Information about Canada's Immigration Levels Plan for 2023–2025 was just released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
In 2021, Canada welcomed over 405,000 immigrants, breaking its previous record. This year, Canada is hoping to welcome close to 432,000 immigrants.
Canada plans to welcome 465,000 new permanent residents in 2023, 485,000 in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025. This is increased from the Immigration Levels Plan announced from earlier this year.
Canada is currently experiencing a labour force shrink, and immigration is one government function that is crucial to Canada's ability to sustain economic growth and health. As the government announced the new immigration levels plan, we can expect Canada to welcome more newcomers.
