In 2021, Canada Successfully Brought In 405,000 New Immigrants

According to fresh data received from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, Canada exceeded its target for immigration in 2021 by successfully welcoming a total of 405,303 new permanent residents last year. These new immigrants are what Canada has been looking forward to having since the start of the pandemic when immigration had to be put on pause. This is a big number given that the pandemic is still not over and there are still tons of potential immigrants who are scared to go ahead with their plans of moving to the country.

 

Only once in the entire history of Canada has the total number of new immigrants reached 400,000, and that happened back in 1913. In 1914, World War I happened and immigration rates went down. And in today’s situation, with the pandemic still ongoing, many people are still scared to venture out and start a new life in a new country because of the uncertainty of things. However, with how Canada has been able to have a good grasp of how to run things in the midst of this pandemic, a lot of people have taken courage and pushed ahead with their plans.

 

Immigrants help out with economic recovery

 

To help out with the post-pandemic economic recovery of Canada, the immigration plans for 2021 to 2023 aimed at bringing in around 401,000 new immigrants in 2021 alone. The pandemic started in March of 2020 and during that year, Canada was only able to bring in 184,000 new immigrants. It was during this year that Canada’s growth in terms of its population reached one of the lowest levels in its history since World War I. Before the pandemic happened, the country’s plan was to bring in at least 341,000 new immigrants each year.

 

Canada has been bringing in new immigrants each year as these individuals help the country out in many different ways. With the economy being heavily affected by the pandemic, these new immigrants are very much welcome as immigrants have been known to greatly help out with the economy. It is a good thing that the country has been able to handle the pandemic well which is a big factor for many people to choose Canada as the country to move to.

 

Meeting its target

 

For Canada to meet its target for 2021, the IRCC ensured that it awarded permanent residency visas to a good amount of its temporary residents. As per the IRCC, in the midst of this pandemic and the limitations on travel and other obstacles, this was the best and most effective way to meet its goal in terms of immigration. It does seem like a really good plan as it was able to bring up the total of new immigrants higher than the previous years.
