A lot of immigrants work in construction.

I could only find stats for Ontario. Immigrants work construction at the roughly the same rate as non-immigrants. About 26% of construction workers are immigrants, while 29% of the population is foreign born.

I stand corrected. Yeah, I hadn't actually heard that, but you'd expect it would attract immigrants. Construction unions are pretty strong in Canada, so maybe that balances it out.

You'd expect that it would have a neutral-ish impact on long-term housing supply as it is, then.
