three months of 2021, population grew by 0.2 per cent, or 90,313. It’s the second biggest fourth-quarter population increase in the past three decades."
