Sending remittances from Canada: Trends, methods, costs, and economic benefits

I am interested in the phenomenon of immigrants in Canada sending remittances to their home countries. In my research, I would like to investigate cultural and personal reasons for remittances, the institutions used, and the fees charged to users. I also intend to analyze the short- and long-term economic consequences of remittance outflow on the Canadian economy. As of 2023, immigrants in Canada total about 20% of the population with 807 million USD in remittances sent from the country as of 2021. Therefore, this research would be quite helpful in further migration studies and policies, assisting them with up-to-date data analysis and theoretical foundations that can be implemented in practice.
