As revealed by Canada’s latest Immigration Levels Plan, released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on November 1 this year, Canada intends to welcome a significant number of immigrants over the next several years.
Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan is an annual release from IRCC that outlines the number of new permanent residents Canada aims to welcome in each of the next three years. The numbers provided each year break down targets by immigration class (Economic, Family Class, and Refugee/Humanitarian).
The Plan shows Canada’s strategy to increase the number of newcomers while balancing their needs with those of the existing population. For example, 60% of new permanent residents are economic class, meaning they are skilled workers who will contribute to the national economy.
Canada’s strategy is unique and contrasts the plans set forth by several other popular newcomer destinations such as the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, the United States (US) and New Zealand (NZ).
