19,000 Immigrants Welcomed In Canada For June

When the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus made its way to Canada, the country decided to put a lockdown on all of the borders to help stop the spread of this deadly virus. Only those people who were frontliners and those who were considered to be doing essential travel were allowed to move in and about. This meant that even immigration had to be put to a halt. That is why the number for immigration has definitely gone down since the start of the lockdown which was in March this year.

With the country being able to have a good handle over the virus, the government has started to open up its borders and start the recovery of its economy which has been badly hit because of the pandemic. Now, this has also been a way for the country to start bringing in again immigrants who are quite beneficial to the country. For June, Canada was able to record the highest level for immigration since the pandemic took its toll.

The data for immigration in June

There were around 19,200 new individuals who were given permanent residency statuses in Canada for June 2020. This was according to data that was released by the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (also known as the IRCC). This number is definitely the highest since the start of the pandemic in Canada. For May, the country was able to record only 11,000 new immigrants and only 4,000 back in April.

The number for June may have been the highest since the pandemic begun, however, it was still far off from the number recorded for June a year ago. In June 2019, Canada was able to bring in more than 34,000 new immigrants to its territory. This is quite understandable given that there were a lot of disruptions brought about by the pandemic and it is a really huge thing given just how much the rate has gone down since March. Knowing just how much immigrants are important in Canada, this is good news definitely.

The top countries where immigrants came from

According to data from the IRCC, the top 10 countries where the immigrants for June came from has India at the top with 6,760 new immigrants. India has been the leader as the top country of origin for many immigrants in Canada in the recent months and years. China is at second place with 2,010 immigrants, and the Philippines in third with 900 immigrants. Fourth and fifth on the list is the USA with 740 immigrants and Pakistan with 595. Following closely behind Pakistan is Brazil and the United Kingdom with 560 and 535 immigrants respectively. Nigeria is in 8th place with 530 new immigrants. Iran with 390 new immigrants and South Korea with 355 new immigrants took the 9th and 10th rank respectively.
