15,000 Immigrants In Canada Received Permanent Resident Visas In September

For years, Canada has been open to bringing in and accepting new immigrants each year since these individuals have a great contribution to the economy and to many other things in the country. The country has also been awarding permanent resident visas to a huge number of these immigrants. While other countries have been trying to keep the number of immigrants at a minimum, Canada has been open to bringing in a lot.

 

However, because of this global pandemic caused by the disease known as COVID-19, many countries, including Canada, had to put a lockdown on their borders in March. This meant that bringing in new immigrants would have to wait. Recently though, the country had been able to put safety measures in place and so reopening the doors for immigrants and potential permanent residents could be done. Canada has had a target when it comes to giving permanent resident visas but that is not happening because of the situation.

 

The data from the IRCC

 

According to the data released by the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (also known as the IRCC), Canada has welcomed a total of 15,025 new individuals as immigrants just for the month of September this year. This may seem like a huge number already, however, it is a lot lower as compared to the 35,000 new immigrants that the country was able to bring in for the same month a year ago. Of course, that was when there was no pandemic yet so the difference is quite understandable.

 

The country was able to bring in around 143,500 new immigrants from January until September. Given the number, it is very likely that the country would not be able to hit its target of new immigrants for this year. There may be a shortage of around 200,000 immigrants for 2020 alone. Last year, Canada was able to bring in 264,000 new immigrants from January to September. For the entire year, there were more than 341,000 new immigrants welcomed in the country.

 

The commitment to bringing in new immigrants

 

The pandemic may have created a lot of chaos and uncertainty all around the world but it is not going to stay forever. Scientists and doctors have been doing their very best to try and find a solution to this pandemic and there have been improvements. Canada recognizes this and that is why it is doing the best that it can to start working around the pandemic and bring in the immigrants that the country really needs. There may have been some setbacks this year because of this but the government of Canada is committed to adjusting the levels by next year so the country would be able to have all of the immigrants that it needs.
