15,000 New Immigrants Welcomed In Canada In October 2020

Canada has always been a popular choice for many people who have been planning on becoming immigrants in a new country. This country has continuously been welcoming thousands and thousands of new immigrants each year. That is why it is would be quite a surprising thing to know if Canada receives even more applications each year from people who are interested in becoming immigrants there.

 

For October 2020, Canada has been able to welcome around 15,000 new people to become the newest immigrants in the country. It is just around the same number for the new immigrants that the country had welcomed for the month before. The number is definitely lower as compared to the usual numbers that the country had been welcoming each year pre-pandemic. However, because of the travel and movement restrictions that have been put in place by the government to help stop the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes the disease known as COVID-19, many potential immigrants had to put their plans on hold until things were a bit better.

 

October is a strong month for immigration

 

According to data from the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, October 2020 has showed to be the next strongest month in terms of arrivals of new immigrants in the country ever since the pandemic came. It may be a strong month for Canada but the number is still quite low as compared to the other months before the pandemic, and this is highly understood, given the situation. Before the pandemic came about, Canada had been bringing in around 25,000 to 35,000 people as new immigrants each month.

 

Compared to October of last year, Canada was able to bring in 31,000 new immigrants. This is over 100% of the current number for October 2020. Again, this is not surprising given the situation that the world has right now. It is a good thing though that Canada has been able to have a good kind of control over the pandemic in its territory that is why it has now successfully been able to bring in a good amount of immigrants despite the threat that the virus brings to one’s health.

 

The projections for Canada

 

From January to October this year, Canada has been successfully able to bring in around 158,600 new immigrants. Looking at the goals that the country has before the pandemic hit, the number would definitely mean that by the end of 2020, Canada would be around 200,000 short of the target for new immigrants. This would be the first time that such a thing would happen since 1999. The country has been able to bring in more than 341,000 last year and it was supposed to have about the same amount this year, if it were not for the pandemic.
