Around 38,000 New Immigrants Welcomed In Canada In August 2021

For many months, Canada had to deal with a low amount of immigrants coming in, no thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic that made a lot of countries, including Canada, put a lockdown and stop all non-essential travel. During this time, the country had to deal with making sure that the virus does not spread among its people and had to put everyone’s health and safety above everything else. Even the economy was put on hold.

 

However, with the updates and new information gathered regarding how the virus works, Canada has been able to create new health protocols that would help keep the virus at bay and lessen the chances of people contracting it. And with that, Canada has slowly been able to work towards recovery and reopen businesses and the economy. One of the things that the government has done to help the country recover would be to bring in new immigrants who would be helping out with the economy among many other things.

 

Immigration numbers go up

 

Data released by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has shown that things are doing better in terms of immigration in Canada. For August 2021, the country was able to bring in a total of 37,780 new immigrants. This is the third time in a row that the monthly immigration levels had definitely gone up than the usual amount. It surely is a great reflection of just how well the government is doing in terms of bringing in new immigrants to the country and also how popular the country has become among aspiring immigrants, especially with how it has been able to handle the pandemic.

 

In July, Canada was able to bring in around 40,000 new permanent residents, and a month before that, the number was at around 36,000. Before the whole pandemic happened, the country was able to bring in around 25,000 to 35,000 new permanent residents per month. However, when the pandemic struck, that number had definitely gone down due to the lockdowns and such.

 

The roads towards meeting the immigration target

 

For years, Canada has created immigration plans and targets. So far, the country was able to meet the number that it had set for each year – until the pandemic came around. When that happened, the numbers did not meet what was set for each month in terms of its immigration goals. However, come June 2021, the numbers started to pick up and it does seem like Canada would soon be able to meet the target that it had set for 2021. As per its Immigration Levels Plan for 2021 to 2023, the country is aiming to bring in 401,000 new immigrants at the very least each year and so far for 2021, the country sure is on its way towards meeting that number.
