Immigration Minister Says Canada Is On Track With Meeting 2021 Immigration Target

While many experts have said that the immigration target that Canada had put in place for 2021 is quite an ambitious one, Canada does not think so. In fact, its very own immigration minister, Marco Mendicino, has lately disclosed that the country is on its way towards meeting the target for this year.

 

The immigration situation had been quite bad when the pandemic started and borders had to be closed up. This meant a lot of people who were supposed to be immigrants in Canada had to postpone their plans until the borders were open again. Despite the low influx of immigrants, Canada had to make do with that as the health of the entire country was at stake given how the virus operates. And now that the borders are reopening, the country is more than happy to share that they are back on track and are doing the best that they can to make up for all of the months that they were not able to hit their target for immigration.

 

Right on track

 

The immigration minister has been more than proud to share that the country is on the right track towards meeting what it has set for its immigration target for this year. Canada has a goal of being able to bring in at least 401,000 permanent residents who are newcomers to the country just for 2021 alone. And Mendicino is happy to share that given the number of new immigrants that have entered the country in June and July this year, it does seem that things are looking good.

 

In July this year, Canada was able to have 39,500 new permanent residents which is quite a good number already. A month before, in June, there were around 35,700 new immigrants who were recorded to have entered the country. With those new numbers, Canada has already been able to record a total of over 184,000 new permanent residents so far. And 2021 is still far from over, thus meeting the target is very likely to happen.

 

Reaching that goal

 

Mendicino is feeling very positive about how things are going and he has also shared during a phone interview that Canada is definitely ahead at what they had expected they would be able to accomplish by July of 2021. And despite getting a good amount already, he also continued that the country would be even pushing the pace further to get in more new permanent residents that Canada is targeting. The Immigration Ministry is very focused on meeting the goal that it has set for this year and they are doing all the best that it could do to be able to deliver. With how things are going, it is not going to be a surprise if and when Canada hits its target.
