This is probably true although the Millennial cohort isn't that small and our society today still has a mix with relatively substantial Canadian-born populations. It takes a lifetime to fully shift the population after changing immigration policy.
I wonder what it will do to social cohesion in the future to have both age gaps and a gap between Canadian-born and foreign-born.
I also wonder how some Canadian issues like indigenous rights will change as a result of immigration. Right now we've got some portions of society making at times politically disconnected and ostentatious demands focused on European settlers. Somebody who moved here from Asia 10 years ago isn't necessarily going to feel the same connection.
