At Least 400,000 Immigrants Per Year Is Canada’s Target For 2021-2023

Canada is definitely working hard to be able to meet good immigration levels that are healthy for the country. The country had to stop accepting new immigrants because of the pandemic. It even had to enforce a lockdown so that movement of people would be limited in Canada itself so as to help stop the spread of the virus that has caused the global pandemic. Now, the country is slowly working its way back to where everything seemed to stop and start making progress once again.

 

One of the things that the country is working on now is bringing up the immigration levels in the country. With proper health and social protocols in place, the country can now start to accept new people to its soil. It has also recently announced the new plan for bringing up the immigration levels for 2021 to 2023. This new plan is said to be an ambitious one as Canada is seemingly targeting the highest numbers ever in its entire history.

 

The plan on immigration levels

 

As per the announcement from the government of Canada, the country is planning on bringing in 401,000 new immigrants in 2021. By 2022, the target would be 411,000 new immigrants. And in 2023, it would be aiming at bringing in 421,000 immigrants. The numbers are really quite high as compared to the previous years’ targets. The last time that the country was able to bring in 401,000 new immigrants was back in 1913. After that, Canada has yet to come close to achieving that number.

 

Aside from that, as per the new plans for immigration, Canada is planning on bringing in at least 60% of the new immigrants via programs under the economic class which includes the Provincial Nominee Program. This is a very important thing for Canada because the country is quite reliant on immigrants to help out with certain issues and situations in the country. The country accepts new immigrants through a number of categories which include economic, refugee, humanitarian and compassionate, and family.

 

The plans earlier this year

 

Before the pandemic, the government of Canada has announced that it would be bringing in more than a million new people and award them with permanent residency visas. This plan would be for 2020 until 2022. However, a number of days after that announcement, the country had to close its borders and enforce social distancing and a lockdown because of the pandemic. Though the country may be bringing in immigrants now, but they will most likely not be able to reach their target for 2020 by at least 341,000 new immigrants. This is why the government is doing its best to be able to make up for it with new plans for the next three years.
