Canada landed 22,425 new permanent residents in March 2021.
Data released by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) earlier this week shows the country welcomed over 70,000 new immigrants in the first quarter of this year.
IRCC is guided by the most ambitious immigration plan in the country’s history. In late October 2020, the department’s minister, Marco Mendicino, announced the 2021-2023 Immigration Levels Plan.
Canada aims to welcome 401,000 new immigrants in 2021 which would tie the record set in 1913. It looks to welcome even more newcomers over the next two years.
Canada is announcing new programs and policies to encourage immigration to Canada for people who are already in Canada and overseas. The recent six new immigration pathways, PNPs, new Ontario OINP EOI system and new RNIP/ Pilot program points structure are encouraging the immigration.
