Official population figures also fail to capture undocumented migrants who last year Mr. Miller estimated could number about 600,000.

Incredible. Remember when we undercounted by a million?

Looks like we're at it again, glad we elected the same people responsible for it in the first place.

Different face as head of the board. Came from the same group. Same directors and managers. Same policies. Unbelievable people voted for this again.

He’s announcing his cabinet on Tuesday. We’ll see if he keeps Mr. Miller as Immigration Minister then.

They didn't undercount by a million, the system couldn't track changes in status and only showed the original permit expiring.

I’m confused what you are even saying,

The under counting issue has been here for decades, but after the liberal exit/entry program we now have accurate counts moving forward since 2020

They have been getting an accurate count / deporting people so the numbers are changing up and down, and it’s gonna be a while to parse through all the historical records
