The news networks predict that the Liberals will create another minority government after a 36-day campaign.
Due to pandemic-related difficulties such as longer lines at polling places and more Canadians opting to vote by mail, the final election results are expected to be delayed. The final results of federal elections are usually revealed the same night as the elections, but in this case, the official results are unlikely to be known until at least Tuesday.
A majority of at least 170 of the 338 seats in the Canadian Parliament is required. A majority government allows the ruling party to enact any legislative reforms it wants without the need for opposition backing. To enact laws and sustain power under minority administrations, the ruling party must work with the opposition.
After winning a majority in the 2015 election, the Liberal Party of Canada was relegated to a minority government after the 2019 election. Trudeau called an election two years before his government's four-year mandate was supposed to end in the hopes of regaining a majority.
The Liberals won 157 seats and 33.1 percent of the popular vote in the 2019 election, while the Conservatives received 34.3 percent of the vote but only 121 seats. The Liberals are expected to win a comparable number of seats in this election, according to projections.
As expected, the Conservatives will come in second, with the Bloc Quebecois and the New Democratic Party (NDP) completing out the top four.
Throughout the campaign, the Liberals and Conservatives alternated places in national polling in a battle that was extremely close. They are the only two political parties to have ever governed Canada since its founding in 1867.
Throughout the campaign, topics such as climate change, affordable housing, and economic recovery took precedence over immigration. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives, on the other hand, committed to expand immigration, alleviate the application backlog, and improve credential recognition.
What impact does election results have on Canada immigration?
Over the next few years, the election outcome should result in few substantial policy changes and shocks in Canadian immigration. Another Liberal minority should have little direct influence on immigration policy. Since 2019, the Liberals have been able to push through their immigration programme with little opposition or debate. Opposition parties have instead concentrated on holding the government accountable on other topics such as the pandemic response, economic and budgetary policies, and foreign affairs problems such as Canada's reaction to the Afghan conflict.
