Canada Immigration Targets (2019-2021)

Canada wants 350K immigrants

Canada’s Immigration Targets for 2019-2021

On November 1st, 2018, the Canadian government announced its “multi-year immigration plan” that aims to bring 350,000 permanent residents in 2021.

Once again, the Canadian government argues that the goal is to support both Canadian businesses and labour market needs, and remarked that “the multi-year immigration plan will foster economic growth in the face of slowing labour force growth and an ageing population”.

The economic class will continue to account for the majority (58%) of all admissions; the family class will account for 26% and 15% will be admitted under the humanitarian and refugee categories.
