The Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Thursday that more than 10,000 settlers relocated from the occupied territories to Canada this year.
It said 7,850 Israelis applied for and received a work visa in Canada in 2024, noting that the figure shows a five-fold Increase compared to the previous year.
In 2023, 1,585 Israelis received a work visa in Canada, the report added.
It further said that the primary motivations for the immigration include Israel's shaky political and security situation, as well as heightened conflict, perceived social injustices, and the Tel Aviv regime's failure to address critical issues.
According to the latest data from the Canadian Ministry of Immigration, 3,425 temporary work visas and 4,424 regular work permits were approved for Israelis between December 2023 and the end of September 2024.
Earlier this week, the Ynet news website cited figures from Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), revealing a surge in the number of Israeli settlers choosing to live outside the occupied lands, even before the regime launched its brutal Gaza onslaught more than 13 months ago.
Since early October 2023, Israel has been waging brutal two-front aggression that has killed at least 43,736, people in the besieged Gaza Strip and 3,386 others in Lebanon so far.
In support of the oppressed Palestinians and Lebanese, resistance groups in the region have launched retaliatory attacks on Israeli targets and vowed to keep fighting until the regime stops its killing machine.
The retaliatory attacks have displaced almost 70,000 settlers from the northern part of the occupied territories.
