11,000 New Immigrants Welcomed In Canada In August 2020

Despite the pandemic that the world is still reeling from, Canada has already started to get back on its feet and started to go back to working on its goals. One of the top things that Canada has been working on is getting back businesses and employment numbers up. The economy has been one of the hardest hit by the pandemic and getting it right back up would be beneficial to the country. Immigration has also been put to a halt because of the pandemic but it is a good thing that Canada is slowly welcoming new immigrants nowadays.

 

As per data for August 2020, the country was able to welcome a total of 11,315 individuals as the newest permanent residents of Canada. The number is lower as compared to the total for July 2020 which was at 13,645. However, less new immigrants is good than not having any new immigrants in Canada at all. Immigrants have been important factors of Canada and that is why the country is known for being open to accepting a huge amount of newcomers each year.

 

The immigration numbers for Canada

 

Comparing the number of immigrants welcomed in August of 2020 as compared to the same month a year earlier, the number for this year is definitely lower. The year previously, Canada took in around 31,600 new immigrants. Of course, the lower number is quite understandable given that there is a pandemic still happening and there are travel restrictions still in place after the government of the country sent them out last March 2020 as part of the protocols to be followed to help stop the spread of the virus that is causing the pandemic.

 

So far this year, Canada was able to bring in a total of 128,400 immigrants. And experts who have been looking at the data have said that the country would not be able to meet the usual number that it has been able to take in per year. There would be around 200,000 new immigrants less for 2020 and this would be the first time that such thing would happen since 1999.

 

All things are temporary

 

Experts who have been looking at the immigration trends happening in Canada right now have disclosed that though the country may be experiencing lower levels of immigration, this is just a temporary thing because of the pandemic. Despite that, Canada is still positive about things and is showing its commitment to making sure that immigration continues in the country despite everything that is happening to the world. Of course, the government had to make protocols to make sure that the virus does not spread in the country. This is a good thing because it just shows that Canada is doing the best that it can to keep everyone safe.
