Fewer New Immigrants Make It To Canada In May 2021

Each year, the government of Canada has a target when it comes to the number of new immigrants that it would be bringing in and welcoming to the country. The target usually is a huge number and so far, Canada has been able to hit the target quite well – except, of course, when the pandemic hit and restrictions and lockdown were put in place.

 

However, recently, Canada had another quick stumble when it comes to meeting its target in terms of the number of new immigrants that it would be bringing in. See, just this May 2021, the country was able to welcome just around 17,100 individuals who were given permanent residency statuses. This was definitely a lot lower as compared to the previous months’ number. But given the situation where things are still quite uncertain because of the pandemic, it is not surprising if this happens. In fact, it is, so far, the one of the months that had a low number of new immigrants.

 

Data from the IRCC

 

Data from the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada were released recently and it definitely showed a slowing down in terms of the number of new immigrants that are coming in Canada. May 2021 marked the fourth month straight that a lower number of new immigrants had been recorded in the country. This is right after experiencing quite a strong start this 2021. This can perhaps be attributed to the unpredictable changes in the rules when it comes to handling the pandemic not only in Canada but in other countries as well.

 

In January, Canada was able to bring in around 24,680 new immigrants and around 23,400 in February. By March, the country was able to bring in around 22,400 new immigrants and around 21,100 by April. Including the new immigrants in May, Canada has successfully welcomed a bit over 108,000 new immigrants for the first five months of this year. And if looking at the immigration plan of Canada, it has to bring up the pace if it wants to meet its target.

 

An ambitious immigration plan

 

A number of experts who have been looking at the plans that the Canadian government has with regards to immigration have said that that plan may be quite ambitious. See, Canada has planned on bringing in around 401,000 new immigrants each year starting 2021. This has been noted as the biggest and most ambitious goal that Canada has in its immigration history. However, this plan has been made as such because the country believes that new immigrants can be a huge help to the country in terms of helping the economy recover from the pandemic. It has long been proven that immigrants have been very beneficial to the economy and Canada recognizes that.
